lt must bo remembered, however, that

'be. as profitable as heretofore.

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.

RESERVE BANKS AS TRUSTEES
Special Legislation Will Be Necessary
in Pennsylvania.
According to tho opinion Riven by
Parker S. 'WIlllnmH, us counsel for tlio
Fcdernl Reserve Bank ot Philadelphia, It
will require additional leqlalntlon In I'onn
Mylvunln, New Jeraey and Delnwnre for
tho nntional banks In those States to take
ndvnntngo of tlio Kcdcral Hcaorvo Hoard
rulliiR pormlttltiB them to net as oxecu
tora nnd trustoeH, claaaes of business now
limited to trust companies.
Tho opinion In pnrt sets forth that: "Aa
to the eligibility of national bnnks to net
aa trustee, executor nnd rcglstrur under
the laws of Pennsylvania, Now Jeraey
ami Delaware. I nm of the opinion that
pLjuost thore, la sufficient- doubt on the
question to render epnbllng legislation
necessary In each Stato beforo n national
bank could net in any of tho capacities
referred to, except that of registrar."
It to the consensus among bankers of
this city that none of the national bnnks
f Philadelphia, or In other large cities,
will want tq nynll themselves of trtiat
company "bowem: hut the imnefli nt vn.
Ing nationnt pank,a with 'such businoss
authority In small communities, whoro
both a national bank and a trust company
cannot bo supported, Is generally rccog.
