Bv United Free. * NEW YOK*, Dec. 20 —Stocks developed substantial rallying tendencies toward noon today after the general list had shown losses of 1 to 5 points during the first hour of trading. Several leading Issues developed a temporarily oversold condition in the early trading while considerable buying of an investmen nature was attracted on the morning drive. Asa result, the greater part of the losses were recovered before noon and the market developed a greatly improved tone. The price movements continued to reflect the disposition of larger traders to take a definite position on either side of the market and changes were narrow. Fox Film A, which was forced down more than 5 points after the opening, recovered nearly half its loss and good comebacks were made in leaders like United States Steel, General Motors, General Electric and Radio Corporation.

In the Stock Market

(Bv Thomson <5: McKinnon) NEW YORK. Dec. 20.—Except lor the expected drop in the loan account there appears little if anything in the financial news of an encouraging nature. The extensive publicity attending the latest receivership. coupled with widespread reports that the pre-Christmas trade has not come up to expectations, have apparently had the effect of chilling the enthusiasm engendered by the White House conference last month. Admitting all the unfavorable factors that are well known, however, it is well to bear in mind that our ably managed corporations are completing a year which will show’ earnings a little below the best years in history. Surplus accounts are in such excellent condition and financial position so strong that even a severe business reaction can be withstood without impairing existing dividend policies. Investors will do well to carefully consider management, financial position and earnings recor before udertaking fresh commitments.

BEAR PRESSURE HOLDS WHEAT MARKETLOWER Corn and Oats Are Weak With Major Grain in Early Trading. Bu United Press CHICAGO, Dec. 20.—Wheat prices were off again this morning as the Board of Trade opsned. Renewed bear pressure met with little buying support. Liverpool was again weak and Buenos Aires opened lower and was *4 cent to % cent down just before noon. Corn and cats were affected by wheat, December com alone resisting pressure. At the opening wheat was % cent to % cent lower, corn was % cent lower to Vi, cent higher and oats was % cent higher to % cent lower. Provisions were weak. Liverpool was not as low as expected, but fell off quickly to 1% cents to m cents lower. Sentiment is mostly bearish, despite the decline to about the government leaning basis. Regardless of the short crops in Argentine and Australia, there is a feeling America has more than enough to offset this. The government report on condition and acreage of wheat and rye, due this afternoon, is expected to be bearish. Tie heavy snowfall and cold weather over the corn belt probably will delay the movement indefinitely, and this has given December com a strong tone, and supported the other months slightly. Only a week remains for deliveries, and the open interest is large. December oats was tight, for the same reason corn was, but scattered long liquidation and selling by the northwest prevented the market from advancing.
