The Interesting sequence OF events
which began with the somewhat SEN

change in the middle OF January

stage was the outburst of financial
enthusiasm at London, was carried

Like the downward turn at New
York (Which continued all this week.
the check to the European rise was
normal incident of a speculative mar
ket which had been moving up TOO
fast. The moderate advance in prices
for finished steel attracted interest;
but the week has brought no reports
of a tangible return of activities to
trade at large. Absence of such ful-
dlment of the. recent differences or
Wall Street from the bull market
then prevailing, and the fact that the
market itself was moving down again,
caused the occasional remark that the
