Dull and Heavy Markets Touch New York and Boston
The New York market was dull and heavy with little activity as bears show little courage and bulls lack momentum. Names like Colorado Fuel and Iron, Readings, Southern Railway, Illinois Central, Norfolk & Western, Chicago & Northwest, and Union Pacific reflect a broad slide with some mixed recoveries in late trading. Amalgamated slipped while Dominion Iron and Steel fluctuated, and Boston firms showed modest gains in select issues. Money rates held firm with no stringency anticipated. major broker movements included Townsend Anthony & Tyson forming after Hayward & Townsend split.
