Wall St, New York, Jan. 17.-SToCKS-
Further attempts on the part of profession
al trades to depresS prices during today s
brief stock market session met with little
success. A vigorous rally attended the
opening dealings bus- gains were cancelled
when heavy selling caused reyersals of 3
to 10 points IN such stocks as General
Motors, Crueible steel, Mexican petroleum,
Texas company, American wooden and U.
S. rubber Extensive supporting orders
came in at the lower levels, the rally in
a number of instances effecting full recov-
cries. The market became duh on the re-
bound but gains predominated at the firm
close. Sales Appropriated 100000 shares.
Short coverings and moderate buying for
the long account resulted in number of
material gains at the lively opening OF
teday's stock market. The issues that fea-
tured yesterdays sharp reversal, notably
general motors and high priced oils, were
foremost in the rally at advances of L to 31A
points. Tobaccosf and sugars also rose
briskly. There was little inquiry for rails,
but changes in that division were mainly
upward.

TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS

Chicago, Jan. 1z-CORN-Fresh declines
took place in the value of corn today large
ly as result of selling based on opinions
that a period of downward readjustment
of prices was at hand. This selling, how
ever. was of only a scattered sort. Weak
ness in the hog market contributed little
to the pressure on corn. Opening quota
tons, which ranged from &c to q lower,
with May $1.32 to 1.321s and July S1.3oss
to $1.305s, were followed by moderate
further setback.
Subsequently, commission house buying
on resting orders absorbed the offerings
and brought a rally. Word of trade re-
sumption with Russia evoked much interest,
but had no appreciable immediate effect on
prices. The close was firm at 1kc net de-
cline to &c advance with May $1.327s to
81. 33 and July $11.31ss.
OATS-Oats sagged with corn. After
opening &c to &c down, including May
s1asc TO size, the market continued to
drop.
OvISIONS-Provisions were weak ow-
ing to dowpturns in the value Of hogs
and grain. Some sign of liquidation ap-
peared.
