after all the borrowers had been accommo-
dated, 1t was offered down to 3 at the close
The stock market remained fairly steady
throughout the gre ater portion OF the day, with
q sagging tendency at times In the general iist.
The only feature of interest today was In sugar
Refineries. After a slight decline it advanced
to 59L, but closed at $50 Union Pacific and
Burlington also displayed same tone through

Other changes were entirely insignificant, and
the market closed fairly steady and dull but
generally at something under opening figures
Government bonds were dull and steady.
