WALL SZ. REPORTS

New York, Sept, 5.--selling or- ders predominated at the opening of today's market with the result that prices moved irregularly lower. Re- sessions, as a rule. were small, In- dependent strength was soon shown by number of issues, General Electric and Northern Pacific ad- vancing point each and stude- baker moving up 5-S.
 The failure or disinclination Of operators on the long side to follow up the early advance, encouraged resumption of bear selling by pro- fessional traders, which reached sui ficient proportions to turn the whole list reactionary again around the end of the first hour. Famous Play CTS was singled out for attack and hammered down AZ points to 74h, while G. s. Cast Iron Pipes, Gulf States Steel, Coca Cola, Mack Truck, U. S. Rubber, Congoleum and Chand- Ter dropped 1h to 2% points, the last named touching a new 1924 low at 3S 5-S on unfavorabie dividend rumors. The early gain in Baldwin, American Can. Dupont, American Sugar Refining and General Electric were converted into losses of a point or so. American Woolen broke fur ther 10 55&. Just before noon, spS- tied bidding developed for Lacka- l ulfirln 'hAunHaA points to l422, a record high, and started the general list moving again to higher levels.
 Call money opened at 2ia per cent. | Resumption of brisk demand for Nickel Plate" which rose 4 1-4 points to 120%, record breaking top, checked the decline and brought about general rally. General Elec- tric extended its gain to 2h points, American Ice to 1-4, and American Can, Baldwin, Dupont, Norfolk & Western and St. Louis Southwestern moved up a point or more. Lacka- wanna jumped 8 points and Stude- baker, duplicated its previous high at 40. The first sale of American Woolen common, the dividend on which was passed yesterday. was a block of $500 shares at 56 to ,57, as compared with a previous close of 5Sh: Foreign exchanges opened steady.
 | Pushing up of the oil shares to the extent of a point or two failed to intimidate the bears in attacking again the list in the early after noon, when the merchandise and chain store issues broke 2 to 3 points. General Electric sold 2% under yesterdays final figure while National Lead gave way 8 IA and General Baking A. Chandler got down to 37. .,>.. Stock prices again proved vulner- able to bear attacks in today's more active session of the market. Bear traders picked out one weak spot after another, causing sympathetic lecessions in other quarters. Oils and rails showed indication of inde. pendent strength. Sales approxim. ated 1,050.h00 shares. The closing was heavy. Buying support weakened again, in the fna hour with the result that 8 number , of popular industrials were forced down 3 to points,

 The bearish element in the stock market derived comfort from the unexpected suspension of the Amer ican Woolen Company's common di- vidend which strengthened their tac- tics at time when many traders were expecting an upward move
 
 and irregularity. Observers believe there might have been slight re- covery but for the sudden unfavor- able news, which carried down sev- eral issues in sympathy and might have been more far reaching in the absence of present optimism report ed by steel trade improvement and encouraging European and domestic business prospects.
