Stock Market Dullness Complaint as Rally Wanes
New York trading opened with heaviness and little activity across most issues. Union Pacific stayed around 55 with fair turnover, while Brooklyn Rapid Transit, Sugar, and Atchison showed limited movement. Co B and Q slipped under 125, St. Paul edged only fractionally. Boston saw sparse trades and notable price changes. Analysts foresee a lower market, citing China news and overseas weakness. Some investors plan to buy steel on dips and Sugar on declines, with a possible 3 percent extra dividend for Sugar owners at the next meeting. US Oil rose to 19 on expectations of consolidation among major oil firms. Central Mass stock attracted buyers near 24, reflecting expectations that railroad regulators won’t permit a low sale to Boston & Maine.
