PRICE MOVEMENT
 LACKS UNIFORMITY
Much Pressure Against Steel
 Common and WOOlen

New York, Feb. IS (pl --- Price movements in today's stock marke, again lacked a uniform trend with opposing speculative forces still struggling for control Renewal O, selling pressure against |. s. Steel common, American Woolen ano some of the other standard indus trials brought about sufficient proft-takng in other quarters to cause cancellation Of all, or part Of some of the early advances, but bullish operations persisted in American Can, which was lifted 10 new record high price at BPS l.. and General Electric, which touch- ed 3S3 1-2.
 Buying activities prevailed at the opening of todays stock market, with the advance in prices intensi- iied by vigorous short covering in some of the high-priccd industrial shares. American Can mounted more than three points 10 a record high at S23 and initial gains of one to two points were scored by Amori. can Smelling, Coco Cola, Du Pont, Allied Chemical, Republic Steel and tobacco products.
 strength and activity of the lat ter revived rumors Of a capitaJ stock spItt-up, probably on an s to l basis, al tho next meeting Of directors. Weakness of the Pan- American issues reflected specula- tive uncasiness over the MeAica,. situation. Marine preferred was heavily sold on unofficial reports that the company had failed 10 earn it's depreciation charges last year. Selling of the rails centered on such issues as Atlantic Coast line, Lackawanna and Union Pacl. llc Among the interesting develop. monts Of the day was the estab. 'ishment of the highest rate in. three years by Japanese cXchang. at 46 S-S cents and the further weakness of French francs, which sagged 10 new low level for the year below $.60 cents.
 Bear operators attacked speciaI shares again but their selling did not interfere with constructive opera tons in other quarters. Devoe and Reynolds dropped from 50 to IA 10 45S4, the lowest figure since the break in the. shares began. Pan American B, American Locomotive Marine preferred, Fairbanks Morse, American Brake Shoe and Foundry and r. c. Shattuck lost 2 10 , points, Meantime General Electric was rush. ed up 1h 10 SS2la and Jordan, Pos tum Cereal, and California Packing rose 2ia to points. Call loans were unchanged at A per cent.
 The rapidity Of the rise in a few special issues suggested resump- tion Of pool operations at the ex- pense of short interests. At the same time the markets tone generally was benefited by active bidding for merchandising issues such as Sears Roehuck, Woolworth and Montgom- cry Ward, General Electric and l.. s. Cast Iron Pipe joined American Can at the head of the upward movement and were closely followed by other popular industrials, includ- ing Foundation Company, Savage Arms, Mathieson Alkali, Jordan and Brooklyn Edison, ill which the early advances ranged from ono 10 three points. Selling pressure, however, was renewed against Baldwin. Hud- son Motors and International Mer- cantile Marine preferred. Foreign exchanges were steady with demand sterling opening unchanged at $4.S6.
