Coal and Gold Market Bugbears
Wall Street notes a sluggish market with activity under the million and a half share mark. Disappointing wage-dispute prospects for coal miners dampen sentiment amid weakness in anthracite and bituminous sectors. Gold imports begin later, foreign bankers control gold supply, and bank loan demand rises while cash inflows shrink with the season. Hill railroads advance, Union Pacific gains control of Illinois Central, and the general list rebounds intermittently before a soft close.
