The market yesterday was a dull featureless session with small net losses at close. Total New York sales 852,700 and Boston 24,482. Baldwin Locomotive led New York activity at 67,200 while Carson Hill led Boston with 3,650.
Observation of a dull market with only minor moves follows a period of rising prices since late November. After a December to January spike with call money at 15 to 2 percent, big players anticipated money loosening post year end and bought high, selling later as liquidity returned. Local shares showed small changes with some gains, while General Motors split and other firms announced or prepared equity actions.
The Financial Editor argues that stock markets in presidential years move mainly in anticipation of results and that gains do not reliably follow party victory. Data from 1896 to 1916 show prices often peak before or after elections but usually fall months later, while short interest remains hard to gauge and insiders hide market moves.
