Although tho iitreet expressed the cus tomary Bkoptlclsm this mornlns when ru mor begnn to float Around that the long talked of Koyatono Telephone-PhllndcV-phla Electric conduit deal was about to bo announced, tho actions of the two stocks gave evidence that something was In the wind. Tho actual news of tho signing of tho leaso on a basts of $100,000 did not come out until tho market had closed, but both Issues' showed strength all day, while Kcystono preferred rose a point and the bonds lVi. Weakness in the anthracite stocks was about the only other feature of an other wise quiet session. Poor earnings, coupled with the sharp fall In coal shipments reported In these columns yesterday, were tho chief factors In tho decline. It was pointed out that neither Lehigh Valley nor Heading had been earning their divi dends in recent months, nnd vague rumors of poaslblo reductions nccompanlcd the recession. In tho lato trading tho rise In United States Steel helped Cambria as well as stiffening the coal stocks, so that the close was qulto firm except for a two point reccealon In American das. Considerable interest attached to the opening In rtapld Transit shares. The re moval of the minimum limit on both classos ot stock this mornlnir naturally created somo apprehension. Traders were reluctant to commit themselves, and tho result was that neither issue appeared on the tape until around noon, when 100 shares of the trust ccrtlflatcs sold at 10. Later both Issues roso to 10H- It Is1 hoped that tho cntlro Itapld Transit situation will bo cleared up at tho conferenco to be hold tomorrow be tween tho Councils committee, Director Taylor and others. The minimum limit on Baldwin Locomotivo was reduced to 23, but tho Block held around 30. Phila delphia Company's limit was also cut to 32Ti. With the retirement of $60,000 emergency currency by tho Sixth National Hank this morning, the entire amount outstanding in this city has been canceled. This Is only another indication of tho steady Im provement In the local money situation. Hates continue practically unchanged, with plenty of funds offering, both on tlmo and call, and commercial paper quoted generally below 4 per cent. Local bankers do not look for any further material recessions. They say now that business and trade is showing Blgns of rovlvlng and that If anything like a real Increase In activity appears tho de mand for funds from commercial sources will prevent any further decline In rates. In fact, with the spring they say It would not bo surprising to sco money stiffen. NEW YORK BOND SALES .,. . . ., ... High. Low.
