Ur trend which lie chardoter.d the
Mock market for the lnt evcffll davit
tvaa again In effect today, althulnth the
toiie wa much better than cftenliy. A
fcood Impression mm created by the
Ptech or President Wlloon lt nlRht, In
which lio announced, himself ns fmorlns
all amendment to the ontl-truiit law that
vtoulrt provide co-operation anions: ex
porter In developing fore'Rti trade.
The market reron'ncd Irleitular to the
tloej ome stocks, notably Iteailln
Southern Pacific, Pnimlvrila and t'tnh
Oopptr rloelnir at low points for the day,
white other stock ended at tlulr IiIkIi.
United State Steel common now ap
pears to be firmly established as n non
dividend pnjer. Today, b srllltrr nl 41fc.
it fetched tne h'vhcat point elnce the
passlntr of the dividend It Inter Fagrted
o(T to last hlght'i final, JM,. Tho talk In
the tteel (rado Is for better conditions
In the near future, The Steel Corporation
n January received ordera at the rate of
M.OW to SO.OM) fona a day. The plants
of Jhr coi potation re now operating
t rjDout 15 per cent, of capacity. It Is
expected that the impelled tonnage state
ment nil! uliow an Incicase of more than
1W.0OJ tons.
Virtually all of the bit: trunk line rail
toada, after hlttlmr higher levels In the
early trading, sagged off from the high.
Canadian rnclflc made the heavlent loss
The poor earnings statement of the road
and or the fourth week of January prob
ably has mora to do with the decline In
the price of the stock than foreign selling.
A great dea) of credence was glon die
teport that the dividend on Canadian
Taclflo would be cut at the meeting of
th directors In Montreal next week.
On some selling American Sugar Ite
flnlng sold donn and was the weakest
Issue- In the market. At one time In the
afternoon the pi Ice was off t points at
163. bU,t later on tupportlng orders It re
covered some of Its loss. American Beet
Sugar was also weaker. This Is exactly
opposite tho position of the sugar market
n.t present, prices being higher
There wB a rumor In the street that
the American Sugar running Compnnj
made large contracts for delivery last
j ear. but In filling them It last 44.000,000
or (3,000,009 on account of the Inability
to get raw sugar at a favorable price
lec
About the strongest stock on the l'st
was Bethlehem Steel common Many
people In the street believe that It Is onl
question of time before the stock will
b placed among the dividend poeri, and
Its strength today was thought to be
based on this. The street Is also tulkln-.-about
dividends on Studebakcr and Amer
ican Cotton Oil.
' The only active feature) In the bond
market was the now consolidated -Hi per
cent, bonds of the Pennsylvania Railroad
''when Issued," JliU.UX) being sold during
the day ut 101J4 and 104. closing at flie
fotmer figure, which is unchanged from
iterday.

AN atlequale power supply is a valu
f able asset for any community, but
it should not only be adequate it
must also be reliable and economical
Tlieie three esientials are eliaracteritlic
of Philadelphia Electric Power Service, and
explain why many of the most prominent
manufacturing eitablishments in the city
have ceased to operate their own power
plants and have contracted for our service.
Electric Light and Power are a necewity
in every modern place of business, which is
only another way of saying that traj such
