TOBACCO IN BIG ADVANCE
SOME RAILS UNDER PRESSURE

NEW YORK, June 25.-Fractional de-
clines in the active list were general at
the opening of today's stock market
The heaviness extended to the various
copper issues. The only exception to the
yielding tendency was American Snuff.
which rose over a point.
Aside from a twenty-five-point advance
IN one of the tobacco issues and a two
point decline In Wabash preferred, the
only noteworthy feature of the first hour
was its absolute stagnation.
Reading Is Conspicuous.
Records for dullness were eclipsed In
todays early market. Heaviness was
more general than yesterday. with
Reading again the most conspicuous
feature In the speculative group. st.
Paul, Union Pacific and Lehigh Valley
were under pressure. with increased
weakness in Wabash issues. Can was
the weakest OF the tndustrials. and
market was seen In the dropping
tendency Of the metal shares, which
spread to steel.
Politics and industrial unrest were
and conflicting crop reports served as
an additional factor Bonds were
steady.
Pressure Ceases at Midday.
Pressure ceased at midday and there
was a slow recovery. which reduced de-
clines in most instances to small frac-
tons. Norfolk and Western was in ex-
ceptional demand and improved point.
The same narrow fluctuations marked
the second hour OF the afternoon with
increasing dullness.
The market was rather easier during
the early afternoon. owing to weakness
at New Orleans and favorable interpreta-
ton Of the weekly weather reports. Prices
sold of within q point or two Of last
nights closing figures.
