settlement which has marked stock
market transactions this week through
an apparent disposition to take profits
became more reactionary yesterday,

est losses, although some issues gave
resistance enough to indicate reserve
strength. Moderate reaction seemed
to be favored in conservative quar-
ters. The large volume of turnover

Estimates of the Steel Corporations s
earnings for August have been placed
ahead of last month in circles usually
well informed. predictions being that
the figures will range from $4,000. 900
to $3s.000.000, which, it was said.
would permit another extra dividend
of SO cents and leave a balance of
between 100000 and $4,000, 900 to
be carried to surplus.
Bankers are reported to be giving
careful attention to the action Of the
railroad shares. Although Southern
Railway common crossed 70 for the
first time in its history of 80 years,
rail issues were the weakest group
in yesterdays trading. As they be-
gan the upward movement in the mar
ket several months ago. 1t is expected
they will be the first part Of the list
to be subject to distribution.
