STEEL CENTER
OF TROUBLES

NEW YORK June 16.-The unsettle-
ment in the stock market which started
yesterday proceeded to such length to-
day as to bring out forcible measures for
the protection of prices from the great
banking interests and others interested in
maintaining prices. United States Steel
was the center of the disturbance. Reports
from Paris seemed TO confirm the rumor
that Efforts to secure the admission Of
United States Steel TO the Paris bourse
had failed through the refusal of the gov
eminent official whose consent is neces-
sary. The disturbing effect Of this and the
acute weakness of United States Steel was
contested by powerful buying orders for
the stock, designed TO support the price,
and by renewed assurances of J. P. Nor
gan G. Co. Of their confidence that the plan
for introducing United States Steel 10 the
Paris bourse, while delayed and encounter
ing some opposition. would be carried out.
The effect was not confined TO United
States Steel stocks. the whole list show
ing sharp declines during the morning and
being subjected TO pronounced pressure of
liquidation. The professional bear organ
ization which came into prominence yes
terday was sctive again Large hquida-
tion was forced upon the market by the
mere fall in prices, which induced specula-
tive holders TO throw over stocks TO save
profits or TO limit the losses. The bears
continued to force the decline so long
as this condition continued The support
which checked the decline in itself put
stop TO much of the selling, and the scram-
bic of the bears TO cover aided materially
in the purpose of those seeking to pro
teot prices.
The expected message of President
Taft, which proved to have been quite
accurately outlined in the news, was dwelt
on by some of the sellers Of stocks as
possible opening for a renewed agitation
in congress on the whole subject Of coz
poration control sensitiveness on the sub
Jet of corporation pursuit has grown
keener with the widespread discussion
given the affairs of the American sugar
refining company in connection with its set
Element with the Pennsylvania sugar re-
fning company. There is some apprehen-
sion that this discussion and agitation may
prejudice the final settlement of the tariff
schedules.
a decline in copper in London and at
the New York metal exchange were inci-
dents Of the day that worked toward de-
preston of speculative sentiment. A good
effect was produced by the quick sale re-
ported by the purchasing bankers of $685.
O00, 900 Of st. Paul debenture bonds. A
spurt in Reading to above l.55 was a sus-
tanning factor in the late dealings, but
it was not announced until after the mar
ket had closed that the dividend on the
stock had been left unchanged. The &C
tivity of the market was much curtailed
at the partly restored prices OF the latter
part Of the day and the closing tone was
irregular.
Bonds were easy. Total sales (par
value), s4,es4, 600. United States bonds
were unchanged on call.
