this week, unperturbed by hot
and humid weather in most sec
tions of the country, Dun &

tial, the agency said.

of irregularity.

Bethlehem Steel was the star
performer today. It lost 314 on
IA starting block of 1000 shares
and continued trading at a stiff
loss. Selling was evidently
brought on by disappointment
in Wall Street when directors
yesterday took no action to split
the stock as had been hoped by
traders. Earnings were at peak
levels and the dividend payments
was raised.
Reynolds Metals, up 434 yes
terday at 227, shot ahead around
S points today at the best after
directors proposed a f1ve-for-one
split.
Masonite was up an extra cash
dividend of so cents and
lper cent stock dividend.
The stock market yesterday
was lower with the Associated
Press average of so stocks down
81 at $175.80. That is $1.20
