Moderate Recovery
In Quiet Dealings
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Jan. A slow
moving rally got under way in the
stock market today after yesterdays
drop.
Traces of early uncertainty per-
sisted but on the average prices were
a bit higher. Individual issues
moved up fractions to around a
point, in many cases, after small
early declines.
Trading was unusually slow and
at a rate which would bring the
days total to well below the 1,00O,-
000-share mark
Traders were evidently in no hurry
to do much until they hear what the
President has to say to Congress
tomorrow on the state of the Union.
A couple of gold stocks were we'll

Porcupine and Dome Mines showed
gains Of more than a point on slim

last week, again improved. Others
ahead included United States Steel,

tional Harvester, American Tele-

Electric, Chesapeake g. Ohio, Para
mount Pictures and Loew's.
Tri-Continental Corp, an invest

opening sale of 1900 shares and
continued in lower territory. Also
marked down were Goodrich, Con-

Corporate bonds moved over a
narrow price range. United States
Governments held firm in over-the-
counter dealings.
