No particular explanation wns forthcom

ward T Stotesbury returned to town to
day and will doubttess confer with the
Mayor over tho traction situation this
week
The Fobruary report of tho lUpld Tran
sit Company crented a favorable Impres
sion. Tho deficit was cut from 1120,113
a jcar ago to J50.J90 Tor the eight
months thero was a surplus of M,3S0,
against HS9.017 last year
Pennsylvania Salt sharei were In
strong demand, moving up from 84U to
8! on odd-lot purchases by Investors who
regard tho stock as cheap at tho prevail
ing prices. Westmoreland Coal wns ac

terests close- to the company that tho
annual report will show an unusunll

product Is chlofly gas coal and It has

Late In tho day Qcnoral Asphalt pre
ferred was lifted ll4 to CI and Cambria
Steel also Improved. Lehigh Xavlgntlnn
recovered from an earlier setback an 1
Elcctrlo Storage Battery also dlsplnyi d
strength, but the volume of transactions
all around was exceedingly light. Phila
delphia Traction eased off fractionally
and Tonopah Belmont was quoted ox
dividend Bond dealers were complaining today of
tho slackness In their business Profits
inre said to be smaller than In cars, de
spite n fair olume of sules. Demand
chiefly centres a.ound the highest grade
issues, man of which, having been hold
abroad, weio eacrlllced at ielatiely low
prices nnd picked up by American In
vestors. Second grade bonds oro very dif
ficult to market at present, but them
continues to be a good demand for short

Theodore N. Vnll, iircslJont of tho

says Unit In his opinion tht, United Stnton

Jlr. Vnll sn further-
"Thero Is a Inch of conslstencj In tho

"Tho entire public, working o.-. Invest

tho public oi or remained complaisant
when brought face to faco with disturb
ance, uncertainty and uncinploment,
caused by too drnttlo netlon or too rndli.nl
legislation upon economic conditions or
Industrial enterprises?
' Control nnd rtsulatlon can becomo do

can through decreases ot lntxperlenced

unnecessary expenditure upon corpora

Into operation. Demands of labor for In
creased wages nnd ohoitct hours, and do

Mr. Vnll holds that there things should

Ia nnntMlr. nn. r.nmnnQn.3 rt llm tnd.t
able nnd experienced men to bo obtained
TYPE OF COURT NEEDED.
"To reap tho greatest benefit ftom both
courts and Judges," he sajs, "they should
be o sufficient number to aold all dclaj
and give each question a prompt hearing
and decision The Judges should huve a,
sufficient tenure of office to enable them
to become familiar with the questions
,upon which they hao to pass, and with
the practice, tho precedents and economic
laws controlling them. And above all, if
there oro to bo courts of commerce or
commissions, then the settlement of all
matters which have been referred to such
courts by the Legislature should be left
to them
"It Is for the public," he, declared, "to
combine to encourage, support nnd sus
tain all theso courts, commissions and the
Judges and members of commissions, and
abovo nil to abandon condemnation of ull
conclusions when they differ from selfish
desires or opinions based on one-sided nnd
Insufficient Information "
Mr Vail sajs that although great
progress hns been made In placing tele
phono wlros undei ground, the tlmo is v
long way off when all wires will bo under
ground. The number of stations of the
Dell system In the United States nt tho
end of the last ear was 8,048.903, an In

Values
Every investment Is re
garded as having two values
-Actual value and Market
value.
The first is real, the second
is artificial.
The first represents tan
glble assets, the actual cost ol
the property, The second is
the result of outside in
fluences and unproductive
elements.
Actual value is the only
unqualifiedly sound basis for
INVESTMENT,
Market value ia SPECU
LATIVE. Our offerings are based
upon actual value; unproduc
tive elements are not factors,
Our booklet is instructive
on this point.
