New York, March 25.-Wall Street.
Reading was the only issue of i'm
portance to show a loss at the opening
of to-day's market, all the other promi-
nent stocks, as we'll as numerous mac
tive ones, recording gains. These
ranged from mere fractions to a point
or more, Baltimore and Ohio and Louis
vile and Nashville as well as Third
Avenue, making greatest advances.
General Motors rose two points, but
specialties were less conspicuous than
heretofore. Prices were inclined to
ease by the end of the first half ex-
cept Bethlehem Steel, which rose a
point.
Trading fell away during the morn
ing. dealings in the first hour being
little more than half Of yesterday S
total of 100000 shares. Such irregu-
larity as the course of prices denoted
was ascribed mainly to recurrent for
cign selling of Union Pacific and Unit
ed States Steel. In the main, how
ever, the list was distinctly firm, some
of the international group, notably
Union Pacific, Southern Pacific and
Baltimore and Ohio, selling above yes
terday's high quotations. According
to report the professional element had
renewed its bearish activity, assuming
this position on the theory that the
market was entitled to a reaction on
technical grounds. Bonds were firm.
