Pronounced strength developed in the corn market today owing to stormy weather and to surprising amall ness of receipts. The close was firm. lc to Mio net higher, with May $1.36tt to $1.3614 and July $1.34 to $1.34. Oats gained e to c. In provisions there was a setback ranging from 5c to 65c Corn prices jumped rapidly as soon as It was known that arrivals here amounted to only 60 cars, whereas at this season 600 would not have been abnormal in other years. Rain and snow made the outlook still more unpromising for a big move ment and gave a decided Impetus to buy ing. Besides, a large export business in oats, rye and barley appeared to be In progress, despite the low rate ot foreign exchange. Under these circumstance the upward swing of the market was but little hindered by a sharp break in hog values. Similar results followed announcement that the federal reserve board would take action against unnecessary loans-and that an Increased number of cars would be fur nished to railroads In the grain belt. Advances in the oats market were checked somewhat through profit taking on the part of recent heavy buyers. Immense receipts ot bogs weakened provisions. FINANCIAL New Tork, Jan. The significant fea ture of today'a stock market was the re action which set In a the publication ot the address of Governor Harding of the federal reserve board at Washington to leading bankers ot the country, advising1 reduction of "unessential loans." Liquidation was not disorderly In any Instance, but the rapidity with whleh lead ing shares fell 2 to 5 points and the spe cialties 3 to nearly 10, indicates that the market remains extremely sensitive to monetary conditions. It Is yet too early to forecast the effect ot the reserve board's recommendations, but conservative financial Interests are known to be In accord with the attitude of the central ank, especially" where stocks ot speculative character are con cerned. ! There was again a dearth of time money, but call money or demand loans which opened In free supply at 8 per cent, the lowest Initial quotation since the No vember setback, fell to 6 per cent later, despite the warnings conveyed In the news from Washington. Ralls were the only important shares to hold their ground while liquidation was under way. but shippings, steels, oils, motors, and their subsidiaries and high priced specialties, notably American Wool en, yielded easily. Some of these same lsiues were among the first to rally on the lower call rate of the lust hour. American Woolen being used in another drive against the shorts with several of the oils, sugars and miscellane ous issues, Including Endicott-Johnson. Sales amounted to 1.230,000 shares. Bonds were heavy In the main, although several investment rails and high grade industrials made material advances. Lib erty and international issues were irreg ular within contracted limits. Total sales (par valuel were $17,750,000. Old ITnlted States bonds were unchanged on call. Number of sales and range of prices of the leading storks: Amer. Beet Svibar 1,300 95 Amer.
