Fixing Steel Price Sends Price Up;
 Wild GyratiOns In Cotton Marked
By c. F. AVERY

The feature in the stock market yes- terday was the fixing of the price of steel by the government. There was considerable confusion at first as to how to construe the price given out and the market hesitated until it was put up to the experts, after which the ac- tion of the market plainly indicated by an advance of nearly $2 per share that it should be construed bullishly. Locally there was some disappointment indicated and much pessimistic talk in- dulged in that does not seem to be justified by the facts and by the pre- vious ruling quotations. True there may be some concerns who have neglected modern methods and econ omy in their management, who may not make as much now as they have been making, but comparison of the gov ernment prices, as fixed, with those that have ruled in the past should be enough to convince even the casual observer that there still remains big margin of profit even with advancing labor

Tn the early afternoon the mar ket moved up to a net advance of S7 to 5o points but later lost all of the gain. The selling in the early trading was stimulated by reports of higher marine insurance rates and later seemed to come almost entirely from profit takers on the long side. The main bullish influences were the tropical storm apparently head ed for the Gulf of Mexico and the dis turbance which caused the storm warn ing for the south Atlantic coast.

GRAIN GOSSIP
Opinions

Herald-The sentiment of'the trade was mainly bearish on the belief that there is little but outside support and that fore the trade in general is aware that a break Is on. The theory of the bulls is that there is too great discount between the December and the cash corn and that there is to be no accumulation in supplies such as to make the short side safe until after the end of Decem- Der. Some traders who are bullsh on corn are bearish on oats.
 Bartlett Frazier-"We continue to pre- fer the buying side of corn Not in clined to look for any further recessions in oats."
 Lamson-"As long as favorable weather continues the selling side of corn on bulges is advisable. The movement of oats for the week exceeds that for the same period last year and is expected to increase from now on.''
 Ware & Leland-We expect corn prices to show resistance on any decline from prevailing levels
 The trade as usual IS laboring under a misapprehensiona as to action to be taken py board or directors as to maximum price on corn futures tomorrow Presi- dent Griffin is authority for the state ment that the only action taken tomor- row will be to set a date for con- ference with representatives of other exchanges at which the situation will be discussed. There is no guarantee that the maximum will be either removed or modified.-Ticker.
