that direction when the market
opened today and accordingly the en-
tire session was merely a listless
churning affair.
BUSINESS was highly professional
throughout and the course Of the
market was devoid of significance.
The bond market was likewise dull to
a degree and about the only feature
was weakness in some of the railroad
