STOCKS PICK UP
 IN THE AFTERNOON
Shorts Uneasy As Market De.
 Vel0pS Interest in Dealing

Wall Street-Many of the active stocks moved within narrow range in the early trading today. Bearish feeling was less evident in some shares which have been under pres sure recently, but in other quarters selling was renewed, and the general movement was irregular. Bethlehem Steel, selling ex-rights of 1 per cent was again depressed. U. S. Steel opened at a fractional gain but failed to maintain it's advantage. Heaviness appeared in the public utilities. The marines, St. Paul, Mexican Petroleum and distillers' securities were strong A block of $400,000 Liberty bonds sold at par.
 Attempts by bears to uncover weak spots and bring about renewal of general liquidation were responsible for a sharp break in prices. A num- Der of shares sold at the lowest on the current downward movement Evidences of an over-sold condition subsequently caused short covering, which pushed up prices 1 to points from the lowest. Steel rallied from 104 to 105 3-4. The bond market was easier. Liberty bonds sold at 999S to 100.
 The market developed more vitality in the afternoon and the shorts showed uneaSineSs. Motors were weak and some minor shares gained way readily but the inquiry was con- fident enough to raise the coppers, oils, shipping and several standard railroad stocks materially above yes- terday's final prices.
 Closing-Canadian Pacific and Del aware and Hudson broke to new low levels in the final hour. and other representative railroad shares were weak. This was largely offset by a break in call money. The closing was irregular. Liberty bonds sold at 9998 to 100. Sales approximated 675,O shares.
