WALL STREET NOTES
Market Fails to Respond to
Record Steel Earnings.
LONDON PREFERS TO SELL
Reported Shrinkage of business for
Future Has Bearish Effect on shares
of Big COrporatiOn-Ameri Ice
Securities show Net Loss OF 1-2
POints-Great Northern and Ore on.

New York, July 3l.-The failure of the
market to respond 10 the record earnings
tipped by the Steel Corporation was a
matter of keen disappointment 10 traders
in the early part Of the session to-day.
Before leaving for their homes ycster-
day, many Of them had dispatched orders
to London for execution there as soon
rs possible in the morning and all of
these operators expected that London
would join with them in bidding up
prices. London would not see 1t that way.
1t preferred to sell Steel to Americans
who were bidding for it, and seemed well
pleased that orders from this side gave
the London market a greater power of
absorption than Is customary. The net
result was the transfer Of Steel stock from
New York to London spectators with
out advancing the price and the growth
Of a feeling of hostility toward the mar
ket here. There was a feeling that if the
market would show not the slightest ad-
vancing tendency on unexpectedly good
news, the short side was the side on
which TO make money
Undoubtedly buying Of the Steel shares
was discouraged by the reported shrink
age In new business even more than by
London's aloofness. \ decrease OF more
than > per cent in early June orders was
taken in some quarters as substantiating
the most pessimistic predictions of a re-
cession in the trade. on the other hand
it was argued that the extraordinary anG
unprecedented prosperity OF the trade W
TO the beginning of the current quarter
/ had we'll prepared the company for even
a very. severe stump in business.
There We're sold 795 shares Of American
/ Ice Securities at prices ranging between
80 and 81. and establishing new low rec
ords for the year The close was az
5O7s, glz points or for the day.
The sharp selling on Monday and Tues
day brought about no scarcity OF stocks
in the loan crowd. The fact lent sub
stance to reports Of distribution on the
part of those who were bull leaders last
week At various times during the day.
traders who tested the market by cover
ing large portions of their lines. reported
that they got their stocks back easily
enough.
There was a repetition Of bearish OPP
erations in the copper stocks. which nave
become familiar 10 operators in them.
There was brought about in the first
place d decline IN the London future
market for copper metal, and with this
as a text, there came out a profUsI0u
OF prophecies OF further declines in
copper metal prices here.
/ Declines Of 9s points in Great Northern,
az points in the subscription warrants,
and 25s points IN the ore certificates stood
out prominently IN the net losses OF the
day
The losses, combined with a loss of p.
points IN Northern Pacific, created the
/ impression Of a closing out Of speculative
accounts which were created two weeks
ago or the talk Of the Burlington deal

the American Ambassador in London.
As you know, considerable time has
elapsed since the state department
took this action, and no doubt, we
will hear something from the other
side very soon
