Steel stocks, which have helped lead the market up for the past two months, turned about last week and led it down again. All major steel issues sagged badly, from Armco's slide of 3! points to Youngstown Sheet & Tube's dip of gf. The main reason was a sudden pessimism, largely touched off by a gloomy steel report front-paged in the Wall Street Journal, and sent over the Dow-Jones ticker, which said that demand is disappointing and inventories are building up too fast.

Lawrence explains with magnets and diagrams how he invented the cyclotron...
...future health of the nation depends. Though new business starts were 14% higher than 1955, business failures increased even more-to 17%. At year's end a major test case filed by the trustbusters to block the merger of Bethlehem Steel (No. 2 steelmaker) and Youngstown Sheet & Tube (No. 6) gave businessmen hope that the courts would lay down a new philosophy to guide the growth of the giants as well as protect the midgets...
