The unusual factor presented of most
interest was the situation in the steel

Declines in the price of refined copper

of the surplus stocks and the recent
diminished production from shutdowns
on account OF labor troubles.

These were matched by confusion among
banking authorities in their reviews them
selves over the effects to be expected
from the important measures.
The prospects of delay and uncertainty
threatened an additional complication In
the business outlook. The attorney gem

ter suit and particularly the terms de-
manded for q dissolution of that combi-
nation caused some disquietude to share
