Gains of the first half hour ranged from one to three points in Bethlehem, Lackawanna and Crucible Steels and Republic Iron, with 13-8 for U. S. Steel. Metals and shippings averaged one point advances with oils, Cen- tral Leather and American Can. Among rails, Delaware and Hudson regained three points of yesterday's severe loss, with three for Canadian Pacific and one to one and a half for Union Pacific and leading coalers. De- clines were limited to fractions, except in Sloss-Sheffield which broke one and one-half points. General irregularity follawed the in- itial rise, Steel and associated shares losing about half their gains, and Delaware and Hudson forfeiting prac- tically all its recovery with variable recessions in other rail: The only | pronounced activity was in specialties | and pool issues comprising the war groups. Shippings held their early advantage and Wilson Packing rose street, | three and three-quarter with four and { one-half for Ohio Gas and five for | National Biscuit. Trading dwindled | at mid-day: | The bond market was confusing, in- i ternationals making further upward progress while domestic issues were lower and U. S. Coupon threes ylelded five-eighths of a point. Reactions became more extensive in the afternoon on relatively heavy sell- ing of rails, motors, and high priced specialties. Chief among the latter was American Tobacco, which lost six points. Business became more apathetic after the second hour. Closing.—Steéls and equipments at- tained to highest levels in the active firal hour, rails rising more moder- ately. The closing was strong. Sales were estimated at 650,000 shares.
