scored further gains. but rails made
an indifferent showing, aside from
the consistent strength of Southern
Pacific. Much of the improvement
was lost in the second hour when
fresh selling forced U. S. steel down

midday, however, fresh support was
seen in steels and other prominent
issues, the market then showing
tirmer tendencies all around.
