Dull Trading Yet Prices Rally on Late Short Covering
Stock market ends the day with a mixed tone as dull trading gave way to a late rally driven by covering of short positions. Copper stocks led gains while financiers kept funds tight with call loans around 10 percent. Amalgamated, Copper Range, Parrot, Bingham, and Centennial posted modest advances amid cautious earnings and speculation. Brooklyn Rapid Transit and Manhattan moved higher on bullish talk, though some observers cautioned against concentrations of optimism. Sugar rose on short covering, while other names like St. Paul, Canadian Pacific, Louisville & Nashville, Rock Island, and Tennessee Coal and Iron posted gains. Banks remained wary of liquidity drains, keeping money scarce and rates elevated.
