The tone of the market was decided by the United States Steel stocks. These were affected by realizing and the traders sold in consequence. There was a rally late in the morning on covering of shorts, but prices eased off again in sympathy with the late decline of a point of United States Steel preferred. The decline of 1% in Amalgamated Copper was an additional influence in affecting a market which was still largely given over to the Industrial specialties. The advances in Tennessee Coal, Republic, Steel preferred and a few other less important industrials proved a poor substitute for United States Steel as a sustaining factor in the market. ■'{ There was no marked pressure to sell, but ? the disinclination to ' proceed with speculative • ventures until after the ' elec tion left little sustaining power.- The bank statement agreed closely with . the -. indi cations: from \ the ; week's -: currency • move ment,-the loss by gold exports being fully reflected •in ■ the cash " decrease, but with today's - $2,000,080 shipment ito Cuba still to be - accounted ;• for. : The c question -of further gold outgo to Europe next week is still open and the» tide of . the - currency movement with. the Interior has. turned in favor: of j New York less > decisively ; than anticipated.: .Missouri Pacific's decline in gross earnings for the fourth week of Oc tober hurt that stock and New York Cen tral's small Increase for October, was dis appointing.
