Some Issues Break Below
Yesterdays Levels in
Bear Attack.
BY CLAUDE A. JAEGER,
Associated Press Financial Editor.

NEW YORK. June 1.-THE stock
market, having just struggled to its feet,
was sent Keeling again by the impact Of
another wave of selling today, but man
aged to pull itself together and make
substantial recovery by early afternoon.
Important shares tumbled about to
10 points before short covering began
to cushion the decline.
Trading was in comparatively light
volume, but the violence of yesterdays
late upturn was in itself enough to bring
out liquidation being held up for better
levels, and this attracted fresh bear
attacks. There was no inclination to
support the market until the selling had
run its course.

any decisive action on the bill, finally

These developments affected sentiment
adversely, and bearish rumorS, many of
them branded as ridiculous in re-

culated. One of the more favorable items
was an announcement by Western
Union management that telegraph bust
ness had improved markedly during the
current quarter.
Several important issues tumbled to
new lows. Lambert dropped 8 points

CHARACTER OF STEEL

Underlying conditions in those lines
comprising the great bulk of steel con-
sumption have been undergoing a
gradual change during the more recent
past. That is, those lines which re-
quired the major portion of finished steel
during the closing months of 1929 and
the first quarter of the present year are
now yielding considerable ground, and
the industry is becoming more and more
dependent, for stabilized operations, on
increased requirements from fresh
sources, according to a current survey
by the Standard Statistics Co. of New
York, which follows in part:
THE railroads in 1929 Gn;luding the
equipment makers) accounted for some
II per cent of aggregate demand, and
were surpassed only by the automotive
industry in the volume of steel taken.
This year rails will undoubtedly head
the list of consumers.
Railroad equipment orders have
dropped sharply since the high levels of
January and February, and although
work on the books Is sufficient to neces-
state a relatively steady flow of steel
for number of months, little impetus
for a higher rate Of activity for this
type of demand can be seen.
