'Af'0 toaay ine Riniiuaiu Biiaree, eucii
it the big trunk lino railroads, held back
.. Mr as activity was concerned, but
Bj&rcd along to higher lovcla In the early
Mlon with the Industrials. Commit
Cnin of the old lino Issues arc said to
U mall. while thoso of Industrials aro
Bh larger than usual.
r During tho early morning Steel com.
mon was a feature, being helped by lm
proved trade conditions, nnd It tvna
itfong. Realizing forced this stock down
1'ilon? with tho rest. General Motors
(withstood tho pressure against tho gen
!erl market well, being up over 2 points,
rhll8 other shares nought lower levels,
itutan American Sugar, a comparltlvely
'iMctlve Issue, was also strong and roso
lo'tr 3W points beforo noon
Buying orders appealTln larger vol
ume after midday, and atrength was
fthoivn In many Issues, while many prices
fre still off. Tho war specialties led
m the uprising, Baldwin gaining nearly
m steel rccovorcd Its loss and mounted
i half abovo yestorday'8 close. Federal
Mining and Smelting common, which
-u sensational advance in tho last few
fLvari, turned weak, nt ono time showing
fa loss of 9 points to 33, Just 23 points
II Mow tho high of GO.
K The passing of tho dividend of tho
f'Ctiapeake and Ohio this nfternoon had
TXY l'l,a .":-. ! kti- bvitctui iiiumvii
lictpt a sentimental one, an It had been
centrally expected that nothing would
fee said at this time. In anticipation of
!-jthl5 action, tho stock was weak through
'c'Jt the day, being off a good-sized frac
1 Hon at the end of tho day. There wai
i. fresh selling movement before tho final
jttll and prices went off, stocks, with
lOfflt exceptions, closing wchk.
In view of tho largo shipments of gold
.which have been coming from Canada
almost daily, tne woeKiy statement of
tts Bank of England today was par
ticularly Interesting. It showed tho ef
fect very plainly, gold holdings having
ia!len off 2.S56,000 (H,2S0,600) during the
mt. Actual holdings now stand at
84523.000 (J2S2.64S.O0O). which Is still con
siderably higher than tho same week
lut year, when tho holdings of tho
; eetal were 38.681.000 (,173,103,000). Rc-
; terres wero brought down to 19.66 per
Cent or 1-21 per cent below last week.
The almost dally drop In rates of for
' lln exchango to new low records, par
. Ucolarly on London, was checked today,
temporarily at least, but there was no
-demand for Saturday's cteamcr. Demand
iferllng camo up a U as compared with
'glow of JI76U made late yesterday after
noon, while the exchango on Paris rai
ded . xnoro was no indication that
r iicjf nuuiu remain ai any level ror a
"Mmi period More cold imports aro ex.
ypetted by the bankers here, and In the
raeanwnite every one Is waiting for tho
Europeans to take snmn nlon in
"ttrenjthen rates. To do this It Is re
ported that British bankers are consld-
" rmoine a loan in tne united states
E-hjr using American securities as col-
WeraL The scheme Is now believed
w have been definitely launched In
frxnee, and a loan from that country
.Ml be first taken up If the plan goes

BULLS STILL AT WORK
IN LOCAL SECURITIES
Sharp Advances in United Gas,
Baldwin, Cramp and Storage
Battery.
Upblddlng- of Individual Issues which
has been so prevalent of late on the
local exchange, today spread to United
Gas Improvement and Electric Storage
Battery shares;. The response came
promptly m tho shape of a Jump from
&t. last night's final figure, to abovo
in united Oas. whllo Storage was
nnhcd tip 2 points. The same house
which has been prominent In the lifting
of Cramp Shipbuilding, Baldwin and (Jen
ernl Asphalt look tho Inltlatlvo In this
Instance Thero was even an attempt
rnnde to IncluJi tho two companies In tho
now familial war order group, but the
Street was skeptical of such rather far
fotched theories, preferring to baso any
reason for a rise on the companies' pros
perity nnd tho fact that tho stocks havo
so far failed to follow tho general up
ward movement of securities. Neverthe
less. It was learned that United Qa8 Im
provement liaO closed a valuable con
tract with the Du 1'onts to supply ono of
Ita products Odlclals stated, however,
that there waa nothing novel In this con
tract, as thp company had often matlo
similar arrangements with tho Du Ponta
Cramp Shipbuilding onco moro mado a
now top, rising nearly two points, whllo
Baldwins, Lako Superior nnd tho Asphalts
all displayed firmness during the morning.
Later profit-taking appeared In Asphalt
and It reacted a trifle The principal
nellcr was a houso usually credited with
helng closo to tho management of tho
company It wna altogether n broad and
active scsBlon on tho Philadelphia Ex
chango United States Steel opened with
a burst of buovancy, but subsequently
renctcd, as did Pennsylvania. Cambria
Steel ruled firm throughout most of the
session
Lako Superior moved across 12 In tho
afternoon, gaining nbout a point on tho
purchase of moro than CO00 shares. Le
high Navigation also becamo buoyant,
rising over two points.
Ono reason for tho show of strength In
tho Industrials was tho belief expressed in
some usually well-Informed quarters that
tho Government will not appeal from tho
decision of tho District Court, which sus
tained tho United States Steel Corpora
tion on nil points of tho nntl-trust case.
Tho big subcontract for traction locomo
tives for Russia, obtained by Baldwin's,
was tho stimulating factor In that par
ticular Issue. In tho nfternoon tho Btock
was taken In hand and the Initial ndvanco
was extended over 2 points to n new high
record
The traction stocks were not affected by
tho meeting of tho Councllmanlc Commit
tee this afternoon, at which ordinances
wero drafted to regulate Jitneys. A II
censo of 23 was fixed and tho owner wilt
be required to (lie a liability bond of
$2500 Special rules will also be enforced
fixing routes, etc., ,as well as providing
for examinations for fitness to operato
machines.
