Resump tion of trading on the stock exchange after the double holiday was marked, by a. number of severe declines and a few advances. The early reaction was chiefly attributed to last week's unfavorable showing of local federal bajik reserves, which fell to a low record, and renewed weakness of for eign exchange. "Within the lirst half hour losses' of 2 to S points were ma-do by G-eneral Motors, Crucible Steel, Republic Iron, Baldwin Loco, American Woolen and Royal Dutch. Passage of the railroad bill by tha i senate inrused moderate strength ro the railway list. Canadian Pacific, however, lost two points. Wall Street, Noon. Supplemental losses of 2 to 6 points during the unsettled morning embraced U. S. Steel, Bethlehem Steel, Mexican and Pan-American Petroleums, American Loco., Studebaker, Pierce Arrow and Chandler Motors, U. S. Rubber, Endi-cott-Johnson Retail Stores and Am- cot1 eric bet1 but can Internationals. Rails of the better class were 1 to 2 points lower minor shares were .higher in cluding Rock Island. New Haven. Ir regular rallies followed publication of the favorable export trade figures for January. "These were cancelled be fore noon, however. General Motors and Crucible Steel leading another re versal. Call, money opened at 6 per cent. Wall Street, 1:30 p. m. Pressure eased for a time at mid-day but new spots of weakness w-ere uncovered in coppers, equipments and motor spe cialties. Low grade rails meanwhile continued to move forward, grangers and coalers making: further gains un der lead of St. Paul common and pre ferred, and Baltimore & Ohio. Wall Street, Close. Leaders, espe cially motors, oils and steels, fell to the day's lowest prices in the final hour, shorts meeting with little oppo sition in their further attacks. The close was weak.
