Stock Market Slides Then Rallies Amid Diverse Pressures
The New York stock market fell through much of the week as adverse factors weighed on prices. Railroads carried losses from July results, drought damage hurt grain and cotton lines, and New Haven faced pressure after the Wallingford wreck and an anti trust suit with Reading. A late turn up occurred as Union Pacific offered Southern Pacific stock, copper shares gained with metal prices, and Morgan & Co signaled contract termination with New Haven but the rest of the market stayed subdued. Stocks at ports and inland towns showed mixed, with a tentative late-session uplift and continued uncertainty ahead of the Tuesday crop report.
