Local market closes after price spikes ease. Brokers expect a rally as copper and steel sectors wobble under pressure. Traders monitor earnings reports and industrial demand amid shifting investor sentiment.
In yesterday's market, total New York and Boston shares traded reached 1.9 million, with U. S. Steel most active. High priced specials fell as money rates rose from 14 to 25 percent, with General Motors, Mexican Petroleum, Pan-American Petroleum, and Texas Oil all dropping from open prices. United States Steel and Bethlehem Steel held up better, while presses like Pressed Steel Car and Crucible saw gains or limited losses. News of coal miners' strike resolution briefly sparked a rally, but selling pressure dominated, and the market closed near the day’s lows.
Stocks declined sharply as losses erased much of November gains. Major drops hit leaders while U S Steel and key railway shares fell less severely. General Motors slid from morning highs after a string of high money costs and deteriorating foreign exchange conditions raised market unease.
Financial editor notes that peace fails to stabilize markets as volatility persists. He cites coal strike outcomes, potential railroad wage debates, and possible new anti strike legislation as factors shaping investor sentiment and policy expectations.
