STOCK MARKET TONE STEADY Mixed Changes Occurred in Initial Hour. NEW YORK, Jan. s.—There were mixed change* In the (took market at the opening today, with some moderate recessions due to the bearish position maintained by the room traders who continned to offer stocks because of the belief that much of the buying In the past two days had been covering of shorts which had been defeTed until the beginning of the new year. The supply from this source, however, was small and In the first few minutes a steadier tone developed with moderate improvements in prices. Steel common rose % of a point to 81%, but Baldwin Locomotive was subjected to enoi gh pressure to force it down % of a point to 85%. Weakness was shown In a number of the lower priced railroad stocks. Rock Island fell % of a point and Baltimore & Ohio fell % of a point to 48% In the first few minutes of trading. Lehigh Valley continued in demand, advancing % of a point to 56%. Improvement in the leather Industry was reflected In a fractional advance in American Hide & Leather common to 10. Mexican Petroleum droped 3 points to 151%, and Pan-American Petroleum yielded 1% points to 72. Selling pressure became more pronounced late in the forenoon, causing heaviness In the principal stocks. Mexican Petroleum sold off 4 points to 150%, and Pan-American Petroleum dropped 1% points to 71%. Royal Dutch yielded over 2 points to Most issues held fairly steady, although recessions wero naturally In order. Steel common, after it advance to 81%, yielded to 81%. Baldwin fell 1 point to 85%, but found support and had a sharp advance to 87%. This gain, however, was not long maintained and was followed by a reaction to 86. Reading yielded 1 point to 82%. i (By Thomson & McKinnon.) —Jan. 5 In Mexican Petroleum, the selling was more spectacular and was generally credited to the bearish operations rather than to liquidation. The important news item of the day was the action of the House In passing over the President’s veto the resolution reviving the war finance corporation. We cannot see in this act any results that would tend to stimulate general business. The revival of business must come through the natural and orderly arrival of public demand and the surest means of bringing this about would be fair prices. Any act that would tend to encourage hoarding of foods, or commodities will have as disastrous effects In 1921 as It had In 1920.

WHEAT LOSES 3 TO 5 CENTS Lack of Foreign Demand and Heavy Selling Factors. CHICAGO, Jan. 5. —Heavy selling and lack of foreign demand resulted In a drop In grain quotations on the Chicago Board of Trade today. Scattered selling of wheat appeared at the opening of the market and soon drove prices down from 3 to 5 cents. Other grains followed. Provisions were steady to lower. March whent opened down l%c at $1.72, losing 2%c later. May wheat was off %c at the opening of $1.67%, and lost I 3%e additional before the close. May corn opened down %c at 74%c and dropped another c later. July corn was off %c at the opening at 75%c, and lost an additional %o In later trading. May oats up %c at 49%c, the opening, lost %e later. July oats opened up %e at 48%c, but lost %c before the close. (By Thomson A McKlnno.) —Jan. 5 Wheat—The short covering in the grains, which was so much In evidence Monday, was lacking yesterday. Instead, there were sales on long property and reinstating of some short sales, especially in May wheat, Inspired by the quietness of the export demand and very little was heard of the milting Inquiry. The reverse was noticed; one large mill In Kansas closing down early, and the Minneapolis cash wheat reported as druggy. Considerable March whent was bought around $1.74 by eastern houses which steadied the market. The passage of the war finance bill made a quick advance as It was supposed that It would help export sales. Buenos Aires reported wheat fractionally lower In face of evidence of yesterday. The Southwest reported farmers selling wheat more freely. All these apparently lagging features, we Imagine, will cut little figure should export be resumed or the milling demand snow any snap. Corn —Everywhere the reverse of strong can be said about the corn situation. The position of this grain Is diametrically opposed to that of wheat. Liberal supplies. practically carrying charges and a poor demand are noted. Reports yesterday were that offerings from the country were the largest on the crop aud the probabilities were that we would have a steady, liberal movement of com for some time to come. A few industries were reported as resuming operations next week which is but natural with liberal supplies of cheap corn coming to them. As we look at the corn situation we can see nothing but the strength In wheat to warrant present prices and the least change In the wheat position, think, would give lower corn prices at once. Oat*—Oats were almost entirely abandoned. This market on account of supplies ulready In store, la inherently the weakest thing on the floor. We get no Inspiration as to any Immediate action In this market. The deliveries of lard are very liberal, CHICAGO CASH GRAIN. —Jan. IS—WHEAT— Open. High. Low. Close.
