new YORK STOCKS
TAKE BIG SLUMP
Little Steel Hits Low Level,
With Considerable Trading
and Slight Rallies.

NEW YORK. Oct. AFTER opening
fairly strong, the prices on the New
York stock exchange experienced the
worst slump Cor months in today's
trading. Little Steel hit a low level
price of 57x, at which there was con-
siderable trading, with occasional rail-
lies of one-quarter to three-eighths.
II closed at 5sls, one-quarter above the
low. but not even strong at this price.
While Steel was the particular star
in the downward movement, nearly
the whole list participated, despite the
fact that the only unfavorable news
was such as would affect steel. This
was that the price of steel billets at
Pittsburgh fo- some time had really
been $22.75 ton, and lot S24, the FIST
price at all, and that the reduction in
the price yesterday was only on paper,
as it had really been in effect for some
time. 1t was taken by the brokers that
If this reduction had been in effect for
some time, the earnings of the United
States Steel Corporation during that
tiile were really much less thaA they
supposed. as such cut in gross means
cutie an amount in the net earnings.
