ORDERS
 NUMEROUS TODAY
Opening Wall Street Prices Very
 Confusing

New York, March 30.--Confusing price movements marked the re- sumption of stock trading today with selling orders predominating. U. s. Steel fell back to within faction of the years low price of 115 and copper shares continued to decline in reflection of the unfavorable trade situation. Several high priced spe- cialties, including T.. S. Cast Iron Pipe and Baldwin, moved up to 2h points.
 Selling pressure increased in in- tensity, forcing more than a dozen influential stocks to new low levels for the year. U. s. Cast Iron Pipe. which was pushed up 2k points to l7b at the opening, was singled out for attack and collapsed 10 points. U. s. Steel, selling at 114%, headed the list of 1925 low records, which included Standard Oil of New Jersey, American Smelling. Baldwin, Kenne- colt Copper Pullman, Baltimore & Ohio, Reading, Canadian Pacific and Rock Island. Among the many is- sues to sell to points below last weeks closing were Allied Chemical, American Can, American Smelling, National Biscuit and Delaware X, Hudson. Foreign exchanges opened steady, sterling advanced slightly to $4.77X.
 Reactionary tendencies prevailed throughout most of the morning ow. ing to the absence of effective week. end buying support, and to higher call money, U. S. Steel sagged to another new 1925 low at 114 1-2 in relatively light trading. Eastern coalers were in free supply the re- duction in anthracite prices, effec- tive this week, providing an excuse for the selling. Delaware, Lacka- wanna & Western was hammered down 5 points to a new years low at 125. Other weak spots included Iron Products, Remington Typewrit- er American Hide & Leather pre-
  ferred, United Fruit and Texas Gulf Sulphur, off to 1 points. A slight recovery set in around noon, U. S. Steel moving back to 115 and Bald win, American Can, Mack Truck and Texas Gulf Sulphur rallying u point or so from their low figures. Call money renewed at 1-9 per cent, the scarcity of supply ref1ect- ing the heavy month-end demand for funds.
 The persistent chipping away of prices without much in the way of actual news to explain the selling had discouraging effect on senti- ment and prices of many shares went to still lower levels in the early afternoon. Reading sold at 70, Baldwin at 10S 5-S, U. S. Steel at 113 5-S. New York Central at 114 and Canadian Pacific at 1862. Else where there were many declines es- tablished of one to three points.
