STOCK MARKET

D New York, May 1-Opening-Fur
Their success of the Allied forces end
the favorable quarterly statement of
the United States Steel Co. impaired
a strong tone to stocks at the open
ing of today's market. Steers first
offer consisted of 5000 shares at 95
"a to 96, an extreme gain of / 3-S
points. Bethlehem Steel, Superior
Steel, Republic Iron, American and
Baldwin Locomotives, American Car
American Can, Central Leather, Dis
tilleTS and Atlantic Gulf embraced the
other strong industrials and special
ties, but railroads made only slight
response
Noon----The usual realizing for
profit resulted from the first advance,
leaders yielding large fractions. Prices
steadied again on renewed buying of
United States Steel and other active
industrials and equipments, some OF
which increased their first gain. Off
setting features included Utah Cop
per, Industrial Alcohol, American To-
bacoo and Brooklyn Transit, which
were under pressure at average re-
cessons of a point. Trading became
quiet at noon when another moderate
reaction occurred. Liberty 8 LIS sold
at 1906 to 1910, the frsct As at $3.50
to 1918 and the second As at 1914 to
$685..
