NEW YORK, May 9%.—Stock Prices pointed dotvnward in today’s extremely quiet. session. Uncer- tainty over the outcome of tax legis- lation continued to be held respon- sible for the restricted nature of trading. Good buying was noted at interyals in the railroad group. Sales approximated 600,000 shares. NEW YORK, May 9.—Irregular price changes took place at the opening of today’s stock market with no definite trend apparent in the first few minutes of trading. Most of the rails showed moderate strength. Ojls were again heavy. Mack Truck dropped a point. Bald- win and American Can improved fractionally, Prices steadied in the later trad- ing with good buying developing in the railroad group. Norfolk and Western advanced 1% and New Orleans, Texas and Mexico %. Baldwin cancelled its early gain and May Department Stores dropped 1% Sinclair eased 4 and then rallied %. Steels held frm. Foreign exchanges opened steady, demand sterling be- ing quoted at $4.35% and French francs around 5.88 cents. Prices pointed upward during the first hour with Woolworth old stock soaring s:x po!nts, Sinclair preferred three and Philadelphia and Reading coal two. The market's dullness, however, encouraged a resumption of short selling, which gave the market a reactionary appearance around noon, United States Cast Tron Pipe was hammered down nearly four points and special pres. sure was applied against Baldwin, Bethlehem Steel, Studebaker, Stan- dard O!l of California, and Central Leather preferred, which fell one to twe points. Brokers reported that profesional traders were restricting their commitments owing to the uncertainty regarding the outcome of pending tax legislation. Cali money opened at 3% per cent. Selling subsided in the early after. noon, the market snapping back briskly in spots when the shorts at- tempted to cover outstanding com- mitments at the lower levels. United States Cast Iron Pipe rallied two points and a good inquiry arose alse for Famous Players, International Harvester, Congoleum and Pro- ducers and Refiners. Yellow Cab Manufacturing,-however, was forced down 2% to 48%, close to the year's minimum. The closing was irregular. Weak- ness of the Yellow Cab issu which broke to new 1924 lows, unsettled the general list in the late trading. —.——. Flour MINNEAPOLIS, May 9.—Flour unchanged, Bran $18.50@§$20.00.
