Stock Market Drops;
Hopes Tor January
Comeback Fade
By Victor Eubonk
Associated Press Finoneiol Write.


NEW YORK, Jan. 10.-The stock
market today suffered one of its
sharpest stumhles Of the past month
after an early selectiye recovery
attempt failed to follow through.
There was showdown in the
wake of a fairly active and steady
opening. Offerings then appeared
in all departments with declines OF
fractions to 8 points widespread.
Dealings again quieted and extreme
setbacks were reduced in most cases
near the fourth hour.
Release of the Presidents budget
message around midday brought no
particular response from the share
division as the document was about
in line with forecasts. The morning
selloff was blamed partly on disap-
pointment of customers over the
lack of a real January rally.
Accounts also were trimmed by
those who wanted to await congress
sional moves on taxes, labor legisla-
ton and other economic problems.
Timid replacement purchasing again
was mildly helpful. Pleasing divi-
dends, on the whole, were ignored.
