STOCKS IRREGULAR
IN DRAGGY TRADING
Market Operators Await Ac.
ton on Steel Dividend.
Some Gains Scored.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 28.-Faced with
the virtual certainty that the dividend
on United States Steel common stock
would be reduced at>the meeting Of the
directors after the close, today's stock
market displayed no trepidation. Trad
ing was very dull but prices taking the
list as a whole, gained ground. Steel
itself hardly varied a point all day.
Such speculative interest as there was
centered about the industrials. The rails
were ignored The stocks best liked
were the motors and a few merchandise
ing shares, including the American
Wooden issues. Oils were firm.
There was much speculation In
brokers' Offices as to what would he the
proper price level for Steel on SIS an
nual dividend basis and what 1t would
sell for If the rate were cut TO 81 q
share, but this discussion was not re-
Elected on the tape. A sale OF 100
shares for delivery 10 days hence took
place at 81, showing that the buyer Of
this one lot had considerable confidence.
Among the features on the side of ad-
vance were Mack Truck, up over a
point, without explanation; American
Wooden preferred at a new high on the
ton Of the company and the fact that
it will be the first capital obligation at
the END of the year. when all the fund
ed indebtedness will have been retired,
and j. C. Penny, which advanced on its
favorable earnings statement.
Selling in Childs Co. carried that
stock down to a new low for the year,
and q new low was made by National
Supply, which omitted the common
dividend the other day. OIL stocks as
a group were very steady and Houston
Oil was up a point.
In the motor list pressure against
Auburn auto continued. The stock add
ed 4 or points to its loss of over 10
points on Monday. In some quarters
the selling was attributed to downward
reviSions OF earnings estimates. Other
automobile stocks held well.
Little attention was paid to the for
eign situation, which. however, judg-
ing from the market for German dol
lar bonds, had improved. Sterling ex-
change opened Il Of cent lower, while
francs were unchanged.
Copper metal was said TO be offered
at 75s cents a pound, close to the rec
ard low. Wheat had another decline,
the price at Chicago falling to q record
low for two deliveries.
