The New York Evening Sun financial review today said: Although' there was no suggestion to day either in the volume of business or the movement of prices that speculation! was running into a big bull affair, many traders asserted tli market merely was jockeyirtg for position aud that with a definite settlement of the railroad la bor controversy the preponderance of favorable factors would be reflected in a sustained lorward movement. As a result quotations fluctuated within narrow limits but in a few of tho active issue substantial i mprovo ment was recorded while in the greater part of the session prices for the ma jority of stocks showed a firm under tone, despite the lack of public buying nnd efforts at times by bearish tradorH to induce liquidation. After the first burst of speed both in the course of quotations and in tho volume of businecss, quieter tendencies developed, the trailing element appar ently being uncertain regarding its own position and that of the public. Bonds were not active -but invest ment houses reported a heavier inquiry for investmbeiit issues than recently noted, especially for the short term va riety.
