Sterling recovered mild ly in dollar transactions, but the gold exchanges still pointed down ward.

Smelting, Sears Roebuck, Union Pacific and Western Union. Homestake Min ing dropped 5 points on a few sales. Notwithstanding mixed prices, some stock market observers were inclined to feel that the compar atively small volume of liquidation and short selling was Indicative of a soundly Imbedded Industrial re covery sentiment which wishes to ignore the change in Inflatory psy chology and Is looking some dis tance ahead for profits.
