STOCK MARKET

New York, May 10.-Opening.-
United States Steel was again the
central feature at the opening of to-
days stock market, gaining IA
points to 100 1-2 in the first half hour.
Other equipments and prominent rail-
roads were higher by one to two
points, including Paciffcs, New York
Central and Norfolk & Western. Read
ing also advanced a substantial frac-
ton to it's highest level of the present
movement Sumatra Tobacco featured
the specialties with gain of 1-3
points. Shipping, sugars and related
specialties also denoted further alb
sorption.
Noon - The market hummed with
activity in the first hour. the turn
over approximating 100000 shares.
Movements were confusing, however,
on the extensive profit taking. United
States Steel continued to dominate the
list. but reacted almost two points
from its early high quotation at noon,
when other industrials also parted
with some of their gains. Railroads
retained much of their advantage,
Union Pacific showing notable
strength. Sumatra Tobacco made an
extreme gain of six points, subse-
quently losing half it's rise. The
market seemed to ignore the heavi-
ness of Liberty bonds. The Az IS sold
down steadily from 1910, the first
sale, to $3.50, the Sks sold at $3.50
to 1884, the first As at 1884 to 1894,
and the second As at 1884 to $3.50.
