With the ranks of Wall street
traders depleted by the exodus from
the city for the weekend holidays,
today's stock market was an unln-
teresting and unimportant affair.
Speculation was reduced to a mini
mum and the fluctuations which oc'
Cured were of little significance.
Rather brisk buying Of the rails
marked the early dealings, this group
advancing moderately. while ,la in
dustriaIs followed along. The low
priced railroad shares and the stand.
ard dividend issues scored gains Q,
point or so. but buying power SUD
sided following the early bulge.
The bond market continued TO as
play the same vitality of inye'tment
absorption that has characterized IL
in the last few days. While business
in stocks was practically at a STAND
still. bonds were very active, WIN
sales on much higher scale than IN
recently preceding sessions. Repre,
sentative industrial shares moVeu

firmness was followed by a sagglhs
tendency. but there was no pressure
