Prices Rose Again In Market To-day
 But There Is Fear
The Upturn May Invite Reaction So the Buying Was
 Not Very Heavy During the Late Hours

sorbed and around mid-afternoon was holding gains of a fraction to several points. Similar improve ment was apparent in the bond market where only United States government issues were lower.
 Trading in stocks was in sharp contrast with the relatively heavy buying of the preceding two ses- sions. Buying was relatively light but offerings were few and the ad- vance met comparatively little re- sistance. Tickers dragged slowly and little interest was apparent in the leaders.
 Most traders were awaiting the ability of the market to digest it's recent gains and speculative inter- est dwindled accordingly. While Steel common continued to afford good leadership with fractional gain, most attention again was cen- tered on the railroad group which benefited from prospective devel- opments.
 Principal of these was the grow ing indication that railroad labor unions would shortly accede to the railroads request for a 10 per cent reduction in wages. This feeling was strengthened by news that 4,500 shop workers of the New Ha- ven had taken such a wage cut.
 Coppers as a group also were firm on overnight advices that ma jor companies of the industry had agreed upon sales principles fol- lowing their recent worldwide production accord. Anaconda, Ken- necott and American Smelling all were buoyant.
 A better feeling regarding for German short term credits would be extended for year from Feb ruary 29 resulted in rather active buying in international favorites like International Telephone, American and Foreign Power and Kreuger & Toll.

 Friday, Jan S-Receipts of live fowl from Western states at large Eastern markets continued light and prices held to the higher levels advanced to early in the week. Best colored fowl were quoted mostly at 25 cents per pound while bullets were reported selling as high as 27 cents per pound at New York. Local retailers were left dependant upon nearby sources of supply as a result and were being forced to bid higher in order to find enough to supply their needs.
 The premium price position us- ually held by Connecticut Newlaid Fancy eggs was mostly wiped out when leading distributors reduced their selling prices at mid-week to 39 cents per dozen. Other grades of large size native eggs were slow clearing but most sellers were holding for prices relatively higher than the latest low price declined to by the leading grade.
