WEAKNESS AT THE OPENING

NEW YORK, May 6.-Acute weakness
was shown in the opening prices on the
stock exchange today. United States

90 at Saturdays close Declines of

Lehigh Valley in the early dealings, with
slightly less material losses throughout
the active list Aside from slight gains
in the Fries, the general tendency was
downward.
Further Recessions Noted.
Further recessons were recorded in the
first hour, the selling of United States
Steel being the most marked. That stock
declined to 3d.. which completely ohliter-
ated all it's April rise. and the same con-
dition applied with more or less force to
other standard shares. Reading, at 17oS4.
yielded the greater part of its recent SEN
sational advance, and numerous other is
sues We're off to 8 points from their
best of the past week.
The decline was orderly. and suggested
liquidation no less than bear pressure. Its
significance lay in the fact that stocks of
recognized merit were most affected.
Causes Enumerated.
Beginning of the formal hearing in the
governments suit against the United
States Steel Corporation and the strike
OF the western railroad freight handlers,
together with other occurrences, past and
impending, of an adverse character, were
among the factors which contributed
largely to the weakness OF To-Day early
stock market.
u s. Steel was apparently singled out
by the short interest and was steadily
offered down to 65%, loss of 3ss points
from Saturday. Union Pacinc, southern
Pacific and Canadian Pacific as well as
Amalgamated Copper and American Smei-
ter fell two points and many other issues
of less prominence declined over point
Majority Of Gains Lost.
The low level of the early trading re-
suited in a complete loss of a majority
of the gains made during the rise of the
past six weeks.
The selling. so far as surface indica-
tions pointed. appeared to be made up
in equal parts of bear pressure and
liquidation of long stock A feeble
rally in the second hour was followed
by renewed offerings of United States
Steel in blocks of thousands of shares
at further loss.
Some Improvement was noted in the
noon hour. Reading regaining its loss
and more besides. while Steel recovered
point from the low. Other market lead
ers were better. and the selling pressure
showed signs of relapsing generally.

settled when United States Steel fell

went under us early decline, while Read
