There were-.large purchases of stocks
at the opening today at fractional ad
vanced over last night's closing; Sec
ondary ptices showed fractional reces
sions from .the opening. ,
The markeiff fluctuated irregularly,
prices advancing a good fraction at
times despite liberal offerings, which 1
a rise brought out. . By the end of 'An
hour the market was rising again,
The market was unable to withstand
the volume of sales and prices broke
sharply. More than a Hozen principal
stocks went down a point from yester
day's closing. '
Speculative hesitation was marked
by uncertain price fluctuations, due to
a doubtful money .outlook. Prices in
the second hour lost most of their
gains of the first . Bonds were firm.
ower prices were ..niade after a j
pause in selling. Subsequent recovet-y
had only amounted to small fraction. I
