Wednesday's Closing Quotations

New York, Jan. 25.

A lower opening was witnessed on Wall Street today as spasmodic foreign selling continued, owing to nervousness regarding the Spanish conflict. Later, the market rallied feebly as liquidation and selling subsided somewhat and some careful investment buying was noted. Business news had a few bright spots here and there. Meanwhile, the market is still under the influence of European news, as traders anxiously await the outcome of the Spanish imbroglio and 1.65 Herr Hitler's speech to the Reichstag on Monday next. The turnover for the day totalled 900,000 shares.
