of these the fluctuations were unimportsnt
The opening prices . rule were from H 10 -
lower than last nights closing, and, except in
sugar and Jersey Central, which developed
marked weakness immediately, the market

rising TO 9sx and Reading V 10 40z. These
two stocks were the only ones which failed 10
faIl below the opening prices in the succeeding
decline. Jersey Central dropped from lib 70
