THURSDAY’S GAINS HEARTEN TRADERS * IN OPENING DEALS Speculative Leaders Respond to Confidence Rom of Previous Recovery, The WALL STREET JOURNAL NEW YORK. May 25.—Confidence born of the violent character of Thursday’s last hour" recovery • was strengthened by the improvement shown by the ratio for the Federal Reserve system as a whole and stocks were buoyant throughout the list in today's trading. Speculative leaders of the calibre of Baldwin. California Pete, American Ice and American Can gained ground, while rails were steady at the best levels on the current bullswing. First Hour Trading progressed on an active scale in the first hour and further progress on the recovery was scored in several sections of the list. Coppers moved ahead on intimation that one of the most important developments in ths history of the industry would be made public in a few weeks. Short covering was particularly noticeable in issues like Baldwin, Steel and rican Locomotive. Second Hour Although the volume of dealings fell off around noon, prices were steady around the best levels on the recovery. Optimism resulting fron. better action of the market was heightened by Judge Gary’s remarks before tho American Iron and Steel Institute. Steel continued active around 95 while Pan-American made anew high on the rebound, followeu bv National Lead among the specialties. Noon Hour Nothing occurred in the noon dealings to check the forward movement of stocks and issues recently under pressure came to life in an astonishing and very satisfactory manner for those with long accounts, while shorts, crowded by the advancing market, wer# hustling to cover their contracts with the least possible loss of time. As the recovery progressed it broadened to include practically the whole list. Fourth Hour No interruption appeared to stop tthe progress of the general list as the session wore on. Stocks known to be enjoying a high earning rate such as Baldwin, American Can and a whole list of others continued to pile up their gains, in striking contrast to the recent losses suffered duj ing the professional attacks of the past few weeks. With the pressure entirely lifted these Issues rebounded with remarkable resiliency. Closing Hour Restore-2 confidence was the dominating note of the day’s' market session. Instead of being able to renew pressure on the list, bearish professionals were'placed in an increasingl embarrassing position as the rally progressed. Their covering operations and important buying stimulated by the favorable character of trade developments lent impetus to the recovery which proceeded at a rapid pace until the last gong. Twenty active Industrial stocks on Thursday averaged 96.03, up 2.13 per cent. Twenty .active rails averaged 82.70, up 1.79 per cent.

GRAINS DECEINE ON [MARKET Lack of European Buying Proves Depressing Factor, B y Vnited Financial CHICAGO, May 25.—An extremely dull market resulted in prices declining on the Chicago Board of Trade today. One of the depressing factors in wheat was the lack of European buying in the new crop. This was attributed to ihe generally favorable outlook for the. foreign crop, especially in Germany and France. Weakness in corn was attributed to a lack of cash demand and continued favorable planting. Reports from St. Louis declared the South and Southwest had practically backed away from the cash market. Oats lacked individual features and ! declined with other grains. Buying power was lacking in provisions and with lower grain and hog prices further weakness was displayed by the market.

MISPLACED COMMA MAY INVALIDATE NEW LAW Attorneys for ten persons indicted for possession of stills under the law of March 1, 1923, which prescribes a year in the State prison for violations, attacked the statute today in Criminal Court.

"It shall be unlawful for any person to have • • • • an y rt till for the I manufacture of intoxicating liquor. | In violation of tho laws of this State,’’ reads the disputed section, the comma appearing between the words ’'liquor’’ and '‘in.’’ There is no State law forbidding posesslon of stills which could l>o violated, said defense attorneys. Judge James A. Collins ordered briefs submitted.
