 The change over last nights New York close, shown at 12:3O, included Reading, down 72s points; Southern Pacific, off Az; Union Pacific, off 5z; Central Preferred, of 4%; Atchi- son, off SIS; St. Paul, off 6: Erie, First Preferred, Az; Louisville & Nashville, off 4 A.
 The big industrials also suffered. Apparently realizing that the rate de- cision meant that there would be an abandonment of all contemplated im- provements, Steel was under pres sure. Steel Common fell off four points while the preferred was off one dustrialS suffered in proportion.
 By o'clock there was some sup port manifested in a number of stocks although Reading, Harriman's issues and St. Paul were going right and left. At that time St. Paul was off points; Union Pacific, 5; Penn sylvania % and Central Common, I2A. There was a tendency to wait for the New York opening and it was generally felt that the worst was over on this side and that an improvement was imminent
 Following the news from New York that there was bullish sentiment there the market in Americans show ed a better tone here. The close was at the best level of the day.
 New York, Feb. 24.-(Opening.)- )- The trading at the opening of the stock market, today, showed the eff feet of yesterdays rate decisions. There was practically no demand at around yesterdays range and first sales showed losses all the way from one to more than six points. Read ing sold from 152H to 154 against 159 E at the close, yesterday. Steel opened at 76N, Lehigh Valley lost 5k; Union Pacific off Az; Southern Pacific the same, Missouri Pacific 4 Il and losses of over four points were recorded in Northern Pacific, Wa bash Preferred, ,Atchison and St. Paul.
 II a. m.-The market developed a strong tone after the opening. Ap- parently the avalanche of selling or ders cabled to London, last night, had removed this pressure from this side. Steel Common recovered over a point and other stocks shared in an upward tendency, recovering from one to more than two points from the low level.
 Government bonds unchanged; oth- CT bonds irregular.
 Noon.-The recoveries noted late in the forenoon were fairly we'll main tained all through the rest of that period.

admissions. The average price was $3.50
