Steel was scaled down because of definite reports of de clining business and threat of lower prices. The railroad list again reflect ed the Influence of dwindling earnings. Lehigh Valley’s February net revenue decreased 2582,000. Uncertainty over the speculative out look made the list drag, although after noon there was a suspension of earlier professional selling. Railway steel spring sagged 2 1-2 on the announcement that no dividend would he paid at this time. Operations on the short side were light and declines were small during the fr/renoon but bulls feared to lake the ini tiative because of the market's inability to absorb the stocks which a rise would bring out. Outside Interest in the mar ket was virtually dead, the moderate price changes being due almost entirely to professional operations. Bonds steady. Closed firm.
