COOLEV, Associated Press Financial Writer. New York, March 10. (IP) Stocks eased slowly and Inconsequentially in a reduced turnover Thursday. Bond trading also slackened, but firmness characterized dealings in that market where most of the security price strength is now centered.

Share transactions had a highly professional appearance. Unable to move leaders more than fractionally, bullish operators switched to a few special issues but were not aggressively interested ever in those. A slight sag appeared after noon following publication of a rather disappointed United 6tates Steel tonnage statement, made a partial recovery and then dipped again, closing with an average fractional loss. Sales totaled 1,048,750 shares. The day's most striking news came after the markets were closed and was provided by the weekly federal reserve bank statistics.

Currency circulation dropped $39,000,000 in the last week, a larger than seasonal decline, and one which was immediately associated with the antihoarding campaign. Although some of the month-end funds would normally have returned to the banks during this Interval, the large drop, bankers said, undoubtedly reflected marked progress toward the reemployment of funds. There was no element of surprise In the Bank of England's rate reduction to 4 per cent. Great Britain apparently believes there would be advantages in further piling -up of foreign funds at London, on the theory that since such balances would be subject to sudden withdrawal their presence might be embarrassing. Sterling reacted sharply.

United States Steel's backlog fell 102,521 tons last month, which was a somewhat larger loss than had been anticipated. NEW YORK BONDS New York, March 10. (ff) Follow ing are the closing quotations on bonds at the New York stock ex change Thursday: V. S. Liberties.

PRICES OF COPPER SOFTEN THURSDAY New York, March 10. (JP) Copper prices softened Thursday, despite re ports that international producers were practically in agreement regard ing the further reduction of output to around 20 per cent of capacity. A limited tonnage of the metal was offered abrcad during the day at 6V4 csnts a pound, a decline of 4 from previous sales. At the same time the "official" price of Copper Exporters still stands at 64 cents a pound. While the demand was light, copper for domestic shipment was available at 6 cents a pound in moderate tonnage, and some second-hand spot was offered as low as 54 cents.

Customs smelters, however, were unwilling to sell much metal. BANK OF ENGLAND REDUCES DISCOUNT RATE 1 PER CENT London, March 10.
