New York. February 2S.-Apart from
+ an extensive covering movement, by
SSS SheS short interest which effected a
lt9erSS sharp recovery in such prominent
Ssst0ck as Onion Pacific, Reading and
~ hited states Steel, the stock market
\ to.daH dinere,l cnlss slightly in its
esSalient features from the carly days
g,jors the week Trading was on a lnrger
scale. but no less profe ssionAl than
before. The strength of United states
steel was perhaps the more note
4 worthy because OF the severe arraIEn-
slnent of thnt corporation at the hands
Of the expert cn,pioyod by the Stanley
investigating committee. In point or
z Tact. however. and judging from
course OF ne m-.nt. as !, whole the
Street OF the report seemed TO have
been discounted.
The most potent factor of the Jay
Was the news received in private
cables from abroad, which Indicated
an early agreement respecting the
threatened coal strike in Great Brit
sin. These adviccS were not borne
out, however, oy official statements,
which reported Il continuance OF the
deadlock.
