STOCK MARKET RECOVERS Comparison With Last Wecka Activ ity Shows X'pward Trend. NEW TORK. April 30. Day by day contracts in the stork market last week threw little light on the specu lative sentiment expressed In the op erations. But comparison with the previous week it was possible to dis cern a distinct movement of recovery and a subsidence In activity. In tbe bond division there occurred another revival of demand and upward tendency of prices, comparable to that of the opening of the year. This movement may be ascribed largely to action of bank resources in the re serve renters and thla again la a con sequence of diminished demand for credits which argues a, lessened trade activity. Advices la regard to some of the leading industries, notably steel and textile, are confirmatory of thla Implication. Features of the bond market Included new Issues of railroad bonds of longer maturity. Reports of railroad earnings for March indicated success In lbs cut ting down of running expenses and corresponding benefit to the value of railroad shares resulted.
