ket declined. Prices have sagged on
during the two hours trading on drib-

In most of the active stocks. good
deal OF bearish talk Is heard on the
Steel stocks. and predictions are freely
made that the present quarter viii
show the poorest earnings that the

earnings for the month OF December.
OF course, show that at that rate, the
company was not earning the preferred
