The prloe move ment was extraordinarily mixed and the conflicting movements .seemed to be so nearly balanced to their power to affect sentiment that neither was able to pre vail. The most conspicuous of the oppos ed movements today were those In St. Paul and In United States - Steal. Ht. Paul showed Mgresslve strength at dif ferent times. •There was persistent sell ing of United State* Steel, some of the Individual transaction being in enormous volume. The shares with St. Paul In the upward tendency were, for tho most port, amongst the lesa conspicuous low priced stocks. The usual market leaders, Including the larrlman Faclttc, tho 11111 stocks. Amal gamated Copper. American Smelting and Reading were Inclined to move In oom- pany with tho United Htutes Steel. Tho upward spurts at different times In New York Central. Chesapeake and Ohio and the Rock Island Issues had no explana tion In new developments affsctlng tho properties. They were attributed for the most part to activity on the part of stock market pools in the stocks. The feature of tho day In the wider financial significance was the evidence of the capital requirements opening before the markets. The announcement of tho sale of $50,000,000 of American Telephcv- ? “ nl Telegraph convertible bonds to bank 's seemed unexpected and was of por- ntlous effect on aentlment This was partly due to the announcement of a ( rlvficce to underwriters of the previous t09.00o.00O'Issue of these bonds to sub scribe In the present esse at 92. although the bond! sold Saturday in the market as high as 95%. Today they declined to 94 and the company’s shares also fell two points. The dissolution of the eyndlcate was accompanied by an Intimation that less than 10 per cent of tho underwriting hail been disposed of. The money market was unaffected by this or by tho arrangements for tho Do- oomhor settlements. There was some further advunco In foreign exchange rates and gold exports to Franco contlnui under discussion.
