Small.
NEW YORK, Dec. 2S.-Tho attendance
on the floor of the Stock Exchange and
In the brokers' offices today was very
light and the transactions were small.
Very Ilttla Interest was shown In any
Issues, the attitude of the street In gen
eral being ft waiting one. Prices at the
opening were generally VU down from
the final on Thursday, but later In tho
morning a rally occurred and the mar
ket became strong. At no time, how
ever, w&a trading brisk, and business for
the most part was oonflnod to specialties.
The supply of stocks appeared to be small
at the present prices. The bond market
Attracted moro Interest than did Uie stock
market.

foreign exchange was purely nominal,
With cables quoted at 4.85Ha.
U. B. Steel failed to respond to the moro
favorable reports from the steel trado,

mum prlco of 48. In tho steel trade thero
aro predictions of an advanco In tho prlco
of bars, plates and shapes. Actual ship
ping orders aro sold to bo mora than
doublet those in tho corresponding period
in November. This is apart from con
tract business, of which there Is now a
large volume.
Favorable comment was mado of the
fact that the Bank of England has sold
Its first gold slnco August, the total be
ing 11,014,000. No announcement was
made of whero the gold was sent, but
It la thought that It wont to France.

as compared with tho same wcok ktst
year.
Rock Island was a strong feature, sell
ing up to 1Tb, up Hi from Thursday's
close. The low today was Tl. nt which
price it opened. The street had it that
there was a good-sized short Interest in
the stock, sales some tlmo ago having
been made on the idea that with tho
distribution of the stock of tho old com
pany the value of the stocks of tho
holding company would entirely disap

Important Influence In the markets this
week, say R, O. Dun & do. In their
weekly review of business conditions.,
December, with Its holiday Interruptions
and Inventories, Is not usually a month
for largo developments In business nctlv
tty, but the recent progress In flnnnclat
recuperation, the rapid establishment of a
big balance of trade In favor of this coun
try nnd tho rate decision Riving a largo
part of the rollcf asked for from the In
terstate Commerce Commission combine
to create a favorable sentiment In busi
ness. Reports from the leading centres, while
Indicating no Important Increase In sates
this week, aro of one accord In foreshad
owing Improvement after the new year
opens. In Iron and stool the actual out
put Is reduced by the holiday Interrup
tions, but there are a number of favor
able developments, Including prospects of
larger railroad buying.
Railroad gross earnings In two weoks
of December decreased 10 per cent., but
It Is estimated that the Eastern roads
wilt gain about (30,000,000 a year from the
advanced rates. Nothing in tho business
situation Is moro striking than the re
markable expansion In exports, the for
eign demand for wheat being so great
as to foreshadow an ultimate exhaustion
of surplus supplies, notwithstanding the
record-breaking yield this year. Big war
and other orders from no road for cloth
ing and woolens are appearing.

that stook. Tho price, however, was ad
vanced a point to 71. Naturally fluctua
tions wero devoid of much significance.
Steel remained at Its minimum figure,
but Lehigh Valley moved up over a point
on a few snles, and Philadelphia Eloctrlo
also hardened. Tonopah Belmont was tho
most active Issue.
About tho only people to be found In
brokors' offices, nsldo from the clerks,
wero a few newspaper men trying to
gather news. Brokors, however, pointed
out that the market looked to have beon
pretty well sold out on tho decline this
week and wero Incllnod to hope for hot
ter things next week. The strength of
tho nnthraclto shares was attributed to
the cold snap, which has stimulated a
brisk demand for coal. The mines this
week only worked four days and there
will be a similar holiday next week.
The Pennsylvania Ilallroad's fuel ship
ment figures for Novombor showed sub
stantial decreases from tho same period
In 1013 In bituminous and coke, but a
slight gain In anthracite The latter
totaled 1,017,9(2 tons, against 937,437 last
yoar, while bituminous shipments fell
from I,D09,375 to 3,667,333 tons. Coke de
clined from 1,223,514 to 353,412 tons.

