Market Opens Weak Then Rebounds In Hazy Trading
York March 14 The stock market opened irregular with key issues like Baltimore and Great Northern Ore, Atchison and Canadian Pacific higher, Anaconda at 54, and island stocks lifting briefly. Gains faded as hour one ended and a rally began in parts of early losses. Short covering by large traders and cash buying by outside investors helped steady some prices, but the overall session stayed choppy with mixed moves and a broad market decline later as selling intensified. Government bonds held steady while other bonds fell.
