Commenting on the general rlco market situation. Talmage says. In his weekly cir cular to the trade: "Under good demand the market rules steady. The general assortment is becom ing more contracted as parcels run out, with little chance for duplicating at the primary market except at higher cost. Therefore the gradual depletion of reserve stocks of all styles has a strengthening effect on present holdings. Honduras offerings are growing dally more scarce, and with any ordinary demand the market will be cleaned up high and dry before the next month passes out. Japans aro still in abundant supply, but there is decidedly more Inquiry and the trade Is realizing that Japans are without a doubt a purrhase at preseut figures and worth pushing."

NEW YORK, June 23. It was the opinion of many traders today that Saturday's heavy selling of stocks had been overdone, and that there was no sound reason for such h severe decline as that which brought last week to a close. There was in consequence a tendency to-w-ard a recovery which was evident today as soon as the market opened. Attempts to cover revealed a scarcity of stocks. Nervous ness of tho shorts was increased by the be lief that Saturday's break was due principal ly to a bear raid. ay noon practically the entire list was higher with gains running up to three points in the case or union Pacific and Canadian Pacific. In the latter half of the day. trad ing grew dull and prices eased off gradually irom the top. Of influence In the improvement was the Delief that the Interstate Commerce Com mission's ruling in the freight rate case on Saturday had received .too much emphasis as a Dear factor. President Wilson's message to Congress on the currency question had no perceptiBle tniiuence on the market. This was nrob ably due to the fact that delivery of the message was preceded by publication of the currency bill Itself. It Is in the detailed nlan sot forth In the bill that Wall street's chief interest lies. Further slowing down In busi ness was indicated by the fortnightly report on idle freight cars. An Increase of nearly n.u'JU idle cars was shown. Bunds were firm. Steel 5's showed some heaviness, falling to the recent low level. iotal sales (par value) $1,050,000.
