NALL ST REPORTS

New York, Sept. 12.-Heavy trad ing in the oil shares featured the ir- regular opening of today's stock market. Southern Pacific and Du- pont each opened s-4 higher and Postum Cereal advanced to new 1924 high, but Houston Oil dropped q point and slight recessions also took place in some of the other oils and grangers.
 The market presented a spotty appearance in the early trading. Gains of to points in air re- duction. Norfolk & Western, Fed eral Mining & Smelting preferred, Moon Motors, Union Tank Car and American Hide & Leather preferred were offset by losses of to 2h points in United Fruit. American Ice, Baldwin. General Electric, Saw age Arms and Utah securities. Pivotal industrials yielded fraction ally from their initial highs. but Mexican Seaboard Oil touched a new top at 24 IA. Merchandising issues advanced moderately. Sell- ing of the oils apparently was based on the American Petroleum Instl- tute's report of an increase in crude production. Foreign ex- changes opened firm.
 While oil shares were in rather free supply as the result of a sharp reduction in gasoline prices by Standard oil of Indiana and ru- mors of further crude cuts, the gen. eral list shook off it's early hevi- ness and was pointing upward around noon. Talk of dividend in- auguration sent both Gimbel Broth CTS issues to new highs, the com- mon advancing 2 points, while Gen. eral Baking was marked up 41k on reports of its merger with other bakeries. Pool operations were again in evidence, Loose-Wiles Bis cult, Davison Chemical, Wells Far go, Moon Motors, Chicago Yellow Cab, Union Bag & Paper. Southern Pacific Rock Island and Lackwanna moving up to ? points and Kelly Springfield preferred sk. A drop of s points in Nash Motors was as- sociated with the recent liquida- ton of Lafayette Motors in which the Nash company suffered heavy loss. .Call money renewed at ? per cent.
 A better resistance to selling pres sure in the oils was manifest in the afternoon, when the low priced rail- roads and gas shares began to move forward rapidly. Atchison, Dela- ware & Hudson, Phila. & Reading Coal & Iron, General Electric, Fam ous Players, New York Dock, Marine preferred and American Internation- al corporation were also bid for on a rising scale.
