There was a perceptible softenlng OF
the market this morning. although
changes among the leading issues were
small Speculative interest. which has
been falling off from day to day recently,
seemed almost entirely lacking, and at

with little success. as the rise brought
on sufficient offerings to force the list to
a lower level than previously. Lehigh
