'Strongest Bank in Castern Oregon Stix-k Market rtoooi'ers In Kurly Half of Day. NEW YORK. Dec (A. P.) The stock market made partial recovery In the first half of Wednesday's session from the sweeping reaction of the pre vious day. but the uncertain trend lat er suggested that involuntary liquida tion waa still a factor to be reckoned will). Announcement of the failure of a prominent brokerage house actively identified with the expansion of the metal Industry occasioned surprise, the firm's difficulties, primarily as cribed to the calling of loans on depre ciated collateral. Other firms and In dividuals were reported to, be experi encing considerable embarrassment In meeting the demands of their banks. but the general financial situation, in its relation to stock exchange loads, was declared to be eminently sound. 4 Dealings fell away somewhat from yesterday's high record, but the num ber of Individual shares traded in was almost as large, embracing a variety of investment Issues, many of which were probably liquidated to establish year end losses. Shorts were driven to cover just he fore the close by a vigorous rebound In several of the leaders, notably Mexi can Petroleum, Reading and U. B. Steel .related issues also relieving much of their loss of the mid-session. Net losses of 3 1-2 to 6 points were made by Texas Pacific Coal and Iron, U. S. Rubber and Renlogle Steel, the latter at no time making more than a feeble rally from yesterday's spec tacular descent Sales 1,400,000 shares. Money and foreign exchange were steady but exerted no appreciable ef feet on the stock market. Bonds were again affected by the strain on stocks, many domestic and foreign Issues re acting, although some of the liberty group improved. Total sales, par val ue, $27,500,000. Old U.

Corn lost 7-8 to 1 1-2 and oats 5-8 to 1 1-4, In provisions the outcome was unchang ed to 17c higher. Lack of confidence In the buying side of the wheat market was largely associated w'th the disturbance of se curity values in Wall street and par ticularly with the fullure of a New York brokerage house. Depression in the cotton market was also an evident bearish factor as to wheat and so like wise was the absence of any big ex port buying. Various rallies seemed due mainly to shorts covering, and to be of a transient character. Some selling of wheat to go Into store here waa reported and there wore deliver ies today of 115,000 bushels of Do. cember contracts. Oats sagged with corn. Higher quotations on hogs gave con. slderable firmness to provisions. Xo Arrivals nt Seattle; Cattle Weak. Hogs Stcnilv. SEATTLE, Dec. 23. Hogs Re celpts none. Steady.
