NEW YORK, April 9.-MiXed price
movements characterized the opening
of todays stock market. Du Pont
opened a point higher. at 243. new
high record, but such recent favoriteS
as II. S. Steel common and American
Telephone yielded fractionally on
initial sales. Renewed buying of the
rubbers, based on expectations of
higher tire prices. gave that group
firm tone.
Buoyancy of the high-priced indus
trials revived speculative confidence
on the long side despite the renewal
of selling pressure against some of
the tobacco and food shares. The
mountaineering volume of March bank
clearings also was a bullish factor.
With the weekly mercantile reviews
expressing rather divergent views as
to current business and the immediate
outlook, operators for the rise cen.
tered their activities in shares of CON-
panies whose current earnings are
large and in which special dividend
distributions are likely.
