STEEL COMMON DROPS.
Loses Nearly -Four Points in FIT
teen Minutes of Trading.

United States Steel common. which has bas,
making new high records almost every dav for
weeks, experienced a sharp reaction yesterday
breaking from S41s, which it had advanced from
the opening price of 9312 S0Iz. This drop Of
nearly four points took place within fifteen min
utes, the stock falling much as one and two
points between sales, which were in large volume.
After touching So1a. the stock rallied over two
points on good buying. helped by a good deal of
covering by the trading element on the floor In
the late afternoon, however, there was another
heavy selling movement. which carried the price
down 10 80. a loss Of more than four points from
the high figure Of the day. At this low figure the
stock again met with support. bur only succeeded
in recovering fraction The close being at s0Is a
net loss Of So points for the day
Brokers said that the stock had been honey
combed with stop loss orders. and that the sharp
ness Of the decline was helped by a large number
OF these orders being reached. The lack Of sup
port, however in the face Of the heaving selling
orders was chiefly responsible for the weakness of
the stock.
There was report yesterday that happenings
Of farreaching Importance to stockholders Of the
United States Steel Corporation were impending
but the nature % these was not revealed. In au-
thoritative quarters il was said that nothing was
known Of anything out Of the ordinary being about
10 take place It is common gossip that there will
be an increase IN the dividend rate on the com
mon stock al the next meeting of the directors,
the only difference Of opinion the subject ap-
pearng TO be over the amount Of the increase.
Some hold that the stock VIII be placed on a 4
per cent yearly basis. while others contend that
the rate VIII ne least per cent.
a report that Steel preferred stock 10 be re-
tired by exchanging il for per cent bonds was
authoriJatively denied, a rumor that a big
security issue was pending IN which stockholders
would have valuable rights
