LEADERS IN THE MARKET
LOWER At THE OPENING
Irregular Course of Prices and Specu-
lative Sentiment on New
York Exchange.
Rally in Early Afternoon, U. S
Steel and Other Industrials
Move Forward.

NEW YORK. March o6.-Considera Die
divergence of speculative sentiment
was disclosed in the irregular course
of prices on the resumption of trading
today. Leaders like United States Steel.
Reading. American Smelling and
Marines were lower by fractions to a
point with offsetting advances in some
of the prominent equipments, special
ties and utilities. Conspicuous in the
latter group were Wilson Packing and
Ohio Gas at gains of a material fraC-
ton to over three points. Other strong
issues included Baldwin and American
Steels. Virginia Iron. American Can and
Central Leather. Rails were firm to
strong in the main.
Sharp and general declines. induced
largely by heavy professional selling,
caused substantial reactions soon after
the opening. Pressure was most marked
in the prominent issues, United States
Steel losing Is. with for Bethle-
hem Steel new stock, to 81 in ship
pings, and l to 212 in metals,
oils. motors and the more speculative
speciaIties Recessions in rails ranged
from point TO 2lc in st. Paul, the Pa
cities Reading. Norfolk and Western,
Chesapeake and Ohio and New Haven
Buying orders checked the setback in
the dull second hour, rallies in some in
stances wiping out much OF the early
loss
Bonds were irregular.
The rally made further progress in
the early afternoon. United States Steel
being absorbed in some blocks up to
11614 other induStrialS and equip
ments also moved forward on a mod
crate revival of activity.
