NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-After wa
Nering uncertainty in the early part of
today's brief session the stock mar
ket made smart recovery in the final
trading. Aggressive buying with at
lendant short covering resulted in gen
cral net gains, some extending to
more than two points.
Trading was again heavy, and in
the initial dealings the greatest pres
sure was brought to bear on such is
sues as Union Pacific and United
states Steel. Much of the early liq-
uidation was traced to commission
houses and doubtless represented to
an unusual degree forced selling for
weakened accounts
There is well defined belief in the
financial district that the week has
witnessed an enormous amount of SELL
ing of stocks by operators who have
taken severe losses in the cotton
market.
Board room sentiment was very
bearish at the outset today chiefly be-
cause of the absence of support in
steel and Union Pacific but the en-
tire market reversed it's course later
on the improvement shown in these
and allied issues.
