j. s. STEEL SENT
DOWN BY RAID;
LARGE SELLING
Big Blocks, Running Up to
5000 Shares, Change
Hands.

NEW YORK. Sept, 2t,-Further
heavy selling of L. $. Steel character
lied the opening of the market today.
u. s. Steel preferred dropped Ala points
to 1864 and the common ia to 62As,
both new low records for the year.
Several other industrials also declined
rapidly. including General Electric and
Pressed Steel Car preferred, each of
which LOST n point. Utah Copper ad-
vanced a point,
II a. m.-Speculation in the United
States Steel stocks was rapidly ap-
preaching panicky conditions when
huge supporting orders were hurried
into the market TO check the headlong
break.
N~oon-rrading in the steel stocks
dominated the market. The increase
OF the discount rate for the Bank OF
England and other factors which ordl-
narily would be accounted of influence
IN securities attracted no attention.
l p. m.-The whole list tended lower
during the noon hour. Chairman
Gary's noncommittal statement con
corning the affairs of the United States
Steel Corporation was followed by an
other downward movement in those
stocks. The preferred fell to 1914 and
the common TO 5sss, losses of 61a and
5ts respectively. The rest of the mar
ket, including the standard railway
shares, gave way under the onslaught
upon steel. Union Pacific sold at a
new low record for the year, and losses
elsewhere in the railway group ex-
tended from ! to ? points. There was
q smart rally from the low level, es-
pecially in Steel common. but the UNI
dertone continued extremely feverish
and unsettled.
? p. ma series of wide up-and-
down movements in the steel stocks, in
which they did not so lower than be-
fore, characterized the midafternoon
trading. Eventually the upward swing
became more definite, the common rail-
living and the preferred . points.
Standard railroad stocks came back
to last nights level. but there was a
large %shrinlsage in the dealings when
the market hardened.
3 p. m.-Tlle market closed weak. A
final raid against United States Steel
broke it to IS, the lowest OF the day,
but the decline was more orderly. and
| there was less excitement than at any
time of the day.
Large blocks, running up TO 5000
shares, changed hands. and the asgre-
gate business in this issue for the day
was we'll over 500, 900 shares. Prices
elsewhere weakened moderately and
there were some extreme breaks in OBJ
scure specialties.
