Steel Stocks Steep Decline Marks Opening In June Market
The June New York stock session opened heavy on continuing fears after Illinois Steel shutdowns, with steel and iron stocks led lower by Federal Steel and Steel and Wire. Sugar refining remained constrained by dividend uncertainty while rail shares declined on broader weakness, and a late rally emerged in anthracite and some rail names amid dividend expectations. The Sub-Treasury reported a $429,166 debtor balance at the Clearing House.
