Recorded in Prices OF Stocks Yester-
day--National Lead Dividend
Cut Still Factor.

New York, July 23--The stock
market today reflected the distur-
bance of sentiment which awoke with
the cut in the National Lead dividend.
The significance of that action as a
symptom of general condition loses
force, but as manifestation OF
stock market strategy and financial
policy on the part Of powerful
groc4-, its ability TO cause uneasiness
still holds. That ability grows main
ly out of the position of the same
financial group in the copper indus
tries, whose efforts to form an agree
ment to curtail production and hold
up prices has been reported.
The adoption of a contrary policy
of cutting prices to level of sub
sistence only for the lost cost pro.
ducers of copper would entail con
sequences that are dreaded from a
speculative stand point. The ques
ton of dividendf maintenance was
made to apply to United States Steel
