Till sale now clofea tho itiortrtano which
whb ninde In 183 mid lllnltcd to 100,000,COO.
Tho new honda were ituoted on the OUll)

Aside from this mid tho miiiouneeiiieitt
ot thfc reBiilnl- dividend oil t'ciinsytvnnlit
stock, t'lillndclMHn's rtttontlotl wns con
ceitrnlcd on the brenk In Wnll Street.
Tho locnl market reflected thn decline
In New York this mornliiB nnd most of
tho nctlvo lenders sitftornd recessions
laiiBlnft frottl n. fraction to a point or
over. Ill several instances minimum
limits prevented mure- oxtciislvo breaks
notably In rtnpld TrnttRlt, Union Trac
tion nnd, of, course, United Htntcs sltfel.
Cmpbrln Steel fell 2 pointo nml nt 0110
tlmo Klectrlo ltftttcry not ns low hs 4T"-t
compared with 13. Inst nlclit's closhiK
price. Later part of this loss was re
covered and support was pvldcnt throUBh
out tho list nl the lower levels.
With tho problem of the United States
Steel dividend settled, the tlnnnclnl dis
trict awaited with pome anxiety tho ac
tion of tho Pennsylvania ltnllraritl bonrd
or directors nit tho ipuirtorly disburse.,
liltnl. This wns nntiouiiccd shortly nftor
1 ij'cluck at the l'ORtilnr li pot cent, per
nnnuin into, nnd tliercnftcr tho local
market quletcl down mid became fetendy.
The action of Pennsylvania stock was
Rood. Comparatively Utile wns of
fered and thero seemed to be support nf
considerable magnitude nrotiilil C3. On
t'no other hand Lohlsh Valley and Head
ing were weak and Lehigh Nnvi;ntliiii
also suffered modernlcly, toRothcr with
l'hiladlphi.i Company, l.chltrh Volley
Transit preferred, Ylirk Itnllwiys pre
ferred, Bahlwin Locomotive preferred
nnd Phllndelphla Klcctrlc.
An Interesting bit of news was tho
statement that tho Kalians, Nntural Oas
Company, a sitbsldlttry of the United
Has Improvement Oolnpnny. would ask
permission to increase Its rates to con
sumers. The receivers stato the company
cannot meet Its obllBntlons with tho
present jiilccs tlxed by the city. United
;.'is shares held very well todny In vlow
of tho general depression.
No sales of International Smokeless
Powder occurred, hut thn stock which sold
ycstcidny over tho counter ftt 31 was offer

Hon to stockholders. Tho vote to lhiuldnte
cannot bq, tttkclt without "0 days' notice,
so It will not coino up at tho annual meet

nuldatlni; valuo of the stock will have tc
bo reached by appraisement. Tho not as

for $CCO,O0O. leaving only $1,100,000, for tho
1S0.OOO shares of common, or something
less than $10 a share. Hut slnco that time
