The Dow, which started the day with a decline of 180 points, suddenly bounced back.
At noon its UP 88 points.
Meantime, the downward spiral is continuing for many of the global markets.
Hong Kong's market closed with a drop of almost 14-percent and Tokyo's Nikkei market lost more than four percent.
European markets also suffered big losses.
As the U-S stock market works to recover from its record sell-off President Clinton is emphasizing the strength of the U-S economy.

(( The day after recording its worst ever point decline, Wall Street's opening bell sounded amid optimism that yesterday's scare was just a correction.

But then, the roller coaster ride began. Stocks dropped more than 70 points just in the first hour of trading, and were down over 176 points when suddenly they recovered. For veteran investors, it promised to be a long day.

President Clinton, speaking this morning at a Chicago elementary school, said the strong economy will help Wall Street get through this tough time.
