Average of forty bonds was 94.07. up .02. list United Press NEW YORK, Jan. 20.—Concerted selling which struck the stock market shortly after the opening today, forced United States Steel to a newlow on the movement and unsettled the entire list. Toward noon, however, the market appeared to be recovering. The rally was by no means spirited. Tickers indicated lack of interest with odd-lot stocks appearing and the tape standing still for minutes at a time. A few shares were strong and one group—the tobacco.**- showed good buying demand. The tobaccos advanced from fractions to 3 points, the best gain being Schulte preferred. United Stores issues, United Cigar and Lorillard were higher. Changing aspects of the heavy competition in retail sales of popularly priced cigarets were responsible for the activity in tobacco stocks. This morning it was announced that two retailers in Chicago had raised prices to 15 cents a package, following the lead of a local drug chain a week ago. National Bellas Hess issues were bid up, the common gaining nearly 3 points and the preferred 6 points. Montgomery Ward and Sears-Roe-buck were quiet. Utilities generally retreated in the early dealings, but in the early afternoon they were showing signs of recovery under the leadership of Consolidated Gas, United Gas Improvement anti Puolic Service of New Jersey. Communication issues were more than a point down, with the exception of Western Union, which gained nearly 5 points to 200. Warner Brothers Pictures led a rise in the amusements which was marred only by further weakness in Fox Film A Radio shares were quieter but Radio Corporation lost mode, than a point. Coppers drifted lower, while oils held about steady in light turn- | over. Leading industr.als like ; Johns Manvire, Amercan Can. Westinghouse Electric and Gilette i were easier.

GRAIN FUTURES UP ON STRONG CABUDEMAND Shorts Cover in Oversold Liverpool Market; Corn Rises. Bu T'r’trd Prrtg CHICAGO, Jan. 20—Wheat opened higher on the Board of Trade this morning under the influence of strong foreign cables and only a small increase in the cn passage stocks. Rumors of a better flour demand caused short covering in an oversold market at Liverpool and sent prices higher. Buenos Aires opened strong and was 1% cents higher just before noon. Cora and oats were higher with wheat. At the opening wheat was % to % cent higher, corn was up Vi to % cent and oats was % to % cent higher. Provisions opened firm. Liverpool was strong this morning, more so than had been expected. being 1 % to 1% cents higher shortly after noon. Sentiment is mixed at present, but the feeling is prices will have to reach a mark that will attract export demand. Farm board action had a sentimental effect, but broader steps are necessary. Open interest in May is large. Corn firmed up on the farm board's buying at outside markets. This will tend to stop shipments here. The traders, however, are expecting large receipts, especially from Illinois. The weather continues cold with considerable snow. Oats, as usual, followed the major grains, but showed fair strength of its own. Chicago Grain Table —Jan. 20— WHEAT— Prev. Open. High. Low. 12:00. Close.

Bu United Peri* SANTA BARBARA, Cal., Jan. 20. —Mrs. Katherine McCormick, wife of Stanley McCormick, youngest son of the late Cyrus McCormick of harvesting machine fame, was the technical viator in the long battle over guardianship of her mentally incompetent husband and administration of his $50,000,000 estate. Although a court ruling Friday retained Harold McCormick and Mrs. Emmons Bla na of Chicago, brother and sister of the multimillionaire, on the board of guardians, it directed removal of Dr. Edward J.

Dehy directed that two members be added to the board of guardians. Neither is to be a relative and one should be a physician and the other a layman of superior judgment, he specified. Mrs. McCormick had sought to have herself named guardian, but she expvessed satisfaction at the decision.
