ferred stock is permanently upon a divi.
dend.paying basis. The attempt to bring
about a lower range of values reduced the
volume of transactions somewhat, but did not
appear TO impair the underlying tendency OF tho
market. Not only was tho volume OF business
reduced, but tho transactions were not rs vol
distributed as they were during tho first two
days OF the week. The closing was stoady, and
final prices were about midway between the
highest and lowest of the day.
