by groups of operators actlvo In oppoxltloir. which mailo that stock at
tract constant attention, it' was In Rood demand all through Hie first
hour and advanced 1W to 9.1?;. but the supply overcame the support
and this gain was wiped out before midday.
Other steel Industrials generally moved up uround 1 point In the
early trading and the samo amount of gain was mado In many of tho
railway stocks and several other Issues, with rvcosluns all through tho
list Just before noon.
Specialties moved In opposlto dheetloni, American Tobacco advanc
ing 6Vi to 14GV4. while I'ullninit dropped C to lOUU.
(lencrul Kleetrlc was In siiply all through tho morning, falling -91
to 128VS, and the rights were traded In on tho board for the llrst time,
selling ut 2H nnd 2V4.
Intel est was attached to the trading In Heading, which, nfter advanc
ing 1 point to aboo 74'.4, droppeil to below ".".. VIIIH-()erland was
another weak feature, falling from 19 to 17',j.
Apparently the news since Saturday was construed liulllslily b y the
KpeculatUe elcmciit and buying by traders was helped for a time by sonio
of tbu Important banking Interests, Imt the m.iiket bad too much to
contend with In the decline In l.lbetl I" hi the new low leconl of
