Show WEAKNESS IN WALLSTREET NEW YORK, March 20.-The cheerful tone of the London market helped the opening in the stock market here today, and prices generally advanced. But little support was forthcoming against an early drive, and the leading stocks weakened materially. Sales were particularly large in the Eastern trunk lines, and coalers and Union Pacific. Losses ran to a point or more In a score of well-known stocks, including Union Pacific. New York Central. Cen-tral. D. & H.. Norfolk & Western, Ontario On-tario & Western. Brooklyn Transit, People's Peo-ple's Oas, Tennessee Coal and General Electric. Consolidated Gas yielded two. Considerable buying for both accounts developed at the lower levels and the market rallied strongly. A Jump in Atchison Atchi-son to 90 helped the recovery in the Western West-ern stocks. C. C. C. & St. Louis advanced 3, and St. Paul preferred. Smelting preferred pre-ferred and the Steel Foundries stocks 1. New York Central recovered to $1.62.

V. P. and St. Paul sold off nearly a point in sympathy and other stocks were weak. Reading rose to 96 without stimulating the demand elsewhere. Federal Mining fell back five points from the top, but the preferred pre-ferred gained 1. Rumors of the proposed payment of accrued ac-crued dividends on Republic Steel preferred pre-ferred brought that stock Into prominence and carried up Tennessee Coal with It 3V, points.
