There were several periods when the ewemand was good, hut In one respect today's action w-as similar to yesterday's with distinct tendency toward dullness. When we turn our attention the merit of the situation and prospects for ultimate Improved changes we mast take Into consideration the present state of trade and particularly Its tendency and on this point we see no reason to change the opinion which we aser expressed during the last few weeks that we are on the road to recovery. It Is true that within the next sixty days numerous cooperate statements will be' published and these will necessarily show unsatisfactory venditions. But these statements must be considered in the light of what has already happened in the stock market and particularly the extent of Inst year’s decline which certainly went far to discount this factor. For Immediate future we anticipate irregularity snch as we have had during the last couple of days with a likelihood of fair recessions and the declines when the same should be met with buying orders.

Stock Market Review

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.—The Evening Sun financial review today says: “There were few important changes in today's short session of the stock market. “The steel group was fairly strong and Reading was again bid up, crossing 88 early in the. game. "Transactions in General Motors were heavy but the price was not much lulluenced thereby. “A good deal of the business done in the general list was in small lots of 100 shares or more. "offerings of ordinary active Issues were slow and In most cases.the floating supply of stocks was restricted. "Foreign exchanges were quoted close to yesterday's levels. “As the closing drew near new strength was infused into the list. Trading was somewhat more active. Bonds ruled close to the Friday quotations. Cotton was firm. “The grain market was under eousideraable pressure.''

GRAIN PRICES DROP SHARPLY Slump in Demand for Export Chief Factor. CHICAGO Jan. 15. Grain prices dropped sharply in trading on tha Chicago board of trade today to a slump in the demand for export. Trade was not large and there was little buying power. Provisions were also lower. March wheat opened off lc at $1.76% and dropped 3%c additional at the close. May wheat opened off %e at $1.60%, and closed 8c lower. May corn after opening off %c at 73%c, dropped 3c additional later. July corn opened up %c at 74%c aud dropped additional at the close. May oats opened down %e at 48%c and dropped 2%c additional later. July outs opened at 47%c, off %c and closed off 3c additional. (By Thomson A McKinnon) Jan. 15 — Wheat—A poor demand, together with evidence of increased offerings from the country, underly the present wheat situation. There has been fair amount of export business with Germany and Switzerland, but it is said to hove been done at a considerable reduction In premiums. If reduced prices prove to be a fact It Is significant as confirming the surface evidence of a loosening up by the producing section. Liquidation by the country is additionally confirmed by the appearance In this market of an Increase of money from country banks. The question of the amount of old wheat carried over by the food administration has been revived and there is nil ldon that there was fairly liberal holdings mt included in private estimates of amount available. We are riot able to uncover anything tangible on this sub ject. We submit it to you simply us a matter of current flk The future course of values depends upon the freedom of movement from the southwest as well ns upon the transferrcnce of European demand from North to South America. Evidence on these points ut the moment indicates lower prices. Corn—The heavy hedging load already resting upon the corn market, was further Increased today. Those hedging sal"* are, of course, agalnat actual ship meats from the country and purchases for deferred shipment. In view of the very poor domestic demand those sales are a distinct weight upon values. A private estimate of the number of animals on farms showing a considerable decrease Is very naturally construed as meaning a large reduction in farm use mid a consequently larger surplus for shipment to terminal markets. It will be necessary to broaden the outlet for the presen' accumulations, before the market will change Its downward course and there is, at the muinent, no tndi cation of such broadening. Oats —There was considerable llquldn tlon in the oats market as well as further selling by some of the larger cash interests. Till* ijjarket has the merit of approximating'’prewar prbi*", but demand derived from this source is not large Neither is there any in* provetneut In the demand from the east ern consuming trade. Provisions —Weakness in grains was the important thing in bog products today. Mnrket is acting well liquidated, but there Is no immediate motive lor entering market in an investment way.

L.
