Jan. 15.—Brisk rallying tendencies developed on the Stock Exchange around noon today after the list had b subjected to a severe bear attack through the morning dealings and leading issues recovered to around their previous closing levels. Large offerings of the principal trading stocks were thrown on the market around the start of the second hour of trading and substantial recessions were forced in pivotal shares like Montgomery Ward. Scars, Roebuck and other leading issues. Selling of these issues spread to other sections of the list. Buying Develops However, the early drive failed to bring out much liquidation in various sections and a sharp rebuying movement developed under the leadership of the public utility and amusement shares. Bearish professionals, who had hammered the market through the morning, gre.v discouraged at the resistance that was shown by leaders and quickly covered their short contracts. The improved tone around noon ■was also stimulated by announcement that early reports of Jesse Livermore forming a bear pool in Montgomery Ward were unfounded. Steel Recovers United States Steel recovered more than a point from its early low and other leaders came back proportionately. Impressive strength was also maintained in Union Carbide, the issue moving up several points to anew high on the current recovery. Electric Power and Light was an outstanding strong spot in the public utility shares and pronounced buoyancy was evident in Consolidated Gas and National Power and Light Loew’s, Inc., Warner Brothers and Pox Film A all participated in the improvement in the amusements. Unprecedented activity developed in Transcontinental Oil, the issue rising nearly a point on tremendous transactions. Gold Dust. Standard Brands and other recent leaders were active and firm.

WEAK FOREIGN CABLES FORCE WHEAT LOWER Corn and Oats Trail Major Grains Downward at Mid-Session. By United Press CHICAGO, Jan. 15.—Wheat sank heavily as the Board of Trade opened today, weak foreign cables being very depressing. Liverpool opened lower and dropped 1% to 1% cents on_ the bearish figures by Broomhall, who states that he has over-estimated the needs of England, and the easing at Buenos Aires where prices were unchanged to % cent lower just before noon. Corn and oats were off with wheat. At the opening wheat was % to 1% cents lower, corn was % to % cent lower and oats was unchanged to Vs cent lower. Proviisons were firm. Liverpool failed to follow the rise here Tuesday and w*as considerably lower this morning. Exports have been very disappointing and the time is growing shorter for the disposal of United States wheat before the Argentine crop enters competition. There is no weakening on the part of the bulls, but new buying incentive is needed. Corn has been less affected by wheat recently due to the small receipts and the unfavorable weather. Heavy snow is reported over the belt accompanied by much colder weather, while flood conditions are reported from part of Illinois and Indiana, further delaying the movement. Cash houses and commission traders have been giving oats more attention, buying on the recessions. The market rules dull, however, except on activity in the major gains.
