New York, March 17-Speculation at the
opening of the stock exchange to-day was
weaker owing to the receipt of lower quo
tations from London and the unfavorable
statement of the St. Paul for the second
week of March. Notwithstanding these
influences and the fact that the foreign
ers sold between ten and twelve shares of
the internationally listed stocks, the bears
here made comparatively little Roadway.
The price, after a decline of u to q per
cent, quickly rallied with the Vanderbilts
again the leaders of the market. The per-
sistent buying of these stocks impaired
fresh courage to the bulls and they marked
prices up all along the line. Around mid
day there was another setback, owing to
a sudden break in Tobacco from 7SA to
76 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 ex-
cellent support to the Vanderbilt group.
Omaha was up to 60, and advance of 3A
points from the lowest of the morning.
Canada Southern rose rs; Lake Shore rs;
Northwest. IA; Nickel Plate first pre-
ferred 2, and second preferred IA per cent.
Tobacco rallied to n and Sugar rose from
1925 to ia. The fluctuations in the Grang-
ers and Gould stocks were comparatively
slight. Speculation closed firm for the
Vanderbilts and Sugar, and rather weak
for Jersey Central, Reading, st. Paul and
General Electric. Net changes show ad-
vances of 4 to per cent, Omaha leading.
Standard Rope and Irvine lost pa per cent.
Total sales were 1916 shares, including
$1,000 Sugar. 1850 Omaha, 1890 Missouri
Pacific, 1890 St Paul, and Il, 500 American
Tobacco The bond market was firm in
tone. Sales footed up S1,S11.0OO.
