Bear Raid Check Holds Steel as a Sustaining Force
The Washington Post reports on a continued stock market raid with fractional declines in London and New York shares. Despite early losses, the market rallied, with Harriman and Hill stocks showing small moves while steel, especially United States Steel, helped steady prices. Extended short interest remained a bullish counterweight, and railroad retrenchment accompanied signals of improving demand in July steel statements.
