Stock Changes Slight
AS Wall Street Waits
For Truman Message
Dy The Asseeioisd Pres.

NEW YORK, Jan. THE stock
market wallowed sluggishly In u
fractionally irregular price nut today
while Wall Street awaited the Pres
ident;s message to Congress.
Faint signs OF follow through
to yesterdays late rally appeared in
opening dealings but they were con-
fined mainly to selected aid issues.
Some bidding developed for motion
picture securities. Air stocks sup
piled the motive power for yester
days upturn.
AS trading swung through the
fourth hour gains and losses of
fractions were virtually sstandon.
How the presidential message
would be received by the market was
widely discussed in the financial
district. Persistent rumors that the
President would ask for an increase
In corporation taxes caused less con-
cern than might be expected. Such
a proposal, it was suggested in
brokerage quarters, would imme-
diately come under the fire of a Re-
publican Congress.
Higher at times were Douglas
Aircraft. Lockheed, Martin, Trans
continental u Western, Paramount
Picture, Loew's, American Tele-
phone, Bethlehem Steel, Republic
Steel. Illinois Central, International
Paper and Chrysler Marked down
of and on were Studebakm, Con-
solidated Edison, American Can.
Caterpillar Tractor, Gulf Oil, Ches-
apeake G Ohio, American Woolen
and Kennecott Copper.
