GULF STEEL LEADS GENERAL LISE IN MARKETRECOVERY Silk Stocks Come to Life With Further News of Japanese Disaster, SPECIALTIES FAVORED Reconstruction Orders to Be Placed in America Expected to Be Large, The WALL STREET JOURNAL NEW YORK, Sept. 5. —Although additional details regarding the Japanese disaster heightened the seriousness of its aspect, it was yet impossible to gauge the full import of its effect on the economic situatioh and stocks, therefore, assumed a neutral attitude in today’s early dealings. Apprehension over loss of life and property was offset somewhat by the thought that reconstruction orders placed In this country were bound to reach large proportions and price changes in the early movements were for the most part confined to a fractional area First Hour Some selling of Steel, Can and other industrial leaders was easily absorbed in the first hour and the main body by stocks displayed steadiness around 11 o’clock. With the general list showing confidence that the Japanese disaster would have no serious effect on American business conditions, group activities were resumed in a number of specialties. Cuyamel Fruit advanced more than a point and silk stocks were buoyant, reflecting the boom in the raw silk prices resulting directly from the damage to silk works In Japan. Second Hour When professional operators saw the market was no longer nervous over the ultimate consequences of the Japanese catastrophe, a movement was started that brought about generally higher levels In the late morning. Gulf States Steel led the rally, spurting four points from Tuesday’s low on reports that the crowd sponsoring its movements planned another demonstration against the shorts. National Biscuit touched new high ground for 1923 and Loose-Wiles followed with a three-point gain, while Cuba Cane was another specialty that was favored Noon Hour Stocks maintained a rallying ten dency through the noon dealings in which American Can recovered three points of its i-ecent decline, selling at 98 around 1 o'clock, Baldwin. Steel and other speculative leaders also retraced some of the ground lost since last week and Westlnghouae developed special activity, advancing fractionally while Dupont went to new levels on the movement. Strength in Alton share was practically the only point of interest in the rail group as new high levels was attained by the preferred while the common gained nearly a point. Fourth Hour The forward movement which had gained considerable momentum In the noon dealings took on more spirit in the early afternoon when confirmation of the thought that the tragedy in the Far East was more likely to prove beneficial to domestic trade than otherwise was furnished by the week ly steel reviews which reported goodsized Inquiries from Japanese exporters, representing expected needs in steel for emergency work. This situation also helped silk stocks such as j Mallinson and Julius Kayser, also in a position to benefit by the havoc of the j catastrophe. Closing Hour Prices were at the best levels of the day as the session drew to a close. ; Savage Arms went into new high ground for the year and new highs on the rally were reached by Ameri- ' can and Continental Can, Baldwin, j Steel and other industrial leaders of the same calibre. With the inside position of the market corrected by j Tuesday’s setback, stocks appeared ready to resume the proces* of discounting the prospect of ample prosperity during the fall and winter seasons which bid fair to show an increase in most lines of business. Twenty active industrial stocks on Tuesday was 92.25, off .97 per cent. Twenty active rails averaged 78.96, off .92 per cent.

Business News NEW YORK, Sept. s.—According to definite information received in Japanese business circles in New York City, the first dependable estimate of the earthquake and fire damage in Japan is about $3,500,001).000. of which $2,500,000,000 is in Toklo alone. It was regarded as probable that It will take at least six months to restore industry only In part, on aeeount not alone of the damaged buildings and machinery but on the huge loss in skilled labor. WASHINGTON—The general agricultural conditions outside the wheat belt are apparently somewhat better this season than last, according to the monthly agricultural review- of the Department of Agriculture. "The East, ths South, the corn belt, the range country and the Pacific coast apparently show improvement both in position a* to debts an doutlook for fall income.” the review states. “The wheat situation is not to be overlooked, however.” DETROIT—Hupp Motor Car sales in August were 3.155. against about 1.000 in July. The small sales In July were due to change In the model and consequent reduced output. The demand for the new model Is strong and indication* point to good fall business. LOS ANGELES —Oil production in southern California for the week ending Sept. 1 showed a slight increase, the three big fiial4* Santa Fe Springs. Long Beach and Huntington Beach, averaging 076,000 barrels dally production, against 073,000 barrel* daily the previous week. NEW YORK—Queried by the Wall Street Journal about a rumor that he might be interested a* a possible customar of Durant Motor*. Charles M. Schwab said: “It 1* absolutely -without foundation. There is no truth in it whatever.”
