The New York market last week showed dulness with little direction for trading. Tight money fears and a Japanese loan threaten gold supply, while crop prospects keep railroad stocks uneven. Copper stocks gained in Boston amid muted activity, and a spring demand for non-taxable home railroad investment stocks may extend into May.
