CAMBRIA SCRIP ACTIVE
PARK TRACTION WEAK
Suggestion to Exchange United
Water and Light Notes for
Bonds.
The trndlnn In bonds largely over
dhndowed transactions In stocks through
out the isreater portion of the sessfoit on
tfio Philadelphia Exchnnso today. City
4s sold nt 101, ft block of 110,000 bcln?
taken at that figure, Cambria Steel scrip
of 1917 was also active, advancing ncioss
96, and various other Issues of high grade
wcro In demand.
In the afternoon Cambria Scrip got
up to ?, some $15,000 worth dimming
hnnds. Thllndelphla Company Scrip of
1918 Bold At 80, whereas that ot 1916
brought 91.
Except for United States Steel there
was little doing In stocks during the
morning. Philadelphia Electric ruled Orm,
whereas the tractlcns remained heavy.
There was a disposition to belittle tho
January Itnpld Transit report, but In
conservative circles It wns regarded as
decidedly encouraging, showing that tho
mnnugement had nssumed a llrm grasp
of the problem of operating1 expenses.
Tho name Interests bought Ithpld Trans-It
ti ,ny who acquired a large block of
tho stock n few weeks ago. A Ovc-polnt
dtop In Pennsylvania Salt came as a
result of romovlng the minimum limit.
Fnlrmount Park Transportation fell to
a new low record nt Vi A meeting was
held this afternoon to discuss plans for
reorganization.
It was generaly expected that the plan
would bo declared operative. Time fot
depositing tho stock was extended until
the end of the week.
United Gas Improvement shares were
not affected by tho statement of Presi
dent Bodlnc that, In order to meet the
vlows of the, United States Department of
Justice, tho company will reorganize the
corporate control of Its street lighting
business In various cities throughout the
country. It Is understood the only criti
cism was directed against ,iome of tho
business methods used In tl.t ,ast bysomo
of tho street lighting companies controlled
by the United Light and Heating Corn
puny, In which latter concern tho United
Gns Improvement Company Is a largo
stockholder. Nono of the Government's
recent criticisms were directed nanlnet the
Wclsbnch Street Lighting Company, but
tho lnttcr will be affected with tho other
companies In the reorganization.
An echo of the failure of J. S. and 3.
W. Kuhn has cropped up tills week In
the shape of a circular from a number
of largo holders of United Water and
Light Company 6 per cent, notes, urging
their exchange par for par for collateral
trust 5 per cent, gold bonds of the Amer
ican Water Works and Electilc Company,
a concern formed from the reorganiza
tion of the fulled American Water Works
and Gunrantee Company. There are
I7,977,M0 United Water notes, largely held
In Philadelphia. The collateral behind
them consists of second and third mort
gngo bonds of various concerns through
out the country. The circular states that
the Interest received from the pledged
securities Is sufficient, so long us no de
faults tnke place, to provide funds to
pay the Interest on the notes, but theso
mature serially from 1914 to 1923, and
tho Unltod Water und Light Company
has no means of meeting the principal
except by eulo of collateral, which would
be Impossible except nt a heavy loss.
Under tho circumstances, It Is urged
that the American Water Works and
Electric Company Is In a better position
to protect t'no properties Involved thnn
committees could by foreclosures and
receiverships.
