U. 5. STEEL BREAKS 2 POINTS TO LOW RECORD FOR YEAR

NEW YORK, May 11.-Concentrat- ing their efforts on the steels, equipments and few highly specula- tive automotive shares, professional interests succeeded in forcing anoth- CT sharp reaction in the price of in dustrial stocks in today's market. They were aided by some heavy pro- fit taking on the part of recent pur- chasers and the diversion of specula- tive interest on the long side of the market into the railroad shares which . showed moderate strength.
 United States Steel common broke more than points to 9S&, new low record for the year. and Beth lehem established a new bottom be- low 55 and then rallied slightly showing net joss of l s. Crucible Gulf States. Replogle and Republic lost l to 2A points. Cancellation ol orders because of the suspension Of several proposed building projects was one of the reasons assigned for the weakness of these issues.
 Baldwin dropped ? points to l27 12 and Studebaker established new low price at 5s, rallying later to 112. where it was off 2Fs on the day. American Car, American and Lima Locomotives and General Electric yielded 1 to 11a points.
 Other outstanding weak spots among the active industrials were Mack Truck, Willys Overland pre- ferred, Hayes Wheel, International Harvester, Mathieson AlkaH, DuPont. Eastman Kodak, associated Dry Goods, American Cotton 0iT prefer red. American Agricultural Chemical. Davidson Chemical; Gubar Cane Sugar preferred and United States Realty losses ranging from to nearly 4la points. WooIworth added A.. points to it's 16 points gain yesterday touching 2391 125 a new top, and then broke to 225 for net loss of 10 points, recent buying being al tributed to speculative expectation ol a stock dividend or an increase in the regular rate.
 Pere Marquette was one of the leaders of the railroad group. touch ing 43, new top, and then dropping back to 41 @s, where it was up 9s on the day Buying of this issue was based on speculative eXpecta- tion of an early declaration of dividend of s or S4 on the common stock and attributed to the same in terests which recently had been buy ing Pittsburg and west Virginia. which incidentally reacted 3$4 points on profit taking. Chicago and East ern Illinois common and preferred and Chicago and Northwestern each advanced about point.
 Call money held at 4la per cent through the day. Little time money came into the market and the de mand was small, a few loans being arranged at 5h. per cent for three and four months maturity. Prime commercial paper commands and ) l4 per cent.
 The foreign exchange displayed 3 better tone. Demand sterling ad vanced over d cent to S4.61$i and French francs again sold above 6.60c. German marks dropped below .0025c. Swiss francs dropped to 1G94c, a new low record for the year.

BRADsTREETs REVIEW

NEW YORK. May 11.-Bradstreet's to- morrow will say: Practically countrywide e cold weather. with snows or freezing tom peratures in many northern areas has re- tarded retail buying and crop germtnation. In country districts the pre-occupation of the farmer in endeavoring to mako up for earlier lost time tends to restrict par sonal buying and also marketing of left over crops, but mail order trade Is still ao tive. Wholesale trade shows further Quieting and collections have also i'm proved slightly. In industry while ths pace Is still fast, there evidences in the reports of postponement of new work announced as well as in the decline of building expenditures in April from the peak totals of March. that costs of labor or material have been pushed too high.
