excitement caused by the incidents in the

consequently reduced earnings for the

ton sales, causing a general decline in
quotations.
The weeks fall for favorite iron shares

press devotes considerable space to the
American iron situation, and its bear

prevails that danger is not immediate
Reports from the German iron centers
indicate a slowing up in new business, the
