lures of the stock market again today.
The undertone was pretty firm and is
stated advances in Specialties helped
the market sympathetically, but some
Of the SpecialtieS which performed
that function yesterday were inclined

auence in confusing the movement of
the market. The narrow fluctuations
Of prices, however. were above last

1t is evident that convictions on the
ultimate outcome are by no means
firmly held by spectators in stocks,
on the part of those at least who have
sufficient means to express their con-
victions in operations in stocks. Senti-
ment is decidedly mixed between those
who see current unfavorable news
sufficiently discounted in the present
decline in the market and who expect
the developments to be towards inn
proyement and those fear a contin-
uance of Shrinkage in trade and in
dustry. Owing to the importance at
tached to the iron and steel trades as
an index of general trade United
states Steel preferred, has a very in
fiuential sympathetic effect on the
whole market Its immobility today
in contrast to its recent advance COM
municated a tendency to the whole
market. Amalgamated Copper's I'M
