Market News from State Street and Vanderbilt Hopes
The New York market closed dull with little interest. Vanderbilts showed some strength in Lake Shore and Reading while Pacific Mail lagged. Traders plan to step back until clearer conditions emerge. silver weakness signals no radical financial changes. Lake Shore rises on dividend expectations, with Canada Southern and Michigan Central also in play and possible extra dividends. Bay State Gas sparks warlike talk as gas quality concerns spread. United States mineral production valued around 660 million dollars annually, highlighting key outputs like pig iron and copper.
