NEW YORK, Jan. 29.—An tm pressive demonstration of strength in railroad shares founded on the un usually good December earnings state ment, feature today’s session of the stock market. Industrials generally were reactionary during the early part of the session but rallied towards the close in sympathy with the broad: ening demand for the railroad shares. Meanwhile a sharp reaction took place in forelgn exchanges, and in French bonds several of which dropped to their lowest prices on record, Sales approximated 800,000 shares. | * NEW YORK, Jan. 29-——Buying of railroad shares imparted a firm tone to opening prices in today’s stock market, St. Paul preferred was push- ed up one point and Baltimore and Ohio advanced fractionally to 46%, a new high record for the year.

CHICAGO, Jan. 29.—Wheat prices showed firmness today in the early dealings, the market being upheld by reports that Germany had arranged for credits through private German firms and individuals having deposits in America and England, Commis- sions made buyers to a fair extent and there was no aggressive selling. The fact that world's shipments of wheat were smaller than had been Predicted was a handicap to bears. Opening prices which ranged from %c decline to %o advance with May $1,16% to $1.16% and July $1.11% to $1,11%, were followed by slight gains all around and then something of a reaction. Rains in parts of the southwest, together with the fact that for the first time in the United Stat visible supply exceeded last year’ total tended to ease the market later. The close, however, was steady at % off to %o gain, May 1.19% to 1.16% and July 1.11% to 1.11%.
