U. 5. STEEL Low RECORD.

U. S. Steel sold down to TAN. the
lowest price since 1915.
There is nothing new in the steel
industry to account for the continued
selling.
Conditions are very upsatisfacto
and while the producers show a lack
of aggressiveness in meeting their
problems. all the steel stocks will be
subject TO attack during moments Of
market weakness.
Talking OF values behind the 10
sues is misleading under existing
conditions.
There is little demand, and the pro-
ducers seem to be sitting quietly ac-
cepting the situation with no attempt
to correct IL. 1 &
Consumers expect lower prices and
show no inclination to buy before
they get them.
Such being the case. the best policy
would seem to be to put prices on
their lowest possible level.
Such action, accompanied by q
rank statement Of conditions, would
no doubt relieve the situation. Until
