Morgan Company and compared note.s. They were unanimous on one point: That the situation is present than at any time in the last three weeks.

The conviction- was general that the storm has blown over.

Pursuant to this policy was a bid late Wednesday o. 550 a share for 1,000,000 shares of Standard Oil of New Jersey. And then on Thursday, a bid was made for 200.000 shares of United S.ates Steel CorporatioT common at $150.
