Speculation at the opening of the
Stock Exchange was weaker, owing to
the lower quotations from London and
the unfavorable statement of st. Paul
for the second week of March. Not
withstanding these influences and the
fact that the foreigners sold between
10000 and $4,000 shares of the inter-
national listed stocks, the bears made
comparatively little Roadway. Prices,
after a decline of Is to B per cent,
quickly rallied, with the Vanderbilts
again the great leaders of the market.
The persistent buying of these stocks
impaired fresh courage to the bulls
and they marked prices up all along
the line. Around midday there was
another setback, owing to a sudden
break in Tobacco from 1914 to rs on
heavy sales. AT about the same time
the coal stocks developed weakness
and Jersey Central and Reading ran
off about a point. The Gould stocks
were also heavy, and lost the early
improvement Even these declines
failed to discomfort the bulls, who had
the advantage of excellent support by
the Vanderbilts. Canada Southern
rose, rs; Lake Shore, Is; Nickel Plate
first pfd, 2; and Rock Island, IA per
cent. Tobacco rallied to Il and Sugar
rose from 1125s to ia. Fluctuations
in the Changers and Gould stocks were
comparatively slight.
Speculation closed firm for the Van
derbilts and Sugar and rather weak
for Jersey Central. Reading, st. Paul.
