The principle has already been

ening Of the technical position, and at
times there were evidences Of a good
inquiry for high grade securities. Ihe
buying was neither insistent nor sus-
tanned, however, and as q rule the net
changes were comparatively small. A
number Of issues made gains OF one
to three points in the early trading,
but weak spots developed late In the
day and the whole market eased off.
AT the close the tone was heavy and
q good deal of the forenoon's advan-
tage was lost. Total sales were ABA
900 shares.
The steel and copper shares made
a particularly good showing on the
the list in general, benefited from ia
eports regarding the ultimate
adjustment of price schedules by Off
cial action. The decrease Of $4,000
tons In untitled orders shown in the

exerted little influence on market tran
sacttons. ~.
The selling movement Of the last
