Market Dominated by Fears of What
 May Happen Overnight.

New York, May 5.-Business on the stock market yesterday was steady at the close In the late transactions prices generally had improved and a considerable portion of the early losses had been recovered. In some stocks net gains were shown.
 Union Pacific, Canadian Pacific and Lehigh Valley were the strongest of the standard shares. with Reading and United States Steel showing underly- ing hrmness.
 International Harvester and National Biscuit were advanced more than a point and some of the specialties in- cluding American Beet Sugar, were marked up well above Fridays closing figures
 At the opening there were indica- tions of further uneasiness. Gains and losses were about evenly divided for some time, and then the tendency be- came deCisively downward.
 Reading agaIn was the object of bearish attacks. As a result the quo taJion for 1t declined 1 5-S points. United States Steel common, Anal gamated Copper General Electric, h. terborough Metropolitan preferred and Consolidated Gas dropped 1 to points. The pressure, however, was less than on Friday, and the blocks of stock sold were considerably smaller
