The manner In which the stock mnrket nctcd ufter ItH continued nltacka by the bear plunders made many rcgnrd It ns In n position of Imprcgnablo strength. Tho concentrated drives which forced United States Steel common on two occasions below 120 today were without the slightest Influenco In dis turbing long holdings. In fact, bear efforts wore ridiculed by those who were informed nbout tho Industrial and market situation. They called attention to the fact that again the Steel statement for the Juno quarter, to bo published on Thursday next, will show earnings of $130,000,000, or ciual to SO per cent per annum on tho common, which, nddod to the 19 per cent earned In 131C, would show 12D per cent earned In tho two years. Tho Bame conditions prevailed In other steel Industrials, Including Ileth leheni Steel, Cruclblo and Baldwin Locomotive, and tho financial strength result ing from accumulation of earnings of other Industrials Is co great that a statement In regard to their current and accummulated profits would seem wildly extravagant. These matters are not taken Into consideration by tho bear operators, who base their opinions on their ubllity to temporarily change the prices on the tape. Many sharp declines were recorded during the first half of the day. followed by quick rallies, but trading decreased In volume In the afternoon, and with the quietness strength became pronounced. For the time the uncertainty In regard to Government contracts prevents vigorous bullish operations, but the cessation of speculative activity on the bull side does not In any way impfllr security values. Conditions In tho bond market continued unchanged, with small transactions In railway Issues at virtually unchanged prlce3. Thifre were- some large blocks of foreign bonds traded In. Anglo-Kicnch 5s continued to sell at 03'i to OS-V Liberty nonds declined slightly. Am Int Corp ....
