Extreme caution was reflected in
the course of prices during today's
early trading. Initial quotations show
ed few change's beyond fractional lim
its, but secondary offerings were
mainly at low levels. United States
Steel fell a point from its top price
with 1 to almost 2 points for Crucible
and Lackawanna Steel and 1 1-4 for'
lb. i5G , -Bethlehem Steel "rights." Other
. .,.$3.25 neavy leatures included American
wooien, industrial Aiconoi, Atlantic,
Gulf and West Indies and Central
Leather. The trend of foreign bonds
was seen in the weakness of Anglo
French fives, which broke all pre
vious low records at 91 1-8.
Steel yielded all its forenoon gain
later and rallies reversed the early
course with coppers. Rubber, Beet
Sugar and American Car were 1 to 3
points lower. Local attractions also
developed further weakness.
