Vanderbilt Cup Interest Shrinks Trading on Wall Street
New York brokers showed slim activity on the Stock Exchange as Vanderbilt Cup auto race enthusiasm drew traders away. Accounts were closed out ahead of travel to the racing grounds and political campaigns added to caution. Rail equipment stocks remained firm on reports of growing orders, helped by a drop in idle freight cars and the reuse of “bad order” cars. Bond markets held steady with total sales at par $1,404,000 and U S registered calls down slightly for the week.
