been generally looked for and estimates
as to its probable extent ran from 500

That the monthly report OF the United
States Steel Corporation of untitled
orders on Its books as of January 81
was not as unfavorable as II appeared
was the consensus OF opinion In Wall

decline of slightly less than 100000
tons was what had been pretty gener-
ally looked for. estimates OF the prob
able drop having run from 100000 to
100000 tons The action of the general
market and the preceptibe covering on
the part OF a heavily extended short in
terest reflected the general attitude
taken by the street toward the report.
The entire Industrial list. with perhaps
one or two exceptions, began to look
UP Immediately after the report was
published. and most of the issues closed
at or close to the high point for the
day. Evidence that the covering move
ment, especially In Steel common was
wider than peculiarly was supposed. was
seen In the report of the loan crowd
