Market Downtick and Uncertainty Plague Wall Street
Wall Street opens dull as brokers place a few orders then retreat to watch the Brooklyn handicap. Market shows no price movement, widespread uncertainty about future values, and a shift of capital into foreign government loans. London’s bullish stance provides slight support. Amalgamated, Copper Range, Daly West, Osceola and Mohawk among movers. Major notes on Copper Shannon, Old Dominion suit, and exchange closings.

Massachusetts Board of Trade Protest Against Street Railway Stock Watering
The Massachusetts State Board of Trade urges the Legislature to oppose bills that would allow watered stock in public service railways through consolidation or transfer. The protest cites Senate Bill 341 and House Bill 229, arguing they would let Western Massachusetts Street Railway Company issue guaranteed and preferred stock and potentially absorb or merge with other lines, increasing capital without new paid-in capital. It warns such action would weaken the anti stock watering law of 1894 and threaten state policy on public utilities.
