New York, June 1S.-Announcement
by Secretary Daniels that lower prices

shock today. Finding the stock mar

United States Steel attracted most
attention 1t Is we'll known that
several multimillionaires hquidated
steel above 40, which they had
been carrying for ten years or
more. Professional traders sold short
because the volume of steel in the
market was so great that they could
do 1t without attracting any atten-
ton The short interest in the mar
ket is not so large even at that The
unusual appearance of a short inter-
est is due to borrowing for the ac-
count OF. investors who have sold but
