WALL ST. REPORTS


 Now York Sept. S.-(Wall street opening)--A renewal of fast weeks selling movement was evident In a number of shares at the opening of today's stock market. Chandler de- clined a point to a new low at S4 l-2. carrying several other motor issues lower. General Electric drop ped 1-2 an dother pivotal indus trials, including U. s. Steel and American Can, were heavy. Railroad shares were firm, with Union Pacific and Lackawanna leading the ad- vance.
 Political uncertainty and the im- pairment of weekly margin accounts by last weeks drastic decline con- tributed to the further selling of stock in today's stock. market. Sub sequent short covering, prompted by indications that many issues had been oversold, brought about an ir- regular recovery. Sales approximated 00,000 shares.
 Lack of general selling pressure in the early dealings indicated an accumulation of weekend buying orders in the market This caused a resumption of short covering and promoted buying for long account in a few special issues. American Woolen advanced. If points to 53%, and Woolworth, Dupont, United Fruit, Famous Players, Pittsburgh & West Virginia and Utah securities moved a point high CT. Jewel Tea issues were strong. the common mounting 5-s and the preferred points to new high record. Substantial gains al- so' were recorded by General As pbalt, U. s. Cast Iron Pipe and In- ternational Harvester. Trading vas dull, due to the reluctance of trad CTS to extend commitments pending the outcome of the~Maine election. Foreign exchanges were steady
 Continued lack of effective buy ing support encouraged resump- tion of selling, giving the market a reactionary tone during the morn ing. Stock which had been bought by floor traders early in the session on the theory that rally was due was thrown back into the market later when several popular issues broke through their previous re- sistant levels. General Elec toppled AZ points. Coca Cola {, American Water Works 6 per cent pfd. 3, and Kresge Dept. Stores 2h, U. s. Steel common got down to 1o5 S-S new low on the current decline and Baldwin, American Can and American Smelling were among the popular industrials to drop a point or more. Rails were also heavy, Lackawanna dropping 2 5-S. Call money opened at ? per cent.
 Purchase of the oil shares, notably Marland. Houston, Cosden and the Mexican Seaboards which went up to points, after mid- day. promoted nasty covering in other issues, resulting in Baldwin, American Can and U. s. Steel re- bounding to beyond Saturdays clos ing figures. Davison Chemical, Colorado Fuel. |. S. Cast Iron Pipe. Gulf States Steel Utah securities and Interborough Rapid Transit also responded in marked fashion to an increased demand.
 The closing was irregular. 4 break Of points in Allied Chemi- cal was ignored in the late trading which was featured by a good de- mand for the oils, motors, sugars and public utilities
