STEEL TOPS MARKET
AS PRICES RECEDE
New York Exchange Has not Re
covered from Recent Slump.
(By the international News Service.

NBy the infernahonnh news seHfheec
New York. Aug. 3l.-Steel led the
stock market today in another Sc
we're slump. Within five minutes
after the opening this morning. up
wards OF rs shares OF United
States Steel had been traded in at
rapidly receding prices. During
the two hours OF the forenoon, the
flood of stock offered reached 200.-
600 shares. about one-third of the
sales Of the entire list. From 1l2 Ia
the price sank weakly to 100 Ia.
other steel shares suffered similar
ly. Republic dropped three points,
Lackawanna three and Bethlehem A.
one.
From steel the weakness quickly
spread to other industrial groups.
The coppers also were hard hit, los
ing from two to four points with
Anaconda and Utah leading the way.
Equipment and Munitions issues also
slumped from three to four points
Even the shipping securities which
have recently been showing some
backbone yielded easily. Tobacco.
Motor and Sugar shares joined IN
the general decentralization OF the
first two hours.
Railroad issues alone showed any
resistance. \ few stocks sagged
a point or more, but later recovered
most Of the loss in a slow upward
movement. The downward move
ment in the industrials also slack
ened after midday on the buying
OF shorts and the scattered pur-
chases of bargain hunters. but there
was no snap to the rally. The mar
ket closed with no appearance OF
strength.
It was not difficult to trace the
cause for the weakness. The street
is gloomy over the prospective at
tack on large Industrial prohts IN
the war revenue bill. Bears, hnu-
ing the exchange practically desert
ed by the substantial supporters Of
values who had left the city for
the Labor Day holiday. found it easy
to depress prices. Yesterdays at
tack showed them the market was
vulnerable 1t prepared the way
for a renewed drive this morning.
There was no buving power OF in
fiuence to Offset it. Next week may
bring a different story.

TRADING IS dull
ON LOCAL EXCHANGE
Losses Sustained in Other Markets
Have Effect Here.

Yesterdays session Of the Washing

last one until Tuesday, might as
well never have been held so far as
business transacted was concerned.
Transactions were so unimportant as
not to require special comment.
Throughout the day the bid prices
were shaded fraction. this being
but natural. in view of the very
serious losses sustained on the New

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET
Features of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks

New York, May 14-Partial improve
ment was shown by todays market aft
er the series of dull dealings. So far
as surface conditions indicated any
! thing at all. the change was predicated
largely upon the over-sold position of
the professional interest.
Developments over the weekend were
mostly favorable to the bears. That
faction derived further encouragement
from the perpleXing state of the for
eign situation, including Russian az
fairs. rubles again reacting to WITHIN
measurable distance of their extreme
depreciation.
The sweeping character of some OF
the prohibition measures now before
the national legislature probably ac-
counted for "a decline of Sd points IN
American Mailing Preferred to "a. IN
duStrials. particularly Steels. Leathers
and Oils, furnished much of the day
motive power. United States Stel re-
corded an advance of l 3-S points 10
III 3-S, it's top price of the fortnight.
Other advances, most of which were re-
tanned. ranged from to points IN
Bethlehem Steel old and new shares,
and Crucible, Lackawanna and GulI
States Steels. the latter being assisted
by an extra" / per cent. dividend.
Shippngs were in fair demands at
gross advances of . to points and IN
dustrial Alcohol Joined the actlVe
equipments at highest levels in the last
hour. Motors and Metals were less con-
'spicuous than usual but rallied on short
coverings.
Much of the depression of the fore-
noon was created by st. Paul, Whlch
made a new low record for about ~
years on it's 2-point decline to 69 -.
Leading coalers and trunk lines were
carried down l to 2 points with D.
Paul, but that entire division rebound
ed later Total sales amounted to ieo'-
600 shares.
