NEW YORK. Feb 2s@The stock market
last week underwent a further violent re-

substantial rallies had followed Estimates
of the future continued very conflicting
both as to the shaping of the trade pros

lack Of previous knowledge of an unsatis-
factory condition so far as present demand
was concerned, but the necessity for vio-
lent cut in prices and a damaging scram-

lative sentiment. This shock seemed not
only felt by the general speculative public,
but by important interests in the trades
themselves and the character of the SELL
Ing of the stocks gave the impression of
substantial liquidation. This caused a be-
lief that the new conditions were by the
leading steel interests and that those in
terests had cherished a genuine hope that
the centralized control which has been
achieved in the steel industry would be
able to obviate the usual course of un-
settling price movements which have ac-
