Stock Market News Shows Quiet Morning Trading
The market opened dull with little follow through after Price McCormick and Co failure. Sugar rose from 113% to 115% then 114% as cotton remained feverish and stocks steadied.

The Boston and Maine declared a 1 1/2 percent dividend, July 2 to holders of record May 31, amid broader optimism about market resilience.
