New York July 9 Stocks opened irregularly with moderate gains in some oils and motors offset by declines elsewhere. By midmorning a pronounced weakness set in with Mexican Petroleum down to 7.5, and Atlantic Gulf, General Asphalt, Harvester, American Sugar, and Sumatra Tobacco dropping 1 to 3 points.
