STOCK MARKET


 New York, May 7.-Opening- Price changes at the outset of today's market operations reflected further irreguEarity and confusion due in part to London, where Americans were heavy. War specia1ties were not es- pecia1Iy prominent, except Bethlehem Steel, which rose six points to 154, one under it's record price. Reading g was the heaviest of the railroad shares although coppers, particular ly Amalgamated and Anaconda, re- acted sharply. United States Steel was barely steady while other promf- nent issues moved variably- The list steadied later and trading became dull.
 N6on.-The morning session was almost the dullest of any day for 8 fortnight. with a continuance of the uncertain undertone. Standard stocks denoted further selling, Reading, Un- ion Pacific and Coppers yielding to mild pressure Bethlehem Steel lost very small part of it's gain and other specialties of this class rose l to 2 points, with similar improve ment in motors and oils. Mexican Petroleum rising four points Lon- don's gloomy view of the war and conditions in the far east, were again deterrent factors. Bonds were lr- regular. 1 ,zzs.. -s ...- : s,;.-=s.s. =.:.
