Tho buying of Itapld Transit which net In .lust before the closo on Tuesday wofl continued this morning, tho price mlvancliiff steadily until It touched 11. Hero tho supply was sulllclcnt to check further prowresg upward and the stock closed a nluulo below tho best Chandler llrothcis wero nuuln tho prin cipal purchasers, but In explanation contented themselves with statins' that certain of their customers regarded tho slock ns chenp at rjolng quotations. Mean tlmo Cnlon Traction bcRim to show sIbiis ot life nnd for the ilrat tlmo In weeks dis played a disposition to ndvanco above Its minimum limit. Tho Mnyor's reply to Mr. Stolcsbm-y was not regarded ly the street us so Important In Itself, but the Beticinl light over tho transit plans, It is thought, will probably end In some com promise more ndvantngcous to tho com pany. There Is ono -vory stronK argument against the present proposition and that Is the possibility of a hlghor tax rate. In the afternoon Philadelphia Traction fol lowed tho example of the other transit shares, moving Into higher territory. After the closo of tho market nnn unce. merit was made that all restrictions would be removed on Union Traction shores tomorrow. This la the most en couraging development thnt has occurred on the lical Kxchnngo for somo tlmo ns the slock hns been regarded ns one of the weak factors In tho financial situa tion here on account of its being held In considerable amounts as collateral as well as for Investment purposes. Tho fact that the committee, which Is In closo touch with tho financial Insinua tions, mv Its way clear to remove the limit created much favorablo comment among the trading element. Tho Philadelphia market, a a whole, broadened out moderately, but asldo from tho tractions thero wero no material fluctuations except a further drop of 2 points In Ilaldwln preferred, duo to tho lowering of the minimum limit from 07 to 3. United States Hteol led the nrbltngc group In point of strength nnd nctivlty. Heading mado practically no response to the January report of earnings. The com pany shov ed a falling off in business, ns compnred with the corresponding period a year ago, to a rather greater degree than it did In Decembor, November nnd earlier r. onths. Heading's anthracite shipments in January, 1015, were about 23 per cent, less than In January, 1014, and so marked a dlftcrenco was bound to affect tho receipts of the railway. This was In direct contrnst to tho January earnings of tho Lehigh Valley Ilallroad, which mado consldcrablo gain In both gross and net. The production of tho Philadelphia and Heading Coal and Iron Company In Feb ruary amounted to 69.1,000 tons, against 7,000 In February, 1311, a decrease of D3.000 tons.

In the Inter trading, however, thero was somo buying nnd prices mlvnticerl, May closing nt U.44H, up 2 cents, nnd July $l.lji, tip i cents. Thero wns also somo little demand for export.

The value of the invest ment depends in the main upon the purity of the source. Purity at the source of a security means that every dollar you pay for it is rep resented by actual value in the property and is used IN THE BUSINESS. To be pure, the source must not be diluted with "future earnings," "good will," "franchise," "econ omies" or any other elements of "estimated value." The REAL VALUE must be there. It is of such a source that our booklet treats. It is yours for the asking.
