The stock market sagged a point
or more today as trading was re-
sumed after the Labor Day holiday
week end. Trading was extremely
dull, but leaders slipped easily on

prfsed, in view Of the more encour-
aging outlook for q peaceful set
tlement to those who had expected
an upruSh after the holiday.

tempt to rally the list failed, and
prices quickly turned downward

tinued favorable. Steel operations
