New York, July 6
5. C. & F. Dew Jones Summary of yesterday's mark:1:The market advanced from. 1 to above 5 points in one of the most active day's trading since May 13th. Sentiment has improved on the elimination of the French crisis and the apparent improved condition of the domestic labour situation. Covering by shoria added to the demand and the market was also influenced by the news of two advances in steel scrap prices and the outlook for sharp gains in business was low and was below ex- pretations,
The outlook has strengthened for payment of dividend on US. Steel, common. Brokers think that the upturn in prices will continue for some time and are advising purchases.
Curb stocks and bonds were higher, with Government issues firm. Steel mill activity during the past week is estimated at 67.3 per cent of capacity as against 78.0 per cent, the previous week.
S. C. & F. Wall Street Journal morning comment:-The devaluation of the Franc will probably decrease the gold imports of the United States Treasury. The natural recovery im- pulse has largely spent itself and has not been succeeded by the resumption of large-scale private capital invest- Iment. Net operating incomes of rallroads will probably increase in the third quarter. This year's auto- mobile production will probably exceed 5,000,000 units.
