Following a sharp decline in prices during the first half hour of trading 011 the stock exchange today, the stock market steadied under heavy short covering and in the afternoon sub stantial recoveries occurred. Many industrial issues regained more than half their losses of Wednesday some closed higher than the day before. Liberty bonds and Victory notes also gave a much better account of themselves, scoring the first success ful defense against selling pressure seen in several days. The fourth 4J4 and the Victory 434s were the strongest. The former had been pushed down more persistently than some of the other issues since the readjustment of prices to general interest rates began, which appeared to further the rebound when it once showed itself. Because of the short maturity of the Victory notes, investment men had been looking for the last day or two for a response on the part of buyers to the high return offered. The improvement of government bonds occurred, as in case of stocks, after a period of heavy trading and fresh declines. Large Short Interests. The atory of dealings in stocks was what one would expect on the hoels of so severe a slump as that of Wednesday. Persistent attack upon pricea had created a large short Interest among the profes sional trading element, of the sort which seeks to seize profits on day-to-day de velopments. ' When traders of this class set out to retire their short contracts, in the after noon, offerings were not extensive enough to meet the demand without sharp bid ding. Because of the prominent part played by covering operations, It was hnrd Iv possible to determine what underlying Influences were at work, although the street had nothing to support any thought that credit conditions had been changed for the better by the previous day's events. And It would be short sighted to lay stress upon the Wednesday decline in stocks than upon the abrupt reactions which occurred in cotton and commodities. The belief was expressed in many quarters that stork market liquidation had proceeded far dur ing the winter declines of prices while ef forts to reduce Inflation of commodities did not then go far enough. May Raise Question. The question may be raised whether or not the shock administered to grain, cotton and allied prices was not ths first development toward a reaction of considerable extent In these markets. To day, however, cotton recovered after a feverish opening and commodities were churned about without suffering extensive losses. Call money lent at 7 per cant throughout the borrowing period, but It was reported that late applicants for overnight aceommodatlon had to pay as high as 10 per cent for a moderate amount of loans. Th foreign exchanges were weak, ster ling In particular being affected by a heavy pressure of bills. At the closing price of 13.83 for cheks the decline of 3',e was recorded. Dealers reported that offerings of bills drawn sgainst merchan dise shipments had grown substantially during the last two days. Those are be lieved to have been swelled by sales of sterling for Japanese ncount, as balances are drawn here from London. The latest advlcea from Tokio from the best sources Indicate that the chaotlo conditions of last week are being corrected and there is no reason to believe at this time that Japanese imports of American goods will be severely curtailed In the near future.

Chicago Grain By CHARLES D. MICHAELS. Chicago, April 22. Liquidation was on in grains at the start, corn being Yiz to 6c lower at the opening and oats unchanged to IJic lower. Heavy margin calls Wednesday night was responsible for the sell ing and sentiment was decidedly bearish. At the low point corn showed 10 54 (gillie under the high of the previous day and oats were off S6Jtjc. The break brought in heavy cov ering by shorts, strong commission houses presumable acting for a leading New York trader who was credited with being the best seller recently buying corn heavily and ab sorbed the surplus in the market. A stampede of the bears followed, both grains getting well above the previous day's close. Fluctuations Rapid. Price fluctuations were extremely rapid, bulges and breaks of lc or more follow ing each other without apparent cause. At time quotations on the blackboards wore far away from the prices prevailing in the pits. Toward the last there was rather general covering by pit shorts, and the close was lo lower on May and kc higher on the distant deliveries of corn while oats were ftlVsO higher. Hay leading. Financial conditions were the dominat ing Influence in the market, the ordinary run of news being decidedly bullish, but It attracted little attention. Wet weather again prevailed over the corn belt, delay ing field work and frost was predicted as far south as Kansas. A break of 3tic in cash corn and 24c In oats was due to readjustment with futures, the hulk of trading the previous day being over before futures started downward. Omahan Heavy Seller. The cast was after cash corn and oat here, but shippers were not disposed to do business on account of the strike. An Omaha trader who was In Chicago waa a heavy seller of July and Septem ber corn and talked very bearish. Ger many was reported after corn at the sea board and was said to have the money In this country to pay for It. Export demand for rye continues very brisk, with Franco and Sweden in the market at the seaboard. Longs sold fu tures freely which more than offset tha persistent buying by houses with seaboard connections. At the close net losses w;re lo to ll4c. No. 2 on track was nom inally 40 to 4VsO over May. Barley in good demand and sold at un changed prices. A little export business was put through at Montreal. Spot rales were at 11.53.iU 1.63. Kxrpnrt sales of wheat at New Tork aggregated 1.000.000 bushels on the bails of 13.07, track New York. Offerings hur were, small with No. 1 hard 12.85 and No. 4 red 12.75.
