New York, May 31.-Enormous liquida-
ton Of United States Steel stock was the
feature OF today's market in Wall Street.
also the absorption OF that stock within
a limit Of less than three points. All
professionals were amazed at the amount
Of trading. The stock rose to the new
high record Of 136 SIS after which 1t re-
acted TO 13A This reaction was swift and
the stock was thrown on the market in
blocks OF i've, ten and twelve thousand
shares at a clip. It looked like real
liquidation as Il unquestionably was for
the Identity OF several of the sellers be-
came known. They disposed of stock
that had been held for years, in some
cases profits OF 800 a share had been
taken The whole market was weakened
under the influence of this selling ana
the close was irregular and near the
down from one to three points from the
high.
Then when the day was over the pro-
fessionals wondered even more who had
taken all Of this enormous volume OF
stock at such high prices. There is no
evidence OF a public interest In the mar

purchases. 1t looks as II a great pool
OF bankers had been organized to under
write the stock market for the benefit
OF the liberty loan.
Throughout the day the motor stocks
were weak. OF the popular trading Is
sues, Central Leather. Crucible Steel,
Republic Iron and the Marines were ac-
tive Tobacco stocks responded quickly
to the report from Washington that the
committee IN charge OF the new tax bill
had decided to reduce the proposed tax

the moVcmsnt Of grain viii be as lptd it can be

Declines o( II to 81 cents were made In cnrn
today. The larger holders led in the selling and
the increased offerings werc but poorly absorbed.
The weakness in oats and the declines of lXkIS
cents largely the result Of the declines in
whrat and corn. After showing a decided strong

early and with export business partly
from the Gulf there were lossos on increased

Numerous difficulties encountered by
steel companies during May have result
ed apparently in a decrease of about S
per cent in the output Of steel Conges-
ton at mills, lack of cars, and inadequate
motive power to move accumulated
stocks of finished material have been
among the most obvious drawbacks.
Vigorous measures taken by the mills,
however, have resulted in bringing some
new plants into operation. and the indi-
cation is that the total production of
steel ingots for May will fall but little
short of $4,000 tons. United States
steers output Of ingots probably will fall
from 1900 to 10000 tons under the April
production. which was the heaviest, with
one exception, in the history of the or
ganization.

monthly gross revenues for April Of the
