PRESSURE ON U. S. STEEL
TONE OF MARKET Is HEAVY

NEW YORK, December 22.-Factional
declines were the rule at the opening of
the stock market today. The pressure on
United States Steel was especially pro-
nounced, several blocks of a thousand or
more shares coming out at loss OF Sal
point. Similar losses were registered by
Pennsylvania, Reading, National Lead
and Interborough-Metro preferred.
Slight gains were made by Lehigh Valley
and Wabash preferred, but the tone of
The market was distinctly heavy.
The market turned weak. Western rail-
road stocks were sold on apprehension
with the locomotive engineers and reaiiz-
Ing in the coalers helped along the
downward trend.
Traders Sell the Market.
Traders sold the market during the
morning session, and bear rumors were
prevalent. Conditions in the steel and
copper trades We're largely responsible
for the heav!ness of those issues. Read
ing was offered down, presumably on the
failure of the directors to increase the
dividend. but Lehigh Valley, following
its dip of the first hour, recovered to a
fraction above yesterdays close. Selling
stopped rather ABRUPTLY after some addi-
tional large declines had been made, and
the market became intensely dull with q
slight upward tendency. Bonds were
steady.
Business during the noon hour fell off
10 insignificant proportions, prices holding
barely firm. There was less pressure
upon United States Steel and some further
covering by the short interest, but trad
ing was otherwise featureiess
The character of the market was dem
onStrated by the fact that transactions
during the afternoon had been at the
rate OF about 1900 shares an hour, a total
frequently exceeded few minutes
trading in an active market. The tone
was ostensibly frmer. although there was
belated decline of point in Atchison.
