 Baltimore and ohio Was the Weak Spot
 in the Railways.
 New York, April 21.-Stocks opened firm and generally higher to-day on commission house buying. The sea- sonable weather and the weakness of the sterling exchange market, the re- suit of offerings of security and loan bills, were the principal factors at work. The advance, which was equal to A@1% per cent, was most pronounce ed in the grangers, the southwesterns, Wheeling and Lake Erie preferred and the Northern Pacifics The last named was taken on the general belief that the reorganization will be carried through successfully.
 The advance led to realizations all along the line, and Sugar suffered the greatest loss. The stock fell from 1269s to 124A and closed at 125, a net loss of 17s per cent. for the day. Cotton oil moved up to 577s at one time, but later dropped to 561@. It was stated semi officially that the dividend on the pre- ferred, which is due in June, will be paid. Rumors have been current that the company intended to either reduce or postpone division of profit. The rumor probably grew out of the resig- nation of certain prominent officials.
 In the railway list Baltimore and Ohio was the weak spot. The stock fell two points, to 16S. An issue of receiv- CTS certificates is generally expected. Estimates place the issue at one to five millions. and this has led to sales of stock by old time holders, In the clos
