Profit Taking Leads Industrials Rally and Rail Stocks Rise
The New York market opened with liberal profit taking but buyers absorbed early losses. Afternoon trading fueled sharp gains, with iron and steel issues rising and Delaware & Hudson posting notable strength. A final rally trimmed some gains, while the United States Trust Boston declared a 4 percent dividend. Copper shares led, with Amalgamated and Mohawk among movers as Trinity and Trinity Copters topics drew attention. Maritime and rail pass-throughs, plus notices on dividends and stock movements, filled the day’s market narrative.
