Market Heaviness and Weakness Dampens Trading
Wall Street and London show a generally heavy tone as prices drift lower after yesterday’s declines. Isolated gains fail to offset broad weakness with iron and steel and railroad equipment shares cautious, while earnings news from Ontario and Western hints at pressure from rising costs. The Bank of England’s weak bullion loss and expanded credits weigh on reserves, contrasting Germany’s stronger cash position as sterling rises and gold export hopes loom.
