For example. reduction OF output was
reported from some Of the prominent
steel and copper companies. while one of
the leading railroads announced its de-
cision to forego new construction at an
important terminal.
The stock market reflected these con-

by irregular declines in the quoted
values Of many. issues. What amounted
to a general reaction occurred in some
of the more vulnerable shares. Rails

comprising some of the more distinctive
