STOCK MARKET OPENED "oFF',

Railroads Led the Slump, Trading

Amalgamated Copper Held Well
st. Paul Received a Boost in the
Early Trading.

New York, Aug. 27-London prices for
American securities We're quoted lower
and the local market today opened sym
pathetically off, with losses Of 3s and Is
IN some cases. St. Paul, Atchison, Unic>l
Pacific, Canadian Pacific and Norfolk &
Western led the decline. Trading was
quiet In the specialties and Amalgamated
Copper was rather well held.
Additional slight declines were estab
lished before the selling was checked IA
the bidding up Of ST. Paul. That stoCy
was lifted from 1925 to 1884 in short
order, but while the demonstration
checked the decline there were no vigor-
Gus efforts made to rally other stocks.
Chesapeake & Ohio, Metropolitan Street
Railway, st. Louis Southwestern and
Kansas City Southern preferred showed
losses at one time Of point, which were.
partially regained At II o'clock prices
We're on the down grade again.
ST. Paul was utilized again in the sec
ond hour as lever to advance the mar
ket. Subsequently the spirited demand
for Reading and the favorable bank state
ment contributed to stiffen prices. ST.
Paul touched 154A and Reading rose over
a point The market generally rallied to
