Trading was very orderly throughout, Big operators admit that they are non- plussed as to the outlook. The public apparently is holding off, waiting definite indications of the next price trend. It was notable, however, that prices failed to givé response to cellent over-the-week-end news devel- opments. These included 9 surpris- ingly large increase in the Steel Cor- poration’s unfilled tonnage, the set- tlement of the Brooklyn Rapid Tranait strike, a good bank state- ment, the return of a large number ot Western railway shopmen to their work and the apparent death of the Pium>d plan for ratiroad operation.
