The market, hem up wen until a icw vrtfnutes before close, when It sold off. KBome Issues went below the nnal yestor Fday, bdt the I.jSScs were not great and (for the most part wore confined to frnc- ,Uoru. Particularly weak fcaturcB wero Read- ttnr and Lehigh Valley and the copper 'jtocki.

'' There appeared to bo a lame shirt Inter est in tne meet ;uuvnt, uuiiueiicui iiiid United States Steel common and In Hoad nr, and these stocks wero tlio moet no- , jive. These stocks grew strong on cover- yesterday. Tho Incoming business of tlio steel Corporation la understood to be i about 5,000 or 30,000 tons, a day, whllo tho &1 ..II.. I i nrtfl . n n. UlllllUfl tO W.UVH ,UUO IV WUjI Tennessee copper was a wean reature. Tho decllno In this lsauo caused n re vival of rumors that President Philips '.had liquidated or greatly reduced his holdings ana mat control or tne company tests In tho hands of the peoplo lackln? the nnert knowledira of the Connor trade. lt must bo remembered, however, that f with tho probability of a smaller cotton acreage this year, the sulphuric acid con tract of the company this year will not 'be. as profitable as heretofore. f Tho foreign exchnngo market was I' "easier at tho opening todny. Nothing has t.a yet been heard from England on the "establishment of n big credit here, and .bankers nro of the opinion that tho ilrot C steps looking to tho formutlon of n credit ,"flhould be taken by bnnkcrs abroad. That " something of this sort will be done seems '.very probable. It Is pointed out In somo BJp.'uartcrs that Kngland may poll her securities hero In order to put exchange Yates hnck mi n nnrmnt hunlR. nnd Mint Pforelgn holders of our securities may sell Tiomo of their holdings.

Northern Pacific prior 4s wero sold In rather large amounts under this arrange ment, but offerings were readily absorbed .and the prlco raso 2 to 92.

Tho oona maritet was given moro nttcntlon than tho stock market In tho late trad ing, but It was not active An outstanding weak feature was Dela ware, Lackawanna and Western, which dtppcd 0 points, to 410V4 from tho last previous sale.

V Oh tuuy Vt f Yorlc Rwy T RISE IN RAPID TRANSIT ON LOCAL EXCHANGE Passing o Harwood Electric Preferred Dividend Fniled to Affect Lehigh Navigation. About the only outstanding fenttire of tlio trading on the Philadelphia Stock Ex chantjo today was the demand tor Rapid Transit. It was nrftued that tho action of Councils In tylnr; the Joltcr to tho trnnslt ordinance would causo consider able delay In tho Rcneral traction plan and that, there tote, the company would not bo required to raise additional funds In tho near future, Whothor this argu ment would stand a scnrohlnc test or not nt all events tho floor traders used It ns nn excuse to buy the stock for n turn, and a fractional advance resulted. In usually well-informed quarters It wns stated todny thot tho Itapld Transit innnntrcment had dcOnltely decided to sit tiKM and taka no part whatever in tne now' subwny-elevated systems, but let the city ro ahead and build and operate them. Or lease them to any ono It may seo nt, It was asserted that knowtedffo of this decision, ntid not the Counoll mnnlo action, was tho real bnsls for tho recent buying of Itapld Transit. Some rntho,r Important holdings havo changed hands Blnfcc tho beginning of tho year. Bhort' covering In United States Steel caused a rise In that Issue. On tho other hand, Storage Battery cased oft. Phil delphla Electric wns quoted ox-dlvldend except for ensh. United Oas Improve ment scored a fractional gain. There was quite active trading In bonds at Intervals, notably In Pennsylvania His when Issued and Cambria Btcel scrip. Tho latter casod off. Wclsbach Bs wore In demand and bo were City s. In the lato trading American Gas sold off to 10O, compared with 102M at the close last night. Electric. Storage Battery re covered Its earlier loss, whllo tho two Lehigh Valley Transits scored substan tial fractional declines. Tlio cIobb was very quiet, with tho arbitrage group undor modernto pressure. United States Steel eacgert below 42. Tho passing of tho Harwood Electric preferred dividend was not altogether un expected. It was explained thnt the com pany had a floating debt of about I100.000 which It had been unable to refund, mid that the directors thought It tho wisest policy to conserve all cash resources. A year ngo 3 per cent, wan paid, hut six months ago the dividend wns postponed. Lehigh Navigation shnreo wero unaffected mnrketwlse Tho Lehigh Navigation Electric Com pnny, a subsidiary of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company, purchased lu 1913 tho Pnrdeo holdings of Harwood Elec tric stock, which was a majority Inter oat. This wns common stock, and no dividends have been paid on It. Thero Is only a comparatively small nmount of tho preferred, and It Is scattered nmong Investors, so that tho passing of the dividend does not vitally affect tho parent companies other than In the fact thnt It will have to be paid beforo any divi dends can bo declnrcd on the common.
