RAIL STOCKS LOWER Expected Federal Control of Coal Roads Has Effect. INDUSTRIALS VARY LITTLE Shippings Hold Moderate Gains and Metals Yield Slightly Bonds Irregular, Sales Totaling $2,870,000. NEW YORK. Aug. 20. Ralls were the only Important stocks to register more than negligible changes in today's listless mar ket. Cumulative signs of approaching Fed eral control over the coal roads resulted in further depreciation. Reading made an extreme decline of 3 points. Representative Industrials and equipments, with few exceptions, showed variations rarely exceeding a point. Shippings held their moderate gains and metals yielded slightly when quoted at all. Dealings in some of the conspicuous pool issues were restrained by the more strin gent attitude of the exchange authorities. Bonds were Irregular, the Liberty issue selling at the wider range of 99.84 to 99.96. Total sales, par value, $2,870,000. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. 500 400 200 High. 92 46 73 Low. bid.
