NEW YORK, Jan. 9,—8tock Prices displayed a strong tone at the opening of today's market, buy- ing orders being distributed over a broad list.

United States Steel touched 124%. Foreign exchanges opened firm, demand sterling touching another new high above $4.78. The upward movement gained momentum as trading progréssed with bultish demonstrations confined chiefly to the industrials and special: tists. Stocks whose potential earn- ‘ngs loomed large on the business horizon or those tn which recapital: ization plans are believed to be pend. ing were most in demand. Chief interest in the rail group centered in the continued heavy ac- cumulation of Denver and Rio Grande Western, preferred, which climbed 4% points, the other ac tive issues showing only moderate gains. Buying of the general lst was stimulated by favorable trade reports and the ease in the money market was reflected in the sharp improvement in the local federal re- serve bank's ratio. Fidelity Phoenix Insurance in creased its gain to 6% points, Nash Motors to 6% and U, &, Realty to four and a half, while U. 8, Cast Iron Pipe, Fisher Body, Associated Dry Goods and Nattonal Lead were added to the list of stocks to show gains of 3 points or more, Call money renewed at 2% per cent.

Reports of enlarged shipments from Australia and Argentina failed to check the rise, being offset by in: dications of better European call for breadstuffs and improved domestic milling demand. Offerings were Ight until the market had ecored an all-around ad- vance of about 2 cents.
