STOCKS DULL AND
LACKING IN FEATURE
Movement Was Sluggish But Clos
ing Firm; Gold Coming
In.
BY Associated Press to Every Evening

New York, June 26.-In keeping with
previous days of the week, todays short
session of the Stock Exchange was dull
and featureless. The attendance of mem
bers was unusually small and commission
houses reported an absolute cessation of
outside interest. Oils, chemicals and to-
baccos represented the prominent issues
with such rails as Union Pacific, st. Louis
and Southwestern preferred, and Della
ware 4 Hudson at gains of to > points.
Several steels and equipments also figured
in the sluggish movement The closing
Was firm. Sales approximated $4,000
shares. Exchange on London showed
no material alteration, despite further
gold arrivals from that center.
Advances and declines at the outset
were limited to the smallest fractions but
the tone improved later on moderate buy
ing of oils, steels and chemicals. Mexi-
can Petroleum, Crucible Steel and Ma
tlonal Aniline featured the better ten
dency of the first half hour. Announce
ment was made of the arrival of s., ,250.-
600 gold from South Africa via London
consigned to an international banking
house.

FRESH OUTBREAKS
OF RAILROAD STRIKE
The Only Noticeable Change Lo-
cally, However, Was on the
Reading System.

walkout did not reach serious proportions
until the eight hour trick went on this
morning. The railroad has received u
report that the men held a meeting last
night and decided 20 go back, but few of
them are expected to report today, be-
cpusc IT IS Saturday. In the Baltimore
yards the situation Is practically TN
changed. Thirty-sevcn Of the 80 crews are
working, but their ranks are filled with
about 81 volunteers from other branches
of the service, chiefly clerks and yard
masters.

definitely cleared up If the report that
the men have voted 10 return proves true
on Monday. IT may be possible to lift the
embargo at that time.
The spread of the trouble to the shops in
Baltimore and Reading. Yesterday. was
not reflected IN this city The Todd 5 Cut
