THE STOCK MARKET

 Any assumption that such precautionary measures had been neglected have been met by the assertion that desire to force a receivershio for the company would be fair inference froa such state of affairs ly the state of affairs and the impression made by the knowledge of such atti- tnde on the part of the financial interest which has been accredited with greatest zeal and influence in the conservation of affairs was not pleasant This impression was offset by the means intended for the rinnan

 The effect in the stock market today however. was of slow growth and was not uninterrupted Depressing influences were
  ket and reiterated assertions that cut in prices of steel products was in contem. plation. United States Steel was affected by these reports and did not share largely in the recovery in prices. in spite of the re- newed assurances from the chairman of the board of corporation, issued in a public statement that no reductions in the prevail ing prices of steel are contemplated Some of the notable advances were due to special causes.
 In the New York local fractions there was evidehce of the forcing to cover Of a distressed short interest. The advance in Third Avenue which caused this was started by the relief of the company from part of the transfer obligations which have applied to 1t since it's incorporation into the general system of the city.
 The rise in Brooklyn Transit was attrib- uted to It's increased prospects for traf- fic by reason of the defeat of the Albany bill against race track gambling. Foreign exchange advanced sharply. part ly influenced by remittances in redemption of the matured Erie note issue. Sterling ex- change at Paris declined and gold contin- ued to go out to Paris from Londcn, in- creasing the likelihood of shipments rom New York to Paris in the triangular ope~ ration.
