EASY
duo to
According to Mesura, Swan, Culbert. son and Fritz, the New York market was easy yesterday. Business dona: 1,000,000 shares. The Wall Street Journal roparts:-After an early ad- vance the market declined dumping of block, of from ane thousand to more than soven thousand shares in order to establish tax losses, Considerable shares of General Motors, North American and Aviation were sold. Later the market firmed owing to improved November operat ing, showing railroadn also better steel now than expected. The fronage Alagazine reported a lower hellday decline than anticipated, and stated-The industry is holding slightly above depression low point despite usual year-end curtallment and output is estimated at 13%. There is no Buspension in districts where automabile steel are the principal products except during week-end holl days. Detroit plants are operating five or six hearths, Cleveland area 26% and Pittsburgh area not above 12. Mills will start new year with no important backlog tonnages with very indefinite prospects. It is expected, however, that business will Improve moderately after the end pause.
