As on Saturday. the stock was simply
poured out In the first hour 10000

Taking the days business as n whole more

There were several days In January
when dealings In Steel ran more than
100, 900 shares. but In none OF these SEES

rest az great as was the case yesterday.
Market observers made little out OF the
transactions. About all they found 10 re-
cord was that sentiment on the stock
was extremely bearsh.
Although nothing IN the way or news
was offered for The resumption of the
selling no great surprise was manifested
thereat II Is the habit OF Steel to be
either desperately strong or desperately
weak II does nothing by halves. The
only novel development yesterday was an
exhibition Of stronger resistance when the
stock first got below 60 At 59A In the
morning sufficient buying power devel-
oped to force the price back to sos. the
high quotation of the day That was the
first kick back that Steel has shown

A large company OF travelling statesmen
were congregated In an uptown club the
other night Many widely Offering lines
were represented and there was great
exchange OF views on business conditions
all over the country. Uniformly business
was pronounced bad Man after man
offered his own personal experience on
his last trip on the road as proof. There
seemed to be no getting away from the
fact that things were very slack. But
one Individual present disagreed visor-
ously with the general verdict. He testi-
ned that his particular business was
booming and that he had never had
bigger results than on his last trip.
The information that he sold sausage
castings appeared to rob the rest OF the
company OF what announcement they
might have begun to feel Perhaps tn.
evidence OF big demand for the popular
substitute of meat suggested the sort Of
economy that does not jibe with great
prosperity.

.RUMOR OF RUSSIAN
 ARMY MOBILIZATION ALARMS ALL EUROPE

London, July 25-In all the European capitals today a very grave view is taken of the Austro-Servian situation arising out of the presentation to Ser via by the Austrian government Of virtual ultimatum demanding the sup pression of the Panservia movement and the punishme ent of those concern- ed in the assassination in Bosnia of the heir to the Austrian throne. Dipio- matic circles see in the dispute and in the added possibility of Russian iEaT terference on behalf of the little Slav' nation the danger of a general Euro pea1 war.
 The Servian government had not, un- til this morning. given any hint as to what it's reply to the Austrian note would be, but in quarters which are not official, no hope is held out that tho answer will be favorable. Should this turn out to be the fact, unless Russia should be successful in her ef- forts to have the time limit extended in favor of Servia, Austria will, 1t is pointed out, before many hours have passed take steps to enforce her de- naands.
 It is argued in authoritative guar ters that Austria-Hungary if left alone, could crush her dirninutive neighbor in short order but 1t is feared that Russia may find herself unable to stand idly by and see q Slav nation practically extinguished
 Already part of the Ru ssian press has taken a defiant attitude demand Ing that the governments in st. Peters burg undertake the protection of Ser via The Novoe Vrenya says;
 The Russian government clearly recognizes that the Austrian ultima tuna is particularly directed against 1t and Fpalssia is replying not only by worlds but by the requisite actions servaa is being subjected to an unlawful at tack and will not remain alone The disturbers of the peace have not to deal with Servta only bue also with. Russia Unless the Austrian ultima tum is withdrawn Russia will not re- main a silent spectator of vIolence's
 The Retch, on the other hand, says: tsOnr allies hitherto have been in no ways disposed to enter into conflicts arising out of complications in the near east and our English friends all ready are giving the prudent advice to give way. The only means of averting European conflict is strict abstention from giving any eneour- agement to Servia.''

Mayor Criticised
 For His Absence

Although Mayor CIifford B wilson had repeatedly asserted that he would allow nothing to keep him from the Warrenite injunction Hearing. he ev1- dently changed his mind and at pres ent at least, the Warrenite contracts are a matter of nosconcern to him. The mayor has been sojourrirls for the past few days at Ocean City NJ, as the guest of officials of the Electric Cable company with their .'IavincfbIe Brigade The mayor had said on Wednesday that he intended to ac- company the party to New York but under no circumstances would he go any further as he intended to be back in Bridgeport to attend the hearing at New Haven. Friday.
 He has not been seen about city hall since Thursday morning.
 The action of the mayor was the subject of much unfavorabIe criticism by Republican city officials and others at the city hall this morning They held that the mayor arranged the War renite contracts in spite of the city attorneys opinion; he has repeatedly declared in public that the contracts are legal; he has also repeatedly said that he would be at the injunction hearing and if requested would give the court his opinion on the contracts. in view Of these facts even his friends declared toay that his conduct was open to the severest criticism.
 Director of Public Works Jacob A.. Courtade who signed the Warrenite contracts, it is believed at the may or's directfon would say nothing to- day concerning the outcome Of the heartng at New Haven.
 Questioned regarding his failure to appear before the Paving and Sewer Commission last night to explain bills of the Pierce Manufacturing company and the B. D. Pierce, Jr., company, aggregatfng 8. 200 on which the com mission is withholding payment, Mr. Courtade said:
 T had a verbal notice from the sec retary of the Commission that my presence was required I told the sec retary would attend if I could find it convenient. I had been all day at the hearing in New Haven and was tired out when reached home I think 1t would be discourteous to make an explanation of those bills until I make the public one before the Com mission which it's members have asked for.'

FAMILIES OF THOSE
 INJURED DECL I'VE SETTLEMENT OFFER

Efforts of claim agents of the Con- neeticut Company to settle with the families of the victims Of the fatal Westport trolley wreck of "Wednesday night have proven successful. While 1t was admitted at the homes of Miss Mabel Cleveland George Raymond Fuller. Andrew Thompson, and Frank A. Merry that efforts were made on the part of the company to secure a settlement, it was denied that any set t1ement had been made.
 Ever since the accident, a large corps of claim agents employed by the company have been qo1lsily engaged in trying to effect settlements with those who were injured in the wreck. While, in some instances, a settlement was made. it was with those whose injuries have been slight.
 Others declare that they will walt for the result of Coroner Phelan's hearing into the cause of the collision, to see whether the company was at fault or whether negligence can be proven against either of the car crews.
