Dull Boston Stock Market With Limited Bond Sales
Trading in Boston remained flat as bonds led activity while stocks barely moved. Total board sales reached 95,767 bonds and 3,283 shares, with railroads and telephones among the notable classes. Analysts warn of possible price declines unless heavy speculators adjust positions amid widespread market skepticism and talk of railway stock overvaluation.
Wall Street Opens Weak Then Rebounds Late On Bull Buying
Money rates steady near 2 percent on call and at 4 percent on long. Government and railway bonds hold firm while stocks drifted lower at midmorning, then rallied toward the afternoon as buyers supported leading names like Union Pacific and New York Central. By close, the market steadied with some gains amid renewed bull interest and a total of 402,200 shares traded.

Baltimore and Ohio proposals promote manufacturing growth
President Robert Garrett issues a circular to boost local business along the Baltimore and Ohio system. Concessions include half-rate transport for household effects and building materials for manufacturing dwellings, free transport for families of first occupants, and favorable commutation rates for marketed goods. Stations and facilities expansion planned as settlements grow, with emphasis on suburban and small towns under 10,000 residents and notices sent to manufacturing and land building outfits to correspond with the railroad’s second vice president. Other rail lines report mixed earnings and evolving rate strategies, while belt-tightening and legal actions loom over government settlements.
