Deadlock in market declines in active issues
A Washington Post summary from June 13 notes a dull, heavy market with under 200,000 shares traded, the smallest day of the year and two years. Many leading stocks were not dealt in until late, with small price changes. Abroad, Paris and London were dull, with firmer discounts and gold export talk. Brazil coffee valorization troubles, Egyptian issues, and Bank of France gold holdings influence markets. Interborough-Montropolitan weakness ties to New York public utilities bill.
