Profit Taking Weakens Market After Sterling Rise
After two months of steady gains amid war jitters, the market slid heavily on profit taking. A brief rally followed a rumor of the steamship St Louis sinking, denied as false, then renewed selling pushed prices to day’s lows. Foreign selling in rail securities remains sizable, with 1.518 billion par value returned and 1.185 billion still held abroad. Atchison shows strong gains and a possible higher dividend, while rails weaken as investors weigh rate rise prospects and banking influence. Ohio Cities Gas stands out with a late-day surge aided by new oil-field prospects.

Market mixed in Boston as heavy New York declines weigh on golds
The Boston market showed a mixed day with selling pressure from the New York list. Atlantic Gulf & Fruit fell with Mercantile Marine losses, copper names slipped, Butte & Superior saw little action, while Alaska Gold surged to 97 8 on heavy volume. Market talk cites big interests in zinc and a shift toward selecting richer ore. Some traders link peace talks with Russia to market declines, but banking circles doubt any effect. Local traders say after a strong rise the market is undergoing a normal pause as earnings expectations remain high.
