Actio trading in the shares of the Ameiicnn Ship and Commerce Cor pointion was the renlurc of the early fcvMira. The first Rale of this stock was nt ."flVi with n quick advance to XWi, nt which figure it was three points 'nboe last night's close, but failed to 'hold nt the ndrnrlcc price throughout ' the dnj. A snle of 40 shares of Cramps i wns made at 170, oft C points from last ' close. After a totiple of busy hours In the I rnrh 'pnit of the bession, interest . seemed to drag, and quotations, with slight fluctuations, held nenr recent levels. The noticeable slackening In the volume of trading gave evidence of the absence from the city of many traders and investors. Heading was the only one of the rail road group to make an advance, al though Pennsylvania led the list in matter of sales, the price ranging from 43V6 to 43. Steel was heavy and at one time ,was off 2; Lake Superior also showing a decline. ' The greatest decline of the day wns made by General Asphalt preferred when, in the late afternoon, n block nf 100 shares sold at 111, a drop of 8i.1 The common reacted ton small sales to 75, a loss of a point.
