NEW TORK, Jan. 2S. flock registered general, but very irregular, recoveries today from their preceding declines. To what ex tent the covering of short contracts or In vestment buying figured in the Improvement was, at beat, a matter of debate or con jecture, but the Inquiry for investment is sues suggested a change in speculative senti ment. War shares, particuarly Crucible Steel. Lackawanna Pteel. Baldwin and American Locomotive, We&tinghouse and American Can led the rise. The rise In the munitions group was regarded as a logical result of the President's plea for home defense. Bethlehem Steel was dull, but strong, ad vancing 10 points to 470. and United States Steel, after some early uncertainty, rose o &4hk. but closed at S3i. unchanged. Petroleum shares, notably Mexican Petro Ileum. the motors, coppers and a few Tit the miscellaneous high-priced issues, contrib uted moderately to the forward movement, which halted in the early afternoon. Erie and Union Pacific were the consolcuous shares of the railway list, while Canadian Pacific. St. Paul, Reading and Northern Pa cific were decidedly firm at average ad jinees of a point. Prices underwent a sharp downward trend In the final hour, the decline being led by New Haven, which broke 3li to 6S. Total sales of stocks amounted to 635.000 shares. Bonds were mainly steady on narrow deal ings. Total sales, par vaine, were $4,210,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call. , CLOSING faTOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing 3 a ICS.

Operations would be under way already, but for the Independent attitude of the growers. Judcine; from what some Interests here say. They believe that some efforts have been made to test the position of severs in the. primary market, though without result so far. All of which em phasizes the position which the larse profits on last year's clip have s;i-en to growers. It is assorted that some growers would be Klad to borrow money from the Eastern wool houses, hut that they are not ready to Involve their clips. 'With growers themselves In an unusually ptronc position by reason of their profit, en tho last clip. Western banks are to slt natcd that they can give more than normal assistance to the wool owners. Thus these Western Intt-reets are doubly well entrenched to hold their wool for selling after shearing. Instead of contracting on the sheep's back. They fi?ely express themselves as being disinclined to the latter mode of distribu tion at this time. One reason is that they eem to have faith that Congress will put sorre duty on wool. Meanwhik-. the fart that Americans have resumed active buying In Australia Is In teresting, in view of the expectations re cently that some action on the embargo would Interfere with such operations when the markets in the commonwealth reopened. So far competition and tha consequent rise in values are the only obstacles which have been raised against Americans. Cablegrams to Boston Importers have shown the rise of values to exceed the prediction, from all sources. Some of these advices place the estimated clean landed cost on a verv hich basts. The operations of Americans earlier in the season are easily Justified by com parison witn tne levels now prevailing. 10 4-ounce. $2.25; 36 lo-ounce, $2.40; 12 10-ounce, S5c; bulk, white. 78c; blacks, 6c Nevada Copper.
