u. S. Steel Leads
Continued Rise
In Stock Market
High Records Established
in Early Trading; Profit
Taking Causes Reaction

Spectacular strength was displayed
by the common stock of the United
States Steel Corporation at the Stock
Exchange again yesterday, when that
issue rose in sensational manner to
1o97s, q new high record, under the
impulse impaired by buying orders
that ran into hundreds of thousands
of shares. The remarkable advance
staged by the markets speculative
leader carried many other leading
stocks to new high record prices for
the movement and the turnover at the
shares. Toward the close of the mar
ket heavy profit taking sales were in
evidence, which resulted in forcing
prices down from the earlier high lev
els, although the majority of stocks
showed substantial net gains at the
finish.
Steel common, about which interest
centred all day long, opened with the
sale of $500 shares at 107 to 1861, a
fractional decline from Thursdays
close. soon, however, DuylnT OIueIS
for big blocks of the stock made their
appearance and in the course Of the
first half hour Steel touched 100.
Dealings in that stock from 10 to 1O:3p
approXimated 100000 out Of a total
turnover on the Exchange Of 250,O00.
Commission houses with Western
wires we're reported as heavy buyers
Of Steel.
Around midday the market slowed
down and Steel eascd off, but in the
ing orders forced the price to the high
point of the day, 1097s, where 1t
showed a gain from thursdays close
of 2@s points. Later realizing sales
resulted in decline to close OF
1881, where Steel showed net gain
of l point on the days turnover Of
425,000 shares. One commission house
was credited with the purchase of co.
600 shares of Steel during the day.
Numerous other industrial stocks
sold at new high prices, including
American Sumatra Tobacco, which rose
to 12o and closed 27s up, at IT. Amer
lean Sugar gained 81 points net,
while Baldwin Locomotive closed =
points up. at 95a4, after selling to S7A

New Liberty Bonds
Sell at Discount on
Stock Exchange
Price Closes at $98. 40;
Total Dealings Reach
$3,558,OOO

The new third Liberty bonds yester-
day came out for the first time into <he
sunlight of the market place. The first
transaction in them consisted of a
block of $307 900 Of the bonds at o. 10.
and another 100000 was bartered at
the same price. Then there was con-
tinuous decline, and the bonds closed
at 9S.40, with discount of $1.60 for
each 500 bond
Total dealings in the third Liberty
Loan amounted to So 3,55s,OO0. The mi
tial price, which was below par, stood
in contrast to the treatment of the
bonds of the first and second issues
on their first day at the market. The
former opened at a slight premium, and
change yesterday, the first $10O third
Liberty bond offered sold for 101, and
the next transaction was at 1909 In
later trading the quotations dropped
to 9S and 81 in very small lots.
Stock Exchange officials here scruti-
nized the trading in Liberty bonds
closely yesterday for evidence of at
tempts to break the market in the new
issue Oh the part of enemy sympathiz-
crs, but they said that the selling
showed no trace of this kind of liqui-
dation. 1t was said that the source of
the selling orders was chiefly out%pf-
town banks
With delivery required not later than
the day following the sale on the ex-
change. present dealings in the third
loan are restricted to the bonds actu-
ally bought for cash and received by
the purchaser over tho counter during
the campaign. According to estimates
only s135 100000 were sold in the New
York district in this way. Therefore
the entrance Of out-of- town sellers
into the market is deemed certain.
Bond men pointed out that the new
5 per cent redemption fund connected
with the Az per cent issue was not
brought into use yesterday, as the

important to warrant government sup

Country Stores Fear
Merchandise Lack
Heavy Buying of Civilian
Goods by Out-of-T Town Mer-
chants Reported

A shortage of labor and a deficiency
in the supply of goods for civilian uses
are the only unfavorable aspects re-
corded in "Bradstreet's" review of the
week which shows a great quickening
of business activity following the sue
cessful flotation of the national third
war credit.
In sketching the favorable conditions,
the survey says: Improvement in
weather conditions, crops, trade, espe-
cially at retail industrial outputs, gen
eral rail and water transportation, and
last but not least, in stock market
sentiment and dealings, constitute a
sextette of favorable features. With
the third Liberty Loan largely over
subscribed, the business world seems
to have turned it's attention back to
trade and industry, this process being.
no doubt, facilitated by better weather,
more optimistic crop reports and in
sistent government demand for all
sorts of materials.
with the drive ahead to win the
war gaining force, outputs of essen
tlals naturally receive most considera-
ton, and this process makes for les
sened production of civilian goods,
begets fears that there will not be
enough to 60 around, and stimulates
buying by country merchants as we'll
as by those who cater mainly to the
industrial communities and the zones
where cantonments are located.
Though preaching of economy goes on,
it is noteworthy that distribution of
unprecedented wages to men and the
drawing of women to new occupations
has increased the power to spend"
In "Dun's Review" emphasis is laid
on the fact that the country as a whole
is getting closer to war basis.
Economy and retrenchment," it says,
are being practiced in many quarters,
either through necessity or from a dis
position to conserve resources in an
ticipation of future Federal borrowing,
and the movement to promote thrift is
spreading. That the country is getting
more completely on war footing each
weeks reports makes clearer, and the
restrains on general business tighten
as the government makes greater de-
mands upon manufacturing and dis
tributing facilities"
