New low for 1925. ______ Bh United Press NEW YORK, March 19.—Initial trading was moderately active with a general improvement noticeable over the previous closing transactions. Steel common opened off 1-8, but ,gained 11-2 on subsequent transactions up to 120 2-8. American Smelting wafe up 1 to 95, General Electric jumped 2 full points and 2,500 shares of Cast Iron Pipe were sold at 189, up 1, and on following transactions jumped to 190. Other issues like Baldwin, American Locomotive and New York Central ma'de fractional gains. Some hanger over liquidation was forced around noon, following a break in St. Paul issues to further lows. The common stock sold down to 6% and the preferred was at 9%. However, the selling wave started by this weakness was of brief duration. Baldwin, Steel and other Industrial leaders dropped back to their low levels of the move and Cast Iron Pipe took a tous plunge of over 15 points from its early high of 195%. This unsettlement was speedily checked by the appearance of*lmpressive buying and anany authorities expressed the belief that influential accumulation had begun in stocks which had passed from strong to weak hands during February and the early part of March. This viewpoint was borne out by the steadier tone displayed by the general list through the noon dealings. Local Bank Clearings Local bank clearini?* Thursday amounted to $2,309,000. Bank debits were $4,980,000.
