NEW YORK, May 21—Stock prices developed an irregular tone at the opening of today’s market, reflecting the play of opposing spec- ulative forces for control. Some of the oil shares, including the Standard issues, moved higher along with several copper stocks, Beth- ‘ehem led an advance in independent steel shares, Baldwin and Stude- baker yielded slightly to selling pressure, Buying of the coal carriers, in- cluding Delawade and Hudson, Chesapeake an@ Ohio, Norfolk and Western and Philadelphia and Read- ing Coal and Iron, stimulated an advance in the general market, which was accentuated by short covering in a number of industrials and specialties.
