14 STOCKS GAIN AFTER A CAUTIOUS OPENING Market Gains Momentum Under Lead of U. S. Steel and Active Equipments and Rails; Bethlehem Makes Overnight Jump NEW I'ORK. May 8. (Wall Street) —Opening; cautiously but mainly at high levels, to-day's market soon gathered momentum under lead of United States Steel and active equip ments and rails. Steel was again freely taken in large individual lots up to 116*8, an over-night gain of a point with almost two points for Bethlehem Steel new stock. Cana dian Pacific was the outstanding fea ture of the railway section, gaining two points, Delaware and Hudson sharing to the same extent. Ship pings, motors and a few other prom inent specialties averaged one point advances and Texas Company rose more than three points. The bullish outburst of the first ! half hour was speedily dissipated, , operations falling away to exceeding- j ly slender proportions for the bal- I ance of the forenoon. With the ex ception of United States tSeel which surrendered about half the gain re- j cessions were the rule, Canadian Pa- i citic losing almost all its advantage j and other important rails falling un- ; der yesterday's llnal quotations. It | required little pressure to effect a reaction in this group, industrials and specialties offering more resist- j ance, Hon dealings were restricted, j reflecting the further indifference of j investors.