MAYOR URGES ABOLITION
OF CITY'S GASOLINE LAMPS
Points Out How $70,000 May Be
Saved by Substituting Gas.
The delay of City Councils In passing
an ordinance which would substitute gas
for obsolete gasoline lighting systems
In several sections of tho city Is called to
the attention of the publla today by
Mayor Blankenburg In an open letter.
The ordinance, which was introduced on
March 6 last, provides for an annual
saving of 170,000 to tha city, together with
the acquisition, at the end of the gas
lease, of property amounting to 3500,000,
The Mayor urged passage of the ordl.
nance at this time because It would pro
vide work, for the unemployed.
Two thousand copies of the letter were
mailed. In it the Mayor points out that
he has tent four messages to Councils
since the Introduction cf the ordinance,
urging its Immediate passage.
The ordinance provides that the United
Gas Improvement Company shall connect
with the city's gas main system more
than 11.(00 lamps now burning gasoline,
and that this shall be done at no cost to
tho olty. The candle-power of these
lamps would be fully equivalent to those
they replace.
"The ruduotlon In price will result in an
annual saving of 14.39 for each lamp, or a
total saving of almost 170.000 a year,"
said the Mayor ia bis letter. "The ordi
nance provides that the maximum price
shall be 111 a year for the lighting of the
lamps an4 U a year for the gas con.
fumed. It U agreed between tho city and
be company that the lamps burn 3H feet
of gas an hour. They burn 400 hours a
year, which resulta In a oenjumpUon of

MOTHER SECTION
OF THE PARKWAY
TAKEN BY CI
Plan Entails Opening o an
Additional Stretch of
Ground Work Progres
sing on Improvements.
Another section of the Parkway Is now
belnjr taken by the city of Philadelphia.
Hearings aro to be held before the Hoard
of Viewer early In January. The plan
entails the opening- of a part of the Park
way between Appletree street and Xttii
street. In the 10th Ward. The ordinance
covering- the plan was approved Julf
1914.
Tho properties taken entirely In this
section are!
Nos. U5-UM1B-U1-U3-125-U7 rforth 17tU

The Friends' Solect School, Edwin P.
Sellers et al. trustees, which extend
from Cherry otreet to Race street and
from 16th street to 17th street, containing
114.03S square feet, loses a triangle on
the northeast corner of 17th and Cherry
streets, containing 530 MO square feet.
The Parkway at this point wilt be Ui
feet wide. It was authorized by ordl-'-nance
of Councils, June 8, 1909, and Waa
confirmed by the Board of Surveyor,
September 20, 1303. There is no change
of grade
The work of taking down these prop1
ertles or such aa aro In tho bqd of tho
Parkway has been assigned to con
tractors and Is now woll Under way.
Work has been commenced at the south
cast corner of 17th and Cherry streets and
Ave or six properties are nearly do.wn.
It will be recalled that this Is the sec
tion lying In the Parkway In which tho
assessments were advanced in ISIS It Is
almost the only Instance where the Board
of Revision of Taxes has advanced a
blook of properties after they have be
como part of the bed of a plotted street
or parkway. The advance did not ex
tend on Cherry street, between TSh atrot
and 16th street, and supposedly moro de
sirable for business purposes.
WOIUC WEST Ok PARKWAY.
In that part of tho Parkway lying be--twoen
the west sldo of Logan Square and
22d street workmen have been extremely
busy during the last month, tearing down
condemned properties. Nos 233 and 310
West Logan Bquaro are down. All the
properties on the south side of Vln
street, between Logan Square and 2utH
street the east side of 20th street and
the south side of Vine street, west Ht
20th street, are now coming down rapidly.
In all, some SO or 40 dwellings have
boen raised to the ground. The only
properties to be spared aro the saloons,
which have a reprieve while owners and
tenants aro trying to have the licenses
transferred.
A rather serious situation Is liable to
develop In properties on the south side
of Vine street from 2020 to 2033. These
properties are not all taken and will be
boarded up. From a real estate point
of view. It would be better to take such
buildings down at once, as by the time
the owners receive the awards there will
be little left of them.
This situation rather offsets the claim
often made by the city that portions of
buildings left in such a proceeding jnuit
be considered.

The holiday Influence Is plainly felt and
little business will be done until after the
new year. The lists of auction sales to
take place during the next few weeks are
not as large aa usual.
Interest rates are firmly held. It is.
however, the opinion of real estate men
that all money needed will be forthcom
ing and that a t per cent mortgage rale,
flat, will bo obtainable early In the ne.fr
year. LESSOR.
