The Offering of specifications by the
Pennsylvania Company for work on its
terminal project had an effect on the
United States Steel stocks. as this work
involves a large requirement for steel

preparation for the October dividend and

demptions and revenue deposit operations
are yielding handsome returns to the
money market, promising continued eN-
emption from strineency- Even time
money was called slightly easier, although
not quotably changed, and the Western
demand for currency seems TO be still de-
ferred.
The bond market was firm and the
United States Steel second IS were bought
