IN STOCK MARKET
Curious Mixture ol Gains and
Losses at Opening
New York. March 19. Opening
stock prices today revculcd a curious
mixture of gains and losses, with the
market falling to develop a definite
trend. Short covering was urgent In
a number of high priced stocks,
while liquidation was renewed in
other quarters. Tan-American "B
responded to the bringing in of a
large new well. U. 8. Cast Iron
Pipe, General Electric and Maxwell
"A" moved up 1 to 2Vi points.
Despite isolated points of depres
sion, marked by the establishment
of 1925 low records by several steel
and rail shares, the market generally
worked higher as buying for both
accounts expanded. U. S. Cast Iron
Pipe mounted 7 points and Nash
Motors, 4, while gains of 1 to 2
points were recorded by such Influ
ential stocks as U. S. Steel, American
Can, Baldwin, American Car &
Foundry, Sears Roebuek, Mack
Trucks and Utah Securities. Heavy
spots Included Cruclblo Steel, Amer
ican Smelting, Worthlngton Pump
and Northern Pacific, with the 8t
Paul Issues easing fractionally.
Foreign exchanges opened steady,
with Sterling unchanged at $4.78,
The early rally again failed to
hold. When bear traders discov
ered that speculators for the ad
vance were not following through on
the upswing, selling pressure was
renewed, many gains of 1 to 2
points being cancelled. U. S. Cast
Iron Pipe broke from 195 to 180, or
SO points below yesterday's high and
70 points below the record peak es
tablished last month. American Car
& Foundry slumped from 211 Vi to
205. St, Paul common and pre
ferred moved nearer the vanishing
point, establishing new low records
at 5 1-8 and 9 1-8 respectively.
Union Pacific dropped 2 points to
a new low for the year at 142, and
heaviness also was noted in Reading,
Lehigh Valley, Radio Corporation,
Gulf States Steel, Pullman and Fed
eral Light & Traction. Some of the
pivotal shares advanced briskly on
short covering around midday. Call
money renewed at 3H per cent.
Although the list reflected a con
tinuance of liquidation of some low
price industrial and dividend paying
railroads, the main trend was strong
ly upward in the early afternoon.
Stocks in which there was a protect
ing fhnrt interest moved up fast,
with The gains in some of the high
priced shares substantial. Norfolk &
Western went to a new record figure
at 131 'i. Nash Motors jumped 9,
