brisk, the former advancing something
over two points and the latter nearly
four points, touching lO4, The six

They were run up to l01 "a, four and

The steel stocks were heavy with the
exception of Sloss Sheffield, which
gained over two points. Loss of one

in the rest of the group. There were
strong and weak spots alike among
individual stocks. Among the former
were American Linseed and National
