Wall Street wary as London buoyancy fades
Disappointing sentiment hits Wall Street as the New York market opens firm on London highs but closes weak after bank data. Amalgamated Copper and United States Steel show small gains, while losses appear in Southern Pacific and Union Pacific amid uneven trades. Boston steel and copper shares slide late as Dominion Iron & Steel rises, and New England building contracts total nearly 129 million for the year.
