OILS PROMINENT IN RECOVERY ON STOCK EXCHANGE Steel Common Takes Early Leadership, Influencing General List. The WALL STREET JOURNAL NEW YORK, June 20. —Price movements in early trading in the stock market today continued to reflect the recovery of speculative thought from the unreasoning fright which brought hurried selling into Monday's market. Tuesday's advance in the industrial average kept the November lows out and support twice met at that level within a month suggested the possibility of a substantial rally and Steel common with a fractional gain was the early leader of an advance. First Hour Steel common remained the leader of the industrial group, and, in fact, the whole list during the first hour. This move influenced other leaders that had ben made the object of bearish attacks during the recent decline and stocks of the caliber of American Can. which moved up a half point, followed the leadership of Steel, while Sinclair, among the oils, gave evidence of a better tone in its group.
Second Hour Further progress on the recovery was made during the late morning with oils taking a prominent part in the rally under guidance of California Petroleum which made a good response to semi-official advices that only sixteen notices to drill on the coast were filled last week. This falling off was most particularly noticeable in southern fields where the output is heaviest. This move suggested curtailed production. Noon Hour Announcement of the failure of the stock exchange house of Zimmerman & Forshay was followed by another break in the market shortly' after noon that speedily wiped out the morning recovery and resulted in establishing new lows on the current decline in many active stocks, including Baldwin, which touched 122, and Steel common, which dropped to 92%. Burns Brothers' issues broke badly on heavy selling for account of Zimmerman & Forshay. Fourth Hour Again it became necessary for the standard rails of the calibre of Atchison and New York Central to steady the general list in the selling precipitated by the forced selling of a number of issues held to the account of the firm of Zimmerman & Forshay, whose failure was made public around noon. Substantial buying In the carrier group served to tone the market and lend strength to issues in a position to benefit by a slight rally. Closing Hour Despite the fact that a considerable number of new lows for the year had been established individual stocks in the day's session, those espousing the side of rising prices were reassured by th eteadines of the general list at the low levels touchd on the current decline. The absence of lat selling pressure following forced liquidation of accounts held by Zimmerman & Forshay indicated the Sear contingent was unwilling to seek new victories. Twenty active industrial stocks on Tuesday averaged 92.76, up 12 per cent. Twenty active rails averaged 81.74, off .40 per cent.

WHEAT AND OATS TOUCH NEW LOWS National Wheat Conference Prediction Aids in Decline, By Fnited Financial CHICAGO, June 20. —New lows were reached on all deliveries of wheat and oats with heavy liquidation continuing through to the close of the Chicago Board of Trade today. Corn suffered some recession in prices. Heavy liquidation in wheat continued throughout the fifty. Crop news was generally favorable. An unsettled condition that settled over the pit at the inception of the National Wheat Conference, which opened sessions here Tuesday, was manifest by the prediction that wheat would reach the $1 level before the week-end. Corn suffered a recession in prices with free offerings especially in southwestern markets. Kansas City advising that country shipments showed a marked increase. As ever a break in prices aided in the decline. Free offerings of oats, together with lack of demand, brought declines. Provisions were lower on a dull and neglected market.

BOK ‘FINANCIER’ WINS IN DOG DEAL Prize Canine He Sold Is Returned —Money Kept, CLEVELAND, June 20. —Billy Livingston, a boy and a “natural born trader,” is two bits ahead. A con-science-stricken gentleman is an equal amount to the bad, while a puppy, the innocent cause of a troublesome incident, once more sits on the Livingston’s porch. Billy was playing with Prince, a prize winning dog worth several hundred dollars, when a man approached with an offer for the dog The little salesman finally accepted 25 cents, and ga.ve the puppy to the stranger. When F. L Livingston discovered that his son had "traded'' the dog he notified the newspapers which ran stories about the “transaction” between the 5 year-old boy and the stranger. Last night a woman went to the Livingston home with the dog. Her husband, she said, had bought the dog for their children, and he was very much ashamed when he read the story in the newspapers. Billy was on the job to get his ring hack and was almost tickled to death when the woman hurried off without asking for the 25 cents It was later learned that he had obtained a stray mongrel for the man who brought the puppy back. He now has two dogs and the money-

Puzzle Englishman, NETY YORK, June 20— D Millen, representative of two of England’s best shoe houses, considers Americans extreme in their choice of He calls the red. green and blue shoes worn at present in New York by women “millinery for the feet" and maintains that they are out of place on flm street “Americans hav the shoe habit.” said Mr. Millen. who is at the Hotel Pennsylvania. ‘ Th n y buy shoes often and they buy several pairs at a time. In England, on the other hand, the day is not far past when if a woman bought one pair each of street shoes, evening slippers and bedroom slippers she thought she was well equipped The point is, English women buy heavier, more durable shoes, which wear a long time and stand many trips to the repair shop. “The present vogue for bright-hued shoes here seems strange to me. They seem out of place. A* Nice or any fashionable resort perhaps they might go. but not on the streets of a commercial city. English taste is more conservative. The most popular shoe with English women today is the antelope <>r suede shoe In mouse color with fancy straps. However, America has no competitors in the street and dress shoe line. Your manufacturers excel in the manufacture of such shoes just as the English firms are pre eminent in the production of heavier sport footwear.” LAND SALE IS ORDERED Workhouse Property Will Be Sold at Auction.
