NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-The stock
market went through a technical
reaction in the early trading today,
turned dull and then rallied under
the leadership of United States
Steel which Nd been the chief loser
on the reaction.
Business was fairly brisk for a
time and tickers ran behind six
minutes. But when the selling de-
pressed prices dealings fell off and
the tape was carrying odd-lot quota
tons.
Steel declined to 1762l, where it
was off q from the previous close.
On the rally it crossed 178 and the
whole market firmed up.
A feature was the copper group
which rose under the lead of
Anaconda. Amusements also were
active and special issues, such as
Columbian Carbon and Electric
Auto Lite made substantial gains.
Montgomery Ward rose and then
reacted. while Sears-Roebuck lost
ground in early trading and later
recovered a considerable amount of
it. Motor shares were barely steady.
holster was firmer in the cheap
radio shares. rising a point to 81.
Gold Dust was steady in the foods.

and at 1910 dropped to per cent,
the daily habit of late. Funds were
in large supply throughout the
session.

394,200 shares, against $4,000 Mon
day. At noon sales amounted to
1852, 700 against 1,444, 900 Monday.
