EVENING LEDGER PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, MARCH 4, 1915.
CAUSED WEAKNESS
Leading Stocks Sagged in Late
Trading After Strength in
Morning.
New York Slock Sates
NEW TOlilC, March 4.-Tho lotio of the
Rtoek market today wn.i nn Irregular ono.
After tho opening, many of tho leading
stocks showing small fractional declines
from the (Inal of yesterday, thero was
soma demand for slocks from commission
houses and by sliortu anxious to cover
their commitments, and the market bo
cAhio stronir with Rohvt advances In many
shares. Many odd lot Bales were recorded,
tending to show there was some small
buying by outsiders for Investment.
Tho market became weak In the after
noon, leading Issues being oft a good-
lzed fraction from the final of yesterday,
nhd In some Instances greater losses were
ftltown. There was nn absence of de
Wand and stocks wcro offered rather
freely. Tho weakness continued until
tho close, with prices at the low for tho
day and around a point below the final
of yesterday In many of the leaders.
On tho whoio sentiment was much Im
proved throughout tho Street. Tho most
important thing from a stock market
point of view was tho adjournment of
Congress nt noon. Tho action of Congress
In passing a resolution empowering tho
President to take what steps ho deems
advisable In preserving our neutrality
while tho Europcun war Is on was favor
obly commented on In various quarters
of tho Street, and was, In some meas
ure, used as a bull argument to advnnco
prices.
There was a little broadening out In
trading, but business was generally con
fined to tho specialties, such as Heading,
Steel common and Capper. All showed
advances In the early trading, but shaded
off later, Maxwell Motors stocks still
continued strong, and the three classes of
stock each showed nn average advance of
about Hfc around midday, hut declined
In tho afternoon In sympathy with thn
rest of the list.
Selling from nbroad on tho sellers 20 lint
baBls continued each dav, but transactions
of this kind today were on a smaller
scale. The heaviest liquidation was In
Central Pacific first -Is, and the supply
seemed to come from Amsterdam, Indicat
ing that the selling is for Oermnti ac
count. Selling of this Bort did not depress
prices and what bonds wero offered found
a ready market.
In connection with the strength In Steel
In tho early trading It was rumored that
a decision In the anti-trust suit will soon
be handed down and that It will not be of
b. drastic nature.
Before noon It was announced that tho
American Steel Foundries Company had
passed tho dividend on Us stock. Tho
company has been paying dividends in
quarterly instalments of n H of 1 per
cent., or at the rato of 2 per cent, per an
num. The stock didn't open until the
afternoon, when It showed a decline of
VA at 21 on the llrst sale, later recover
ing to 25.
Last close. HIsh. Low. Cloao.

Homnnd for tho local traction stocks
continued to dominate the Philadelphia
market today. Kven tho big Pittsburgh j
bank failure exerted only a minor In- i
fluenco. There was, nevertheless, evi- t
denco of prollt-tnking In Rapid Transit t
around II. On tho other hand, Tnlon ,
Traction moved up steadily to 35, Tho fact
that tho limit Is now oft the stock appeals
to have encouraged the trading element
to make commitments, and In the last
two days more shares have changed I
hands than In several weeks. In finan
cial circles the opinion was expressed
that tho altered transit ordinance would
pass Counrlls this afternoon without n
hitch, but this did not nppear to dampen i
tho ardor of the bidders on the floor of
the exchange.
The remainder of the local list ruled
firm with small gains In Philadelphia
Electric, lhlgh Valley, Westmoreland
Coal, l.ehlgh Valley Transit, United Ons
Improvement nnd Tonopah Mining, but In
none was the trading heavy. United State
Steel nctod as If a nervous short In
terest wan endeavoring to cover outstand
ing commitments. Reports from the stool
trade are on tho whole encouraging, on
the avernco plants nre now operating
about t'O per cent, of capacity. Tho dally
nvorago pig Iron production In February
was 6!i,S13 tons, compared with G1,6SD in
January nnd 4S.S01 In December, thus
showing a stendliy expanding tendency.
In tlic nfternoon United States Steel
shares reacted In sympathy with tho
recession In New York. Cambria Steel
1017 scrip fell from P6& to 05, but tho
1016 scrip held steady. Keystone Tele
phono lost half a point, but the general
list held firm.
Although the Fourth Street National
Hank Is the Philadelphia correspondent
of tho German National Hank of Pitts
burgh, which closed Its doors this morn
ing, tlie local Institution did very little
business with tho failed firm, and finan
cial circles here are unnffected.
