Show I ; man nppitP ii nn i i j NEW YORK, Feb. 3 Stocks were 1 only moderately unsettled at the open-I open-I ing of today's session, although for-' for-' eign exchange threatened to assume more serious aspects as indicated by another break in the rate on London, i Apart from 1 to 2 point recessions in Crucible Steel, General Motors, Marino preferred, Royal Dutch, California Packing and Miami Copper, reactions were limited to fractions. Rails were steady at the outset but cased within i the first half hour, when selling pressure pres-sure extended to the general list, supplementing sup-plementing many initial declipes. Further collapse of foreign exchange anJ prospects of higher money rates, gave the shorts a free field for their i operations during the forenoon. Excepting Ex-cepting rails, in which declines were ! nominal, there was no Incentive to support the market. Weakness concentrated con-centrated in the high-priced shares, particularly General Motors, Crucible Steel, American Woolen, Endicott-i Endicott-i Johnson, Mexican Petroleum and mo tor specialties at extreme losses of 3 to 7 points. Low-priced oils also suf-I suf-I fered additional impairment and bonds, including Liberty issues, were lower. ; Call money opened at 14 per cent. Selling became active and broader I later, embracing the more substantial i stocks. An unusual theory advanced ii in connection with these offerings was j that stocks were being unloaded by jt foreign owners who found it more ad-i ad-i vanlageous to avail themselves of ex- change rates at this center. I CHICAGO GRAIN V CHICAGO. Fob. 3. Although sensational sensa-tional now breaks in sterling exchange induced some scattered selling of corn today, the corn market showed hut little lit-tle cisposition to give way in sympathy. sympa-thy. In this connection, bulls pointed out that exports of. corn have never reached a large aggregate. Another sustaining factor was the government report showing that the amount of livestock on farms in I ho United States was greatly in excess of estimates esti-mates heretofore current. Opening corn prices, which varied lrom unchanged un-changed figures to c lower, with May $1.35 to 1.35, and July $1.-32V.- to 1.32-Ti. were followed by ;. rally ral-ly r.H around to above yesterday's finish. fin-ish. pats held steady with corn. After opening VsC off to a shade advance, including May at 83 ftc, the market hardened a trifle. Weakness of exchange affected provisions pro-visions more than grain. Lard in particular par-ticular was somewhat depressed. CASH SALES. CHICAGO, Feb. 3.
