NEW YORK, May CO—At the opening pt the stock market today there was a continuation of the liquidation which fcrced the heavy declines In yesterday's cession and losses at the start ranged from fractions to over 4 points.

Baldwin Locomotive, bowpver, after yielding to 106%, rose to 108. After the opening decline the market i-howed substantial rallies. Steel common rose to above 91. Crucible Steel to 127, Mexican Petroleum to 166% and Studebaker to 62. Most of the Liberty loan bonds showed Improvement at the opening. Third 41s opened at 86.40, up 10, and second 4%a were 82.40, up 20. ' Fourth 4V4s were off .04 to 82.64, while Victory 3%s were off .02 to 94.90.

Trading was moderate and no selling pressure was apparent early. The fall of commodity prices, high banking rates and the disorganization of transportation were still the bear arguments on stocks. It was stated on the street that there has been considerable buying at present levels by men connected with the Investment department of ft number of New York banks. At the same time there was no organised resistance to the bear drive and- bankers were simply picking up these stocks as the market fell. Another drive on prices around noon carried down some of the list, taking Steel common below 90 again, but little stock appeared on this drive and the rebound was dven sharper than In the early morning.

Condition of the ground is ver.t favorable for coarse grain. Today’s Market Reviews (By Thomson & McKinnon’s Wire.) Stock Letter: “So far as underlying conditions are concerned there is no change except that the market has taken another step downward. We are entitled to a resting period, probably to some recovery. but we see nothing to warrant the expectation of a permanent Improvement.'' Cotton Letter: “Weather reports were better and news from dry goods centers reflect a rather doubtful situation, but there is no evidence of any particular weakness in the goods market. We must bear in mind that many contracts are nearly 4 cents premium over July and July is 3 cents premium over October and with the government report coming, which will probably show a low condition, the situation seems to favor the long side.” CHICAGO STOCKS. —May 20— (By Thomson & McKinnon's Wire.)
