STOCKS STAGNANT;
LOCAL BONDS ACTIVE
Rapid Transit Heavy ; Cambria
Scrip in Demand Talk of
Lower Money Rates.
Weakness In United Stntea Steel and
Home of tho other nrbltrnge lesucs only
moderately nffected the purely local
atocks on tho Philadelphia Exchange to
day. Falrmount Park Transportation con
tinued to be offered for sale. It wag an
nounced that 24,600 shares of tho 40,000
outstanding hAd been deposited In favor
of the reorganization plan. This estab
lishes a majority, but additional deposits
will bo accepted by tho committee until
Fobiuary 13.
As the day progressed, business contin
ued to contract. Cambria Steel declined
a point on sales of several small lots,
whllo Electric Storage Battery fell a
almllnr amount on tho exchange of "0
shares. Philadelphia Company Scrip of
1913 sold at SO and 1016 at 90. A 12H cents
dividend wan declared by the Tonopah
Belmont Company, and the stock hard
ened fractionally. The rate was reduced
f i om 25 to 12i cents quarterly In January.
In the flnal dealings Itnpld Transit cer
tiorates sagged below 10 for the first
time, mid Philadelphia Electric also re
acted. American Itailways preforred felt
.Hi. The close was dull nnd heavy.
Bond dealings ngnln ovcrshndowed tho
trading In stocks, Besides heavy trans
actions In Cnmbrli Steel scrip, a block pf
$25,000 Philadelphia city 4s sold at 100H.
Other active Issues wero Pennsylvania
is, American Gas and Electric Cs, Spanish
American Iron 6s and United Itailways
s.
Settlement was made todny for the
Pennsylvania Railroad 119,000,000 i per
cent, consolidated mortgage bonds. Kuhn,
Loeb A Co. gavo the company n slnglo
check for the amount at par. This Is tho
largest check ever drawn for a similar
operation, and tho money will be de
posited in various banks so that Phila
delphia subscribers or participants In the
underwriting mny pny for the Bame In
Now York fundB without disturbing fno
money situation. Under the agreement
between the bankers and tho railroad,
whereby the hitter will share In any not
prollts of the syndlcnte over nnd nbovo
2V& per cent., an additional sum will be
paid to tho Pennsylvania na soon us
expenses of tho syndicate tiro all met.
'rh s ninount Is expected to bo between
$200,000 and 2G0,0O0.
Tho money market hero remains very
Innctlve. Commerclnl paper Is ruling
around I per cent., whllo call money Is
offered at 4 per cent., without finding
any demand. This Is a disappointment to
tho banks, as It had been hoped that the
reduction would enliven the market.
There Is ovnn some talk of a further cut
to S',s per cent., but thero would be very
llttlo In It for the banks at such a low
figure. Tne last time tho rate was as low
us 3Va per cent, was In January, 1912. That
figure prevailed until August, when It
advanced to 4 per cent.

When the return upon an,
investment satisfies the in
vestor, it is, in one sense,
adequate.
It may be that, even though
the investor is satisfied, the
return is not adequate to the
actual value of the property
upon which it is based, be
cause it is issued not only
upon the actual property, but
upon "good will, ''fran
