STOCK MARKET

New York, June 27-Opening: The |rise in specialties and war shares which accompanied yesterdays later dealings was resumed at the active opening of today's stock market. To- baccos, feathers, motors, oils. cop pers and issues of less definite char acter were most conspicuous at gains of large fractions to IF points. United States Steel was again in de- mand, although advancing only small fraction. Trading in railroads was negligible and utilities were rep resented by a point decline in Con- solidated Gas.
 Noon-The market reacted various cross currents during the busy fore- noon fractionalY in the first hour. This was followed by another upward movement, United States Steel fea- turing the advance on a very large turn over at gain of almost one point. Many minor equipments and unclassified stocks, together with low priced mining issues, were one to four points up. Meanwhile General Mo- tors and New Haven reacted two points each and Union Pacific and St. Paul fell back moderately with Ma rine preferred. Liberty 1-2s sold ht 99.56 to 99.64, the first As at 94.20 to 9480, the second As at 94.20 to 94.3O, and the IA at 98.30 to 96.40.

THE MEATH FIR

New Haven, June 27-For Bridgeport and vicinity: Fair to- night; Friday partly cloudy and warmer.
 Connecticut: Fair tonight and Friday; warmer Friday; moder- ate east to southeast winds.
 The storm which was central over North Carolina yesterday morning apparently has moved slowly out to sea. It is causing quite high northeriy winds on the Jersey and southern New Eng lond coasts. The western disturb ance now forms a long trough of low pressure extending from Texas northward to Minnesota. It is causing considerable cloudy and unsettled weather with local showers in the western districts. The temperature continues low in the eastern district, but is some what higher between the Rocky mountains and the Mississippi river.
 Conditions favor for this vicin- ity fair tonight followed by in- cresstng cloudiness and slowly rising temperature Friday.

BEDDING

Bedding, June 27-It is proposed, in accordance with a plan advanced by the State Board of Education, to hold in this town each week during the summer vacation period g. half day session of the public schools for advancement of Red Cross, Savings Stamps, childrens garden and such other var work as conditions may suggest. The town school commit tee are now canvassing the parents to ascertain if they will cooperate in the project by causing their children to attend. The attitude of the par ents in the matter will determine whether the plan will be carried out. Miss Jennie McDonald, teacher of the Ridge school, and Mrs. Lemuel San ford, teacher of vocal music, have volunteered their aid so that the directive service is already provided for. To provide for possible trans portation and other expenses the school committee has voted a condi- tional allowance of s6 per week. The Umpawaug and Center schools are included in the plan. Their regular term for the year closes the present week.
 Canvass.ng in the War Savings Stamps drive has been actively in progress this week with generally satisfactory results. The committes working on the east side of the town
