 STOCK MARKET


 New York, July 7.-Opening.-Irr ular price changes at the opening Of today's stock market were mostly within very narrow limits, the princi- pal copper issues being fairly active at nominal gains and declines. Rails also manifested an uncertain trend, Union Pacific, New York Central and Erie recording fractional gains, with a slight setback for St.. Paul and Bal- timore and Ohio. Reading was un- changed but showed marked firmness later. U. S. Steel yield fraction but soon recovered, while the promi- nent munitions were again under pressure with the zinc issues and ma- rine preferred. Mexicans were in moderate demand but the movement elsewhere was variable.
 Noon: Encouraged at the lack of demand, traders made a series of drives against specialties, particularly war issues like Baldwin, Crucible and Industrial Alcohol, which made ex- treme losses of to points before midday. Greater heaviness was shown by the shipping issues, United Fruit losing points. Zinc shares made new low prices for the year, probably in consequence of another break in base metal in the London market. Rails and U. s. Steel with stood pressure but Mexican Petroleum yielded with other specialties. Bonds were steady.

New Haven, Conn.,. "A new dance is being insidiously in- troduced along Broadway by those very engaging young fellows who came from New Haven to New York for week ends-the Yale students. It is called the Pageant Walk.

 In . recent lecture at the Lampson Lyceum in New Haven Stage-manager Dennis Cleugh delivered himself. among other things. of the following dicta:
 'As to pace: Now. pace does not mean an aimless rush. nor does it mean a slow dawdle. There is one cardinal maxim about pace. Once started. keep going steadily till the right moment comes for you to stop, and then stop. Always remember to complete the action, whatever 1t is: there is nothing so ugly as an unflnish- cd action. and don't. for Heavens sake. ret frightened and self-ccnscious in the middle of large gesture"
