NEW YORK. Jan. 16-A rifce of
8 points In Peoples Gas and a break
in Radio Corporation resulting from
a bear attack featured t,he stock
market up to midday today. The
remainder of the list, moved ir
regularly after displaying strength
at the opening and in the early
trading.
Dealings were relatively active
when prices were advancing and for
a few minutes tickers were unable
to keep pace. On the selling, wliirh
followed the break in Radio, the
pace slackened and the tape easily
held up with the quantity of quo
tations.
Utilities Strong
Radio dropped to a new' low for
the year around 38. compared with
its previous close of 41’., General
Electric and Westinghou.se. both
large holders of Radio stock gained
sharply and held their gains' well.
There was no satisfactory explana
tion for the drive against. Radio.
The sharp rise in Peoples Gas was
not of significance as this stock
often goes through wild gyrations.
Utilities in general, however, pre
sented the best showing. Heavy
trading at higher prices was noted
in Consolidated Gas, United Gas
Improvement and Commonwealth
and Southern.
United States Steel held part of'
an early gain while strength de-j
veloped in American Can and some
of the special issues such as Na
tional Cash Register A, and Bur
roughs Adding Machine.
Sales Mount
Call money renewed at 4% per
cent and during the morning was
leading at % per cent concession
in the outside market. Around noon |
the official rate was reduced to 4
per cent, indicating that the strain
of midmonth settlements had been
passed.
In the early afternoon the list
steadied and was showing signs of
further rallying power with business
in fair volume. Sales to 10:30
amounted to 424.300. against 257.500
Wednesday and to 12 o'clock they
totaled 1.454.600 against 1,034,300
Wednesday.

Corn and Oats Rally With
Wheat on Opening of
Future Trade.
By United Press
CHICAGO. Jan. 16. Wheat
gained fractionally as the Board of
Trade opened today, the better
prices at Liverpool causing some
buying support. Liverpool reacted
this morning, after an irregular
opening it spurted and was 1% to
cents, shortly after mid-day. The
reaction was mostly from shorts
covering and did not indicate a bet
ter demand. Corn and oats were
up slightly with wheat.
At the opening wheat was Is to %
cent higher, com was up % to %
cent and oats was % cent higher.
Provisions were weak.
News in the wheat trade has been
distinctly discouraging to holders
and some moderate liquidation has
resulted. Foreigners are sitting back
and waiting, confident of getting
their supplies at their own prices
later on. The market has become
oversold easily of late and is subject
to sudden rallies.
Corn has assumed a bearish
aspect due mostly to the weakness
of wheat. The 52,000 bushels booked
from Kansas City Wednesday were
sought because the moderate arriv
als here were not sufficient for the
demand. Weather remains clear
and cold.
Oats is by turns active and dull
■with the price changes of little
significance.
