NEW YORK. August 1o.-There was a
good deal Of suppressed excitement at
the opening Of the Stock Exchange to-
day, and considera BILE relief was reported
by tho sprinkling of gains shown among
the predominance of losses. Declines were
not exceptionally violent IN any cases
and the selling was not on Il remni E"bly
large scale. The most notable gain was
jump of 21-2 in Canadian Pacific, and
Union Pacific rose 7-S. Among the losses
there were drops Of points in Norfolk
and Western and Virginia-Carolina
Chemical Supporting orders were
very evident. and there were quick
recoveries within the first few min
some leading stocks.
The reaction Of the first hour was soon
checked, but the market quieted
toward the end OF the early ses-
sion. Not all OF the early gains
we're lost, but trading lacked a dis
tinct tone. In the special group some
serious losses We're recorded before noon.
Brooklyn Union Gas declined 9l-Z points,
and Minneapolis and st. Louis 8 l-2, Con-
solidated Gas also was very weak. 1t Is
noteworthy that there was less talk OF
probable failures and other forms OF
financil embarrassment, but news OF the
passing of the Stock Exchange sheets
through the clearing house without unto
ward incident was received with relief.
Buying of new and impressive char
acter was reported after 10 O'clock, and
prices for many stocks were almost on a
level with the best of the morning. There
was keen denaa nd for small lots of high
grade stocks, and inquiry developed the
fact that bid and asked prices were often
to 10 points apart. The afternoons ad-
vance brought another period OF CON-
parative dullness. I'r.f IS held well to the
end. gains OF to 3-ls points being regis.
