The pace of dealings was excep-
tionally slow throughout. Gains,
running to more than a point in the

near the final hour by mild profit
taking. Transfers were at the rate
of approximately $4,000 shares for

Business news remained encourage
ing for speculative forces. but
brokerage quarters were bit de-
pressed by the fact demand for
shares was still far under the mark
where commission houses can operate

The Russian-Finnish crisis and
the intensified sea warfare was
watched carefully in boardrooms
without causing much excitement.
Tax fears, lately seen as a bullisil
handicap, seemed to have ebbed a
trifle.

Most financial quarters viewed as
constructive the reaffirmation of
steel prices. These suggested that,
inasmuch as backlogs of orders al

production we'll into the first quarter,
it may be that second-quarter prices
will soon become a factor in pur-
chasing policies.
