'the hlerher nrlc levels nf the enrlv week.
but closed with an unsettled tone. The
setting forward the' time for an extra
session of congress was hailed with gen
eral satisfaction, even though It prompt
ed some timorous liquidation and con
siderable short selling. Bullish sentiment
was encouraged at the outset by the an
nual report of the United States Steel
corporation. Steel was again the market
leader, rising a point to 118 on dealings
aggregating almost t 25 per cent of the
total turnover.
Steel yielded with the general list In
the final hour, when selling orders seem
ed beyond the market's powers of ab
sorption. Steel closed at lir., a loss of
'4 of a point and reaotlons of varying
degrees were shown by other industrials,
enulnmonts and munitions from their ex-
84 j treme gains of 2 to almost 6 points. The
8 reversal also affected rails, shippings and
fy I some of the more speculative shares.
Numerous substantial advances were su
nt-rseded bv net losses of 1 10 3 i'lrts,
final quotations In some, noteworthy In
stances bolng at the da" s lowest levels.
. Bonds were Irregular throughout on
nominal dealings. Total sales, par value,
12 825.000.
