Stock Prices Firm as Exchange Closes After Explosion

Trading in New York stopped minutes after noon due to the Wall Street explosion. The Consolidated Exchange also suspended. Oil and rails led gains with widespread strength in other sectors. 375,000 shares traded and first-call funds steady. Local market showed little change after New York’s closure.

Market changes muted by New York explosion report

Stocks in heavy trading show little reaction to the New York explosion with Allied Chemical and Dye consolidations eyeing 6 percent preferred and a $12 per share common value. Rail freight delays and rate adjustments cloud short term gains while Pierce-Arrow reports solid cash and a 4.09 earnings per share.

New York Stocks Mixed Across Broad Exchange Board

Major equities show varied moves with steel and mining names leading gains and utilities and banks lagging as market breadth remains uneven. Notable firms include Bethlehem Steel, General Motors, Union Pacific, Pan American Petroleum, and Reading among others as investors weigh industrial demand and energy prospects in a volatile session.
