Lowest Volume OF Business for Year

Tuesday.

NEW YORK. Feb. 20-The day In
the stock market may be epitomired
In the statement that the total out

preached the low records OF the past

who have had the field quite to them
selves for the past few months. were
seemingly disinclined TO take on new
commitments. either for the rise or
the decline.
The most that can be said for the
market is that IL maintained some
semblance OF equilibrium. In fact
such trend as the list manifested was
todays firmness but net changes in
the more important shares were in
considerable. Pressure upon United
States Steel was somewhat relaxed
and trading in that stock was relative

1ative stocks moved within the most
restricted limits.
In the list OF special,ies there were
some marked gains. but the move
mcnt of these stocks failed to excite
the mildest interest elsewhere. The
market has reached that degree oi
apathy where certain issues which
have their impetus in the manipul
ations OF pools no longer exercise the
slightest influence.
The street evinced no interest in
doings at Washington and was equal
