LEHIGH VALLEY ADVANCES

NEW YORK May 1S.-A decline of 31a
points in Canadian Pacific was the fea-
tire at the opening of today's market.
International Harvester declined a point,
with further weakness in United States
Steel. Union Pacific, Reading and st.
Paul. These losses were partly offset by
the 1 point advance in Brooklyn Rapid
Transit and a fractional rise in Lehigh
Valley.
Wabash issues were extremely weak In
the first hour, with further declines in
American Can. Lehigh Valley rose
point, and there was some irresularity
and dullness elsewhere.
Decided Recovery About Noon.
Decided recovery from its reactionlry
trend of the first hour was shown by the
market with the approach of noon. Lehigh
Valley rose points, with l point ad-
vances for Reading, Union Pacific. Steel
and American Can. while some of the
less important issues also gained point
or Whereabouts.
Dealings took on more activity with
some semblance of genuine demand.
Early weakness In Wabash issues was
partly explained by poor earnings, the
same reason applying to st. Paul, which
has also been affected by the recent de-
cline in Chicago and Northwestern. A
further advance in copper metal here ana
abroad to the highest price Of the pres
ent movement was neutralized by de-
cline in exports of the metal from this
port. Texas company was up fve points.
Bonds were easy.
Activity Abates After Midday.
Activity abated after midday. but the
market retained a strong tone and only
slight recessions occurred when the ac-
tive buying stopped.

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE cotton mar
