By Wall Street Journal

NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-With rail
averages at the highest levels since
the middle of November, many com
mission houses today recommended
representative rails to their specula-
tive clientele in preference to indus
trials.
This advice was based on the
thought that the advancing tendency
shown by carriers in the last six days
indicated that they offered better op-
portunity for profits during the period
of inertia in industrials which are
being held back by professional sellers
who base their operations on Europ-
can uncertainty.
Suggestions Of this character sent
out on the morning brokerage wires
resulted in good demand for b. & o.,
Pennsylvania and Union Pacific which
scored fractional gains on the initial
sales.
IndustriaIs were steady around yes
terday's closing prices.
Trading was extremely sluggish in
the first hour. No better demon
stration OF lifeless character of deal.
fact that a speculative leader like
Studebaker made it's first appearance
on the tape at 1915 a. m. But de
spite the dullness the market showed
confident undertone. Interests on
the bull side were encouraged by
the persistent failure Of the bears to
force LIQUIDATION in pivotal stocks.
Recoveries in the last hour in each
session this week were plain enough
indications of what was going on in
the market. Professionals each day
have hammered away at prices In vain
covering operations before the close,
indicating they consider It wise to re
iterate rather than risk consequences

European Complications Have
Depressing Effect.
BIZ Initial FinnncinL

By United Financial
CHICAGO, Jan. 5.-Wheat opened
slightly lower with corn fracticnaliy
higher and other grains unchanged
on the Board Of Trade today, due
largely to heavy Liverpool selling.
Argentine cables and reports Of
snow and rain over parts Of the
Southwest were factors entering into
the bullish market.
Further complications in the Eu-
ropean situation threaten to, cut off
entirely the European demand. Ex-
port trade was at a standstill and
little business was seen.
Corn rallied on reports Of heavy
holding receipts and a large move
ment of hogs to the market.
