STOCK MARKET

New York, March 25-Opening-
Recessions of two to four points ac-
companied the feverishly active open
ing of today's stock market, urgent
selling resulting from latest war ad
vices. Railroads, the various war
equipments, shippings, coppers and
oils also a score of specialties, shared
in the severe decline, much of which
suggested liquidation. Fractional
rallies occurred on moderate support
before the end of the first half hour.
Bonds, including French issues, were
heavy.
Noon-The selling wave expended
its force in the first hour, substantial
buying Of leaders effecting rallies of
1 to 2 points. BY noon the rebound
was further augmented, with full re-
coveries in United States Steel and
other active industrials, while invest
ment railroads notably Union acific,
Canadian Pacific and Atchison, show
ed actual gains of a point. Interna-
tional securities suffered in the early
setback, Anglo-French 5s and French
state and municipal issues losing from
half to a point. Liberty bonds were
heavy, the 31As selling at 98.10 to
1924, the first As at 1852 to $500,
and the second As at 1856 to 1894.
