United States Steel and Ontario and Western offered some support amid a tentative rally. Coal and railroad shares moved, with soft coal favoring lakes traffic and Norfolk and Western gaining on reports. Overall, the market held a steady tone with limited declines and some technical rebounds late in the session.
