Chicago and Eastern Illinois IS added 4
points to their recent ) point decline.

days close, but soon recovered. United
States Steel and some of the Motor stocks
were lower while Bethlehem Steel rose to
5S15 achieving new high record. Trading
was small, with narrow range. London
forwa rded the usual number of declines in
the international list.
