CHICAGO, Jan. 31.--Yesterday's de- cline in the butter market here proved too radical. and today prices reacted upward half to one cent on SS score and above and on centralized cars.
 Following the advance, the market was steady to firm, with a nervous undertone. Speculative demand was cut off and practically no out-of-town business was received. Locally, both buyers and sellers were exerting no great effort to do business, preferring to await the trend of the market Tech nical scores were being held for premiums, and in some cases premiums were obtained. Supplies of top score whole milks were ample, but not bur densome, while butter scoring sS9 and under was none too plentiful.
 Available supplies of all grades of cars were limited.
 Fresh butter: 92 score, soc; 91 score, 49kc; 90 score. 4914c; 89 score, 4s1sc; ss score 4sc; ST score, 47c; s6 score, 46c.
 Centralized carlots, 90 score, s50hc; S9 score, 49c; Ss score, 4sc.

WHOLE MARKET
 GROWS BUOYANT Resumption Of Pool Operations In Afternoon Makes Shorts
 Seek Cover

NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-Selling pres sure was lifted from todays stock mar ket, and the general list moved to higher ground on buying influenced by the prospective reductions in 1923 income taxes, a series of good earnings Statements and favorable trade news, including reported increase in steel operations. Trading was comparatively quiet in the first three hours, but an active resumption of pool operations in the afternoon sent shorts scurrying to cover and imparted a buoyant tone to the whole market. American Can, sell ing x-dividend, touched 121 and closed slightly below that figure for a net gain of four points. Baldwin hit 1251a and then slipped to 125b, up 2Ss. Stude baker sold as high as 1041a and closed just below that for a net gain of 2A, and United States Steel moved up 1is to 107, duplicating yesterdays high price.
 Motors gave one of the best demon strations of group strength. General Motors was the invincible feature, sales of approximately 10000 shares of that stock representing more than one-tenth of the days total business. The stock touched 16, closing at 15%, up a.. Du. pont, the largest holder of General Motors stock, closed 7A higher. White Motor gained three points and Chandler, Mack Truck, StewartWar Stromberg Carburetor and Hayes Wheel about two each.
 Phillip Morris selling arrangements with Stephano Brothers led to reports of other commissions which brought ! fresh buying into the tobacco group. Phillip Morris touched new high for the year at 23s4. and American Tobac cot Products and Schulte showed gains of 1ss to 21a points.
 Beechnut Packing, California Pack ing, Computing g-Tabulating Recording, LacIede Gas, Pierce Oil preferred and westinghouse Airbrane, all up two to nearly five points.
 The American Petroleum institute re- ported a slight increase in crude oil output, but this was more than offset by the decrease in imports. Pacific oil and Associated Oil touched new 1924 tops at 57l4 and 34b, respectively.
 Establishment of a new high record for all time at 467s by Southern Rail- way, an overnight gain of 21a points, was the outstanding feature in the noted in the standard dividend payers.
 Short covering by European specula tors imparted strength to British eX- change in the local foreign exchange market, demand sterling jumping more than Dc to $4.31A, and then easing slightly. French francs held fairly steady just below 4.70 cents.
 Money rates were firner. Call money opened at Az and then advanced to 5. Time money, which was available at Az earlier in the week, was prac- tically on a A per cent basis today. Trading in commercial paper was quiet with no change in rates.

Wall Street Briefs

New York, May 2S.--Price move ments in the stock market seem 10 have been governed largely in recent sessions by legislative developments in Washington. Selling, based on the passage of the Bursum pension bill a few weeks ago, was followed by a rally when that measure was vetoed and another when the veto was sus- tained. Prices turned reactionary when congress first vetoed in favor of the soldier bonus, but stffened later when Wall street heard reports that the presidents veto might be sus- tained. Subsequent enactment of the bonus bill over the veto caused a sharp break. which was modified later by the reaching of an agreement by the senate and house conferees on the tax bill and it's subsequent approval by both branches of congress. When the tax bill is finally disposed of. the McNary- Haugen bill for farm relief and the postal salaries bill are ex- pected to become the dominant mar ket factors.
