See-Saw Market Reflects Mixed Equity Moves
A Boston driven see-saw market throughout the day saw declines offset by advances in various stocks yet overall price movement remained narrow. Highlights include rumors of Standard Oil influence on American Sugar Refining, tentative dividends and bids on Centennial and Pioneer, with related notes on Boston United Gas, Bay State Gas, and railroad finances. The week closed with modest activity across bonds, city loans, and West End rights, amid ongoing commentary on water supply and milling operations.
