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.
