 New York. Jan. .-Opening En- couraged by the success of their drive late yesterday. bear traders made a new attack at the opening to-day. In- itial price changes were irregular but the market soon dropped. Reading. Southern Pacitip Steel and sAmalga- mated were nnfuaded in 1arge blocks. In spite of the vigor of the bear as sault, recessions were limited to frac- tions except in the case of Reading, which lost a point. Unable to force a decisive break, the shorts retreated and the list sstfffened. Reading reeov- cred it's loss and Canadian Pacific
 C1osing@The market closed easy. Profit taking continued today and there was renewed bear selling but reeessions were small and trading was dull. Some stocks recovered their early losses only to give way again later The aggressive marking up of low proceeds, however. was continued. Canadian Pacific, which rose 2 points, was the only prominent issue to op- pose the downward trend.
 Announcement that the Minneapolis & St. Louis had arranged an ehxten- sion of notes due next month caused the 4 per cent bonds to rise 3 points.
 Bonds were firm.
