STOCKS Lower.
IN SHORT
SESSION
BY w. 8. COUSINS

NEW YORK, April 13 U.N.S).-.
There was very little enthusiasm
among the bulls in the stock mar
ket at the weekend session, and
after an irregular opening, most
of the active Industrial stocks sag
eed to a slightly lower level oi
prices before noon. Exceptions II
that rule were found in the new
conner specialties to the active list,
most of which were held strongly
in position by the pools and pro
fessionals.
The week end business reviews
were mainly favorable, though
slight falling off in production waa
reported in number of the i'm.
portant industries Manufacturers
Of motor trucks, motor car acces.
sories. airplanes and other products
issued very favorable surveys OF
conditions in their respective lines,
which have recently been featured
by the formation of large new cor.
porations to carry on their business.
Speculative interest centered in
the first hour on United States
Steel, in view of the Forthcoming
stockholders meeting and the ana
nouncement of the new stock offer
ing next week. Estimates Of the
price to be asked for the stock
ranged from 500 to. $3.50 a share.
but it is generally admitted that
stockholders will have valuable
rights" In connection with the re.
capitalization of the big corporation,
Steel common mved up fractionally
to above 1870 in the first period, but
a flood of selling orders swept in
preventing any furthe" upward
move
The same was true of American
Can, General Motors. and other
leaders in yesterdays closing rally.
Losses of to 2h points in these
stocks represented little more than
profit-taking and professional short
selling, but the tide of selling orders
was too strong to permit of any
thing like rally in any section OF
the list
