New York Stock Marked.

Wall ST., New York, May 19-STOCKS-
An irregular tone characterized the open
ing of the stock market today. Trading
was active and the tendency of most of
the market leaders was toward lower
prices. United States Stel lost q; Union
Pacific "a, Atcihson and American Smell
ter - and Southern Pacific, General Elec-
trio l. Canadian Pacific gained IA and
Rock Island l.
Amalgamated Copper was marked up to
672zc, but when buying of Copper ceased
temporarily the rest of the list fell back
sharply. The upward movement was re-
sumed later by Reading, which crossed
100 for the first time in many weeks.
Union Pacific, United States Steel, St.
Paul and the Copper stocks were bought
heavily at advancing prices. Western
Union was unusually active and strong,
rising rs. Virginia-Carolina Chemical
lost l.
Trading in stocks was on smaller
scale and buoyant tone of the previous
three DAYS was missing. The market
showed the effect of a lessened demand
and some of the important stocks were
below yesterdays closing. Among these
were Union Pacific, United States Steel,
ST. Paul, Missouri Pacific, Erie, Amerl-
can Smelling and Pennsylvania. Some
minor specialties, including Iowa Central,
were brought forward and scored hand
some gains.
Bonds were firm.
The series of up and down movement
rather puzzled the professionals, the mar
ket holding hardly long enough In one d.
rection to assure profitable trading. Dur
ing the latter half Of the day the specula-
ton was dull and narrow.
