of 6,690 shares in the first few min-j
UtfS.
Some recovery was effected in the
active slocks but they went off again

standing cases affecting Wall street.
Few issues weakened substantially
with the exception of a number which
were affected by the expected tariff

supreme court would adjourn for a
fortnight after today's session without
taking action In some of the more im
portant cases before it, caused some
irregularity In stocks, particularly'
