Reading common on the stock market,
on Monday, that the movements OF the
stockmarket are inexplicable. and that
he would not have been surprised TO
see 1t take an upward turn had the
decision been the other way.
As a matter of fact. he said. that is
Just exactly what would have happened.
Wall street has been buying Reading
for many weeks past in anticipation Of
the decision and holding IL over Mon.
days. the day on which Supreme Court
decisions arc handed down, on the belief
that any decision, no matter what il
might be. would be construed as bullish
on the stock.
He said that. unlike the Pennsylvania
Railroad stock, which is widely dis
tributed and is becoming more so each
year, Reading common stock is closely
held. This. he remarked. was evident
on Monday when prospective purchasers
were Obliged to bid sharply for the
stock.
