STOCK MARKET

New York, March .-Opening.-Al- though gains were in excess of losses at the outset of today's trading, the market failed to manifest any very definite trend. Dealings were light and changes either way were mostly fractional Specialties, including the munitions and motors, were under moderate pressure with minor reces- sions in some of the standard rails. U. Steel, which led yesterdays rail rally, eased off after making slight Later the sagging ten dency became more marked, most inn portant stocks falling under yester- days final quotations.
 C1ose-Du11ness and indecision were the ichiefl characteristics of today's short session of the stock exchange, the market remaining the restrains ini- posed by the complicated situation at of actual significance. The closing was irregular. Bonds were dull.
