NEW YORK. April 24.-operations
in today's stock market were on a
reduced scale. The effect on aenti.
ment Of an extension of the price cut
ting in tho oil field was largely neu-

NEW YORK. April 24.-The short
covering movement which was in
progress yesterday was continued at
the outset of today's dealings in the
stock market, prices of the usual
leaders opening at slightly higher
levels. Activity was greatest in the
domestic oil shares and there was

of the food issues. Corn Products

Emphatic gains were made by a
number OF industrials and s~pecialties
during the mornings trading in
stocks. Reports of increases in tho
price of steel products and expecta.
lions of further rises in raw and re.
fined sugar prices encouraged buying.
There was a brisk inquiry also for
the usual favorites. including the oil
rubber and tobacco stocks. Shares
of companies doing business in
Mexico were benefited by optimistic
reports of negotiations looking to the
recognition of Mexico by this govern
