NEW YORK. April 2l.-Stocks opened
firm and generally higher on commission
house buying. The more seasonable
weather and the weakness of the sterling
exchange market. the result of offerings
off security and loan bills, were the prin-
cipal factors at work. The advance,
which was equal to l-2a1 81 per cent,
was most pronounced in the Changers
the Southwesterns, Wheeling and Lake
Erie preferred. Northern Pacific was
taken on the general belief that the re-
organization will be carried through sue
cessfully.
The advance led to realizatlons all
along the line, and sugar suffered the
