THE CONSOLIDATED EXCHANGE.

United States Steel led in respect TO
activity in the dealings on the Consol-
dated Stock Exchange. 1t opened at 50G,
n fractional decline from its closing price
on Tuesday later rallied and rose to
blHs, hut softened again in the after
noon, selling AS low as Boss, with its
closing price 81. There was special
demand for Central Leather. with COM
mission houses handling a good many
odd lot buying orders in that stock, the
movement OF which was based upon re-
ports that a dividend would soon he de
clared. II opened at S5is which wa.
its lowest. and advanced to 37L. closing
at 367s.
The general tendency Of prices in the
AFTERNOON was toward heavincss. 1t was
however, the comment on tho floor that the
market as whole acted remarkably
well in the face OF the reported bonn.

signiacanf Dulness.

The most prominent feature Of the mar
ket has been the sudden and pronounced
falling Off in business. Since the reaction
on Tuesday morning the market has be-
come progressively duller until yesterday
it practically died on its feet as the
traders say
Dulness on a decline IL usually ac-
counted a favorable sign in stock mar
ket lore. But it may he questioned
whether the existence OF minimum prices
may not have changed the significance
OF all signs and OF this one in particular.
Dulness would be natural development
when prices approached the minimum
after u sharp fall. 1t could DO caused
by temporary cessation of lqulda ton
in order not TO depress prices danger
ously near the dead line. Liquidation
only can drive prices down to the mini
num- Short selling alone couldn't do II
even IL short sales would be undertaken
for the purpose The market would choke
up first.
Pronounced dulness in stocks that are
near the minimum may therefore be equiv
alent to the development of weakness in
a normal market: tlat Is. weakness NAV
be expressed in terms OF dulness. Yestc.-
days dulness may have been due to un-
certainty over the meaning and possibii-
ties of tho German raid In the North
Sea.
