ANOTHER EXTREME-SESSION

Taking by Reason of Irregularity of

I N
Hy Associated Prv.se.
New York, April 15.— Karly deal
ings in the stock market to-Uay point
ed to another session of extreme activ
ity. Initial prices suggested further
\ profit taking by reason of the irregu-
I lurity of the movement. Bethlehem
, Steel opened with a lot of 500 shares
| nt 135 to 13t>, a minimum overnight
rise of 3 points, liains ot' 2to 5 points
were registered by various industrial
and equipmc'it issues, while some of
the «ore important railway shares like
Union Pacific, New York Cent'ul, Atch
ison and Bt. Paul were fractionally
lower. Local tractions added nuvte
riallv to recent advances on \ei v large
offerings.
Trading lost none of feverish ac
tivity during the morning session, the
overturn of the lirst two hours approxi
mating yesterday's enormous total.
Business wa.i on the broadest scale thus
far witnessed, taking in many issues
not heretofore quoted. There was a
confusion of gains and losses, and lead
ing stoisks continued to evince further
irregularity. Heading's course being es
pecially erratic. London and other
foreign centers were sellers here to a

principally tiadtng interests, renewed
their operations on the short side.
