amount of public liquidation has been
small. It has been increasing, however,
as the average of prices has declined.
Not all stockholders are waiting for an
nouncements that their dividends have
been reduced before selling. The pro-
feSsional operations for the decline still
make the greatest impression on prices.
The chief hope that Wall Street has Of
an early recovery in stocks lies in the
possibility of pressure against the short
interest similar to that which was ex-
erted in January and out of which a
two-month rise in prices was initiated.
Metal Markets Depressed.
Both the iron and steel and the
metal markets this week experienced
a decline in prices and curtailment
in demand. Quotations on scrap iron
declined to the lowest in years and in
some sections of the price. list were
offers that have not been duplicated
in the past decade. OF greater i'm
portance, however, than this was the
drop in the rate Of production to 81
per cent compared with 81 per cent
in the last week of March, indicating
that the seasonal demand had run out
and that the trade faced dull Spring
period. In 1880 steel production rose
to 80 per cent in February. After
dropping to rs per cent in March, it
advanced to 80 per cent, where it stood
at about this time of the year.
Metal prices this week have been I'M
satisfactory, with copper reacting be-
low 10 cents and zinc lower than it
has been in 80 years. The general
commodity price index has also beerf
affected by further weakness In coffee
and rubber and in farm and food
products. The wholesale price list is
now lower than it has been heretofore,

there are increasing signs of stabiliza-

ward movements that characterized the
period between the middle of 1929 and
the later months of 1880. One of the
encouraging features Of 1881 is the
suggestion that commodities are ap-

resistance appears to have become posi-
tive at about the same time that the
various business barometers indicated
that the trade storm was blowing it

By CLAUDE A. JAEGER,
Associated Press Financial Editor.

NEW YORK, April 18.-Bears took
profits in the last half hour OF trading
In today'S stock market, giving the list
q final upturn and a firm closing Tor
the first time in five days.
The market sold of moderately dur
ing the early part of the short Sat-
urday session, but with the annual
meeting Of United States Steel on
Monday, and the possibility OF con-
structive developments, bears felt 1T wise
to buy back at least part of the stock
Steel, after sagging a fraction to a
new low at 100, rallied to close about
2 points net higher. Most of the So

Auburn was again a wild performer,
dropping Al points to 1876, or about 100
points under the peak price touched on
Tuesday. 1t later rallied to close a
little above 200.
Several shares ended the day with
net advances of q point or two, includ

Biscuit, Bethlehem Steel, Public Service

cific. Allied Chemical and Lambert
each gained 3. Sales for the two-hour
session were about 100000 shares.
The market was governed primarily
by technical conditions. During the
decline since Monday bears have been
rather wary, owing to the small volume
of selling, and the heavy liquidation in
the last hour yesterday looked like
selling climax for the time being. There
has been considerable apprehension lest
the list be getting oversold. In fact,
there have been vague rumorS that
some of the large operators were plan
