Liquidity of speculating shares eases at open
The Associated Press reports a midmorning stock market opening with broad absorption of offers. General Motors rose more than ten points from yesterday's decline, while United States Steel and several high grade oils and shippings showed renewed weakness and many gains were erased. Liberty bonds remained weak. About 1,000,000 shares traded by noon and 1,800,000 by close. A separate Chicago note says corn prices broke sharply at the open, especially May delivery, before bids and a late rally.
