Midvale Steel listed on New York Stock Exchange. . , NEW YOItK, March 29. Nearly nil tho speculative Interest In today's stock market wns centered In a number of specialties, flie leading Industrials nnd railroads being company lively nulet nnd prlco movements In Issues llko U. S. Steel common wero con fined within nn unusually narrow range. Tho two stocks Sinclair Oil and Mlilvnlo Steel which were transferred from tho Curb becauso of being admitted to the list by tho governors last night, weru prominent nil through tho day's trading. Sinclair Oil advanced 5!i to C9i and held most of this gain nil "through tho day, but Midvalo Steel sold down 1 point to 694, and after a moderato rally closed with Ilttlo net change. Wilson & Co., which had been strong slnco tho beginning of the week, mado an advance of 6 points to 83. American Hldo and Leather issues wero stiong In tho forenoon, both tho common nnd preferred moving up 2 points, while American Malting dropped 2 points. Tho railway Issues wero comparatively quiet, nnd after trifling advances yielded to below yesterday's final prlco. United States Steel common sold down s to 114, advanced to 1154 nnd then lost most of this gain. Theso movements were followed by nearly tall tho important Industrials, with few of tho leading stocks showing much not chango at tho close. Tho various movements, notably In tho specialties, wore duo to outsldo buying, tho room traders taking Ilttlo part In tho day's transactions. Some of tho leading boardroom operators stated that they were not disposed to tako n positive position until after they wero fully Informed as to tho speech of tho German Chancellor, which was scheduled to bo released lato this afternoon. A feature of tho foreign exchnngo market was tho suspension of dealings In rclchsmarks. Tho leading Institutions nnd bankers dealing in German exchnngo said that tho fact that wireless messages aro subject to indefinite delay compelled them to withdraw from tho market, ns they had no knowledgo of when tho messages would bo delivered, and In tho event of a wldor rupturo on April 2, before tho messages were transmitted, tho exchango operations could not bo completed. Thero was lively trading In many of tho bond Issues, with Poro Marquetto Cs showing a strong tone and advancing to 05. Chesapeako and Ohio Cs were also strong and fractionally higher. Anglo-French 5s ranged from 92 to 92!,. BUSINESS BECOMES SMALLER ON CURB; GOLDFIELD STOCKS ATTRACT INTEREST NEW YORK, March 29. Thero was a falling off In business on the Broad Street Curb, Indirectly due to tho fact that two of the most Important stocks In that market, Sinclair Oil and Midvale Steel, were transferred to tho New York Stock Exchange. This left tho market without two established leaders and mado tho tone generally variable nnd prlco movements Irregular. Some Interest was attracted to the Goldfleld stocks, and business In those Issues, which are designated as "penny shares," was at times extremely large. The copper stocks were fairly active, with somo Issues showing a strong tone. INDTJSTIIIAI.S INIinPKXnnST Oil, STOCKS Continued ma. Yps. close.
