Market Letter Notes Stagnation and Hope for January Upswing
Pettigrew, Bright & Co report complete stock market stagnation with little trading on Thursday. Money is plentiful and per capita circulation is $31, the highest in the nation’s history, yet buying looks unlikely. Northern Securities case, shipbuilding disclosures, and Boston gas probe weigh on sentiment. In Boston UTah and American Woolen show some strength. Mass. Gas and Copper Range soften due to mining news. A modest rebound is seen after early next month unless unforeseen events occur. Michael Lennon of Harvard Street buried at Calvary Cemetery after service at St Mary of the Annunciation. John Whoriskey, Miss McCarthy, and row molders’ union members attend. Burial in Calvary. Raymond, Central Square.
