market was effective in dislodging some
speculative holdings in today's market,
but the watchful guardianship was ovi-
denced by the way in which influential
stocks were bid up to hold prices. Tho
Pacjncs and the United States Steel stocks
we're conspicuous examples. Some of the
less prominent stocks which have en-
joyed violent advances in the last few
days were forced back with proportional
violence in the days realizing. The cleo
trio stocks aud the high priced coal
crs were in this list.
The New York public utilities were also
markedly rcactionary.
