Stock? and Bonds.
NEW YORK, Jt .. 27.-All recent
calculations and estimates dealing
with financial and Industrial condi
tions underwent radical revision to
day ba a result of yesterday's passing
of the United States Steel common
dividend. This was seen, not only in
the weakness of the market, hut in the
general attitude ot the speculative and
Investment public.
Steel common opened at its mini
mum price of 48 and remained at that
figure throughout the feverish and
active session. In the socalled unoffi
cial market, which came Into vogue
while thc stock exchange was closed
in the latter months of last year, the
stock sold down to 43 1-2.
Steel preferred bore the burnt ot
the attack on that and allied issues,
