STEEL And RAILROAD
STOCK IS IRREGULAR
Market Shows Sharp Losses and
Partial Recovery.

New York, Oct. 17.-Today's market
trading was variable. There were
some gains, but more losses were scor-
ed at the close. Material declines
were recorded in many issues. Steel
and railroad stocks were under pres
sure. as were motor and coppers.
as stocks proved susceptible TO pres
sure, yielding easily on comparatively
light trading.
There was a firm tone to the open
ing. Prices advanced moderately for
a time. A brief reaction. which ap-
peared healthy. followed. Then an
upward movement, broad In its scope,
gave encouragement to holders of
stocks. But before midday the bot
tom had fallen out OF the fiedgling
price boom, and pressure began to
develop. Few stocks escaped the
downward swing brought about by
the afternoon selling movement. Gains
made earlier crumbled and net losses
of several points were made in many
issues.
Financial men who sought a reason
for today's decline were at a loss
Most of these appeared TO agree that
it was largely due to timidity on the
part Of the small holders. who rush
ed to get out before another possible
break like that of last week developed.
Railroad stocks did not suffer so
badly as some Of the industrials, and
Pennsylvania closed with a gain OF
is of a point; Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western lost 1-2; st. Paul. 1-o;
Chesapeake and Ohio. /; New Haven,
