marked by alternate rallies and declines,

acter, prices became moderately unsettled
soon after the opening on the setback in
motors, but hardened again on general
inquiry for steels except Sloss Sheffield
which lost 31a points on the passing of
the dividend Rails oils and shippings
also improved and Utah copper more than
recovered its early loss, Ohio gas mean
while extending its gain to SO.
This was offset by a break of Ga points
in Detroit Edison company. At midday
most gains were largely surrendered.
Bonds were irregular.
Rails were the strong features at the ir-
regular opening of today's markets, Read
ing and leading Pacifics rising a point or
more while some of the minor issues of
that division notably Pittsburg and West
Virginia common and preferred also made
striking gains. Other leaders. including
U. S. steel, Bethlehem steel, Republic iron
and Anaconda copper. were higher by half
point to full point with heavy tendency
in Utah copper, industrial alcohol and dis
tillers securities. The motor group was
again heavy to weak.
Changes in shipping were slight but
Ohio gas gained over four points.
