In tho course of thl week's dealings, which fre quently denoted foreign and domestlo liquidation, a number of issues of specu lative and Investment Importance de scended to tho low or minimum quota tion established by the authorities. Those Include United Stat Steel, Canadian Pa cific and Baltimore A Ohio, while other of equal or groat value hovered about their minimum prtoe.
