The continued advance of Pennsylvania and the TUnited States Steelstocks was the most influ- ential factor in shaping sentiment on the gen- eral market, and was fairly effective in sup- porting the level of prices in the face of profit taking in_some of the stocks which have made previcus Striking advances. Aside from re- ports f & growing expansion in the needs of steel products, there Was no news concerning either proverty vnless it was the denial of a Teport current yesterday of the placing of ad- ditional orders for 100,000 tons of steel rails for Harriman raflroads.
