Stocks Promise Nominal Activity as Industrial Liquidation Persists
Trading in leading stocks was largely nominal with continued liquidation among recently pressured industrials. New Haven firmed, Rumely hit a new low, Sears Roebuck rose from a dip, and Railway Steel Spring advanced on dividend resumption. Call money rose to 5 1/2 per cent while time money held easier. The market paused for Easter with short covering as the exchange shut for two days. Bonds showed irregular behavior with $1,150,000 par value traded.
