The favorable showing made b. the United States Steel Corporation in the statement for tho quarter ending December 151 gac fresh impetus to the recovery nioveincut in the industrial division in today's) stool; market. Under tho leadership of Cut1 steel group, further substantial advances were recorded by nil the prominent industrial shares, nnd while the full iuiptocmcnt was not main tained, the tone of the market at all timci was decidedly strong, and. hs noted in the preceding sessions, the 'oot resistance was encountered with the rising prices. Once more the high money talc and a fresh demoralization in foreign ex change, c.irr;. ing rates to still lower liH-. were entirely disregarded, other than koepiug the trading contingent within reu.Min.ibIc bounds in thr.ir op-e'-atious.

The concentration of interest in these high-priced industrials caused consid erable commcut. more especially because of the. tnrdlnexs of the other industrial shaves and the Hue of cleavage still conspicuously drawn between the rail road and industrial divisions of the market. The momentum of the recovery move ment iu these highly speculate e issues was subsequently arrested wheu renewed weakness dooloPcd in the low-priced petroleums, or leceutlj promoted com panies.
