Glen Alden coal and Lehigh Valley coal were steady and there was a fair amount of business in Gillette Safety Razor, Hudson and Manhattan issues were strong.
 The oil stocks as a group were steady but at times pressure came into some of the Standard Oil issues. Lsgo was the feature of the mis- cellaneous group but there were indi- cations that buying of this stock came from sources identified with the con trol of some of the Standard Oil properties.
