 Prices moved within narrow limits al the opening Of today's stock market with the trend gen orally downward. St. Louis X, South western fell off q point on the in i'ial sale, while Baldwin displayed carly strength.
 Further selling pressure brought receSsions In the early trading, due to inability or unwillingness in some quarters 10 meet marginal re- qurcments and possibly some un- easincss over the Chinese situation and the outlook in Mexico.
