ket today the most aggressive operations In
ths shspe of selling movements were directed
sxalnst the market leedt'ra, particularly
l ulled States Steel, and after an earlv de
cline, followed by a rally, an unmistakable
reactionary tendency developed. Trading
was almost the lightest in a week until ths
final hour. Prlcea of many active Issues de
clined a pomt or more, but a rally was ef
fected shortly before the close, and a largs
psrt of the dsv's losses were recovered.
Todey'e reaction may reasonably ba attri
buted to ths professional traders, many of
whom have taken profits on the rise which
followed hs Standard Oil decision, and now
argue that technical conditions favor a halt.
