Early Decline Is Arrested.


The decline was arrested before the
end of the first hour. with substantial
recoveries in those issues which had
shown greatest weakness at the open
ing.
Crucible regained over 3 points, and
few other leading shares were at
levels we'll above yesterdays final quo
tations.
Marine preferred was the active fea
ture of the moderate forenoon. United
States Steel and Anaconda also con-
tributing more than their proportion
ate share.
Coppers as a whole were relatively
steady. but lacked the prominence OF
recent days.
Rails were again neglected and spe-
cialties were irregular.
Firmness prevailed at midday.
Few Active Exceptions.

there were a few exceptions. Crucible

vanced sharply, touching san in the

closed yesterday around 7lE, opened
this morning at Tx and dropped with
more or less regularity to 66h.
The weakness was accredited to the
report that the British government is

the United States and England; that
an increase in war taxes on the profits
Of the corporation might be attempted
from so to 50 per cent. A few weeks
ago the preferred stock was selling

freight, etc, in returning them and then
have to sell them anyway. The popular
