NEWS OF THE FINANCIAL WORLD-NEW
LABOR PROBLEM CHILLS
SPECULATIVE ENTHUSIASM
Facilitating Price Movement Effected Uncertainty OF Oucom
of Presidents Intervention in Steel Controversy

New York, Sept. 6.-It would re-
quire wide stretching of imagination
to place any particular significance
upon the narrow vacillating movement
of today's brief stock market. The ir
regularity and the marked curtailment
of speculative activity was a natural
aftermath of the weeks violent fuctua-
tions. With the uncertainty of the
labor situation staring them in the face,
the trading contingent showed a marked
disinclination TO either extend existing
commitments or put out new lines.
Gompers's alarmist telegram put quite
a different light on the labor situation,
which up until yesterday had all the
earmarks of approaching n happy So
luton. There were many, however,
to be found in the financial community
this morning of the opinion that en-
tirely too much Importance had been
put on the incident. This belief no
doubt was sincere, yet none seems to
possess the courage of their conviction.
Like the majority, they were more in
clined to sit tight and await develop
ments.
One Of the more encouraging features
attending the days brief session was
the increasing degree of rcsiliency which
the market as a whole developed as the
session progressed. This exerted an
effective check against renewed agrees
siveness on the part of the bearish con-
tingent, who have grown in rapid num-
bers the past forty eight hours. At
the same time the constructionlsts
showed little inclination to force ral-
lies, on the contrary, were disposed to
permit the market drift for itself, there
by letting it find its own common level.
Because of the weeks erratic price
movement there was considerable in
crease in the familiar week end evening
up operations, representing great deal
of shifting of accounts and thereby
making the trend of the market in
definite and conflicting.
The bearish contingent naturally were

There was heavy buying again in
American Marconi at 6A to 81a, that

ready at all times to take advantage OF
every signs Of heaviness, but there was
evidently sufficient underlying support
ing orders from the more important in
terests to Offset aggressive drives. U.
s. Steel furnished a fair indication OF
the uncertain trend Of the market
fluctuating within range OF a point.
Whether It represented short cover
ing or not the opening transactions un-
covered a fairly good underlying buying
demand and for a time offerings were
easily absorbed. The rallies met fresh
selling pressure and carried prices down
1 to Q points. This was followed by
a fresh rally, but the rebound lacked the
vigor attending the recoveries earlier
in the week. The market then drifted
into a narrow rut, indicating the wide
spread of the waiting attitude.
The trading in both Crucible Steel
and Baldwin Locomotive was greatly
subdued. There was still considerable
discussion concerning the roundup Of
the Crucible shorts. 1t, however, Is
the consensus of opinion in market cir
cles that the time has passed for the
reports about a private settlement Of
shorts in Crucible Steel to serve fur
ther consideration. Generally it must
be assumed that statements that an offer
on the part of the shorts to settle pri-
vately at 225 are correct. One story
current in market circles was that a
short interest of 80 900 shares had been
settled privately at 100.
Many who have made a close study
of the trading in the stock, however,
believe there had been intervention on
the part of the stock exchange authori-
ties that resulted in calling a halt in
the spectacular bullish operations, and
that the market had been left to the
shorts to cover in if they could. The
statement was made today by a COM
petent market expert that the only way
in which those shorts could be covered
was by buying the stock and not SELL
ing 1t.
