CURB IRREGULAR
 IN OPENING TODAY

 and Mounts Once More

New York, Oct. LP}-Trading was resumed on the curb exchange at the beginning of the new week today in highly uncertain and con- fusing fashion. The market open- ed moderately higher, encountered heavy wave of profit taking on Saturdays sharp advances before midday, but by early afternoon was once more headed upward.
 Stock bought for support purpose late last week appeared to be un- der liquidation and traders were somewhat nervous over the possibl- ity of a sharp secondary reaction. Call money again renewed at 6 1-2 per cent and monetary conditions Were regarded as fairly satisfactory for the moment. Time money dis played somewhat easier under tone.
 High priced issues fuctuated wide ly. Aluminium company mounted more than 30 points while Tubize Artificial Silk lost almost as much. Deere jumped nearly 25 points, then reacted. Leading utilities fluctuatcd uncertainty, Electric Investors open ed firm, tumbled ' points, then re- bounded. Allied Power & Light moved up nearly , points then lost part of it's gain. Electric Bond &5 Share 1iuctuated over a rather mar row margin, but attracted fair sup port. Insull Utility Investment mounted several points, then react ed. Niagara Hudson was firm.
 The stock of Marine Midland cor poration, huge chain banking organ lzation, was admitted to trading on a when issued basis and was heavily traded between 70 and 73. It was of fered at 60. and as allotment con- firmations were mailed out over the weekend, profit taking was heavy.
 It is expected that the issue will be transferred to the "big board' after brief career on the curb.
 Oils were generally steady, Gulf selling a little higher during the cary hours of the session. Several in dustrials were under pressure, such issues as Crocker Wheeler and Com mercial Solvents sagging moderately.
 Investment trust and trading com pany issues generally moved uncer- tainly and in comparatively narrow margins.
