The sensational rise that marked op.

price ranging between 1872 and 1876, ana
representing an advance Of 4 points.
The only explanation offered for the
extraordinary activity in this issue is
the generally optimistic feeling regard
ing the automobile business, with the
consequent improvement in the busi.
ness Of Electric Storage. which would
be expected to share in any boom In that

EXCITED TRADING
IN STEEL SHARES.
Important Announcements Con-
cerning Merger Of Independent
Companies Expected Today

New York, Jan. 20.--The trading in
the steel industrials and affiliated issues
on the stock exchange this morning was
attended with great excitement. Price
changes were so wide in many stocks
that they could not be believed by those
who, at the time, we're reading the tape
recording the initial dealings. In some
cases, the reactions which occurred in a
few minutes were almost as violent as
the advances had been. The general
belief was that some developments have
occurred that may be made public to-
day. The Street was full Of talk, after
the close yesterday, about announce.
ments that were expected on the steel
mergers today.
The largest movement in the first flf.
teen minutes was in Replogle Steel,
which started with a gain of 1925. at
IL, and then reacted a point Mt time
to a. Vanadium Steel made gain
Of more than 3 points. TO 371a. Cruel, =,
bic Steel rose 5& points. TO 65, and
Sloss Sheffield moved up 2a. to 43h Il.
Republic was another strong feature,
moving up 2as. to 56h. Lackawanna
Steel was heavily traded in and within
short time was up nearly 8 points, TO
30. There was g continuation of the
sensational movement in Gulf States
Steel. which rose S1a points, to 90la.
The violent advances In the steel in
dustries that had been prominent at
other times. but which we're recently
inactive, caused n good deal Of conjec-
ture and many held to the view that de-
velopments outside Of the steel trade
may have been the incentive which
caused the wild trading.

What helped Eastern more than
anything else was the return of Capt.
O'Dea to the center of the line, where
he performed we'll enough last year
to earn a berth on the all-high school

played against Tech, O'Dea was Of
little value, and to a great extent
married the play Of his running mates.
At center yesterday he added much
to the strength of the Eastern line,
and with the speedier Lehnert. A for
mer all-high end. playing fullback,
the Capitol Hill backfield was more
impressive.
There was dash aplenty in the East
ern backfield. but none OF the other
ball runners measured up to the
standard set by Hook at left halfback.

he failed to advance only on three
occasions and Extensively was excep-
tionaIly strong. Ady also helped
Eastern considerably. lie proved Il

Watts failure to stick his toe into
the ball as effectively as he did in the
game against Central hurt the Stenog-
raphers much. His weak efforts We're
mainly responsible for his team being
on the defensive the greater part of
the way. The SteHographers in the
line did their part. May especially. but
on every exchange of kicks the East
