Activity and weakness of the stock
market during the morning checked the
force OF the selling movement which set
in last week. There were few points of
strength in the list. Bear feeling was
emphasized by prophecies that the quar-
terly statement of the United States
Steel corporation would be unfavorRble.
Heavy professional selling was resumed
and the major portion of the list sold
below the previous low level before the
decline was checked United States Steel

Traders found little encouragement to
do business in the afternoon. The early
material declines and substantial sharp
rallies apparently completed the large
speculative operations for the time being
and the room was at a loss as to the
markets immediate action. Prices eased
of slowly on spasmodic selling, but
slight recessfons followed purchasing or
