MARKET GREATLY WEAKENED.
The continued decline in the price of

depression in Wall street, in view of the
fact that the stock pays dividends at the
rate Of per cent per annum.

lets, but no change was made
Thls in itself was regarded as bearish
on the stock, as the fact that a meeting
was held to consider the matter of prices
was construed as indicating unfayorable
trade conditions.
The decline In United States Steel issues
to the low price reached to-day was re-
garded as a financial disaster without
regard as to whether dividend is de-
clared in October or not. There are said
to be 5000 holders Of the common stock
alone, and many OF these holders have
suffered the loss Of more than half their
investment in the market value of the
stock.
If the average price of the stock Is
taken as 10, more than $1OO00o6UO has
been cut of the market value, and many
of the holders of the common stock are
not in position to sustain their share
of the loss without troubie.1
The weakness in the steel issues caused
declines in the entire market in the last
hour. but the volume Of sales while the
decline was in progress was not large.
In fact. the total sales of the day were
only 390O00 shares, of which 5000 shares
were of United States Steel common.
