Wall Street 10:30 a. m.—Trading at the dull and uneven opening of to- day’s market reflected conflicting developments of the week-end. Fur- ther improvement in the foreign sit- uation and a strengthening of federal bank reserves were offset by the de- ficit in the clearing house statement. There were nominal gains in some rails. There e signs of renewed pressure steels, equipments, oils, motors and kindred specialties. Noon.—Industrial shares rallied from their early setback, especially steels and equipments, but any ad- vantage in that quarter was forfeit- ed when the shorts uncovered fresh elements of weakness. The recent selling of the cheaper motors and oils made further progress. U. S. Steel was firm, probably in expectation of the quarterly statement to be after the close of tomorrow's session. Exchange on London was barely but call money opened at 8 per cent. compared with last week’s final of 9 per cent.

Two of the Iowa's coal burning boilers are bcing converted to burn oil so the ship may continue under way with no one aboard once her fires have been started burning and her engines placed in motion. It is expected that the unique prac- tice will give the gunpointers ot the Atlantic fleet an opportunity to test their abiliy under conditions as near- ly like those to be expected in battle as can be obtained. Smoke screens will be thrown around the Iowa dur- ing the runs and the course will be changed at will through the radio control system, necessitating a change in range on all the firing ships, ex- actly as would oocur in action.
