New York, June l0-The stock
market opened weak this morning as
result Of the Minnesota rate decis-
ion.
The entire list Of stock was affect
ed. Great Northern was off AZ
points and Others fen in sympathy
Later Great Northern was off three
points and St. Paul fell to 100 "a,
new low record for six years.
Missouri Pacific was off two points
and Union Pacific was off 2 SO.
There were heavy selling orders at
the opening but despite considerable
pressure on western railroads, o raj
lying tendency was manifested with
considerable buying for a rise by spec
ulators.
With the uncertainty Of the Mime
sofa decision removed, the street is
now looking forward to the crop sit
uation, which promises to yield as
great or greater returns than in 1912
The general business sentiment ap
pears improved Eastern railroad
stock was but slightly affected by the
western decline
The stock market was closed before
the decision Of the Minnesota case
was handed down by the supreme
court in Washington yesterday. The
effect upon the street was therefore
not as pronounced as it would have
been without a night for brokers and
financiers to study it and analyze its
bearings on the various stocks.
