Commission Jurisdiction over receiverships
'of common carriers will bo proposed at

This legislation will provide that no

plication has been made to the commis
sion, and the latter has Investigated tho
peed and causes for such action. All
parties interested In the carrying corpora
tion aro to have ample opportunity to
express their vieB.
This move Is the result of tho Interstate
Commerco Commission's Investigation
Into the finances nnd physical condition
pf tho Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific J

cate alleged thut the Moore-Reld-Lecds
syndicate forced tho road Into a receiver

Wldo fluetuntlons and unusually brond
Block Hxohnnge toda lke Superior
and Hlcctrlc Storalto Iiattcry were fea
tures of Interest, the former suddenly
coming to life In the closing dealings and
moving up about a point on quite heavy
demand.
In the morning Storage ltattery wns
tho centre of Interest The opening quo
tatlon of T' was 1V4 nbop lnt night's
cloe, but the price quickly receded on
ptollt-tnklng sales. At going quotations
the vleld on the stock Is approximately 6
per cent , and there I talk of possible
raising of the dividend from 4 to 6 per
cent. The company's business, aside from
nil tho talk about war orders, etc, has
shown much moro stability In recent
enrs than formerly Net profits huo
rnnged between t,100.000 anil 1,.M4,000 per
annum since lWi, while tho surplus after
the 1 per cent dlstilbutlon has ranged bo-
wopii J4S3.5T3 nnd $313,611 during that
period. IlnUlulti Locomotle was another
strong spot, moving up over n point on
light purchases
Notwithstanding tho confirmation of an
order for 15.000 tons of steel rounds placed
with the Pcnnslnnla Steel Compnny, the
stock fell thiee points on nn odd lot
transaction. United Gas Improvement, on
the contrary, moved up a fraction, while
brisk busing of t'nlted States Steel lifted
that Issue substantially J a. Hrlll
dropped 2, while Welsbach rose S points
Cramp shipbuilding displayed a bettor
tone today, but trading in tho stock wns
small. Tonopah-nclmont hardened frac
tionally on the regular dividend being de
clared. United Hallway Investment Bs
were a strong feature of the bond list
and In tho late dealings Philadelphia
Company cumulative preferred moved up
nearly 4 points, but tho common was
Inclined to hang back
Money rates In Philadelphia today aro
at tho lowest point in many years Call
loans nrc obtainable at iYt per cent, on
good collateral, and It Is snid even 3 pi-r
cent, has been touched. No such low
rate has existed since the fall of 1WS.
while time money can be had as low as
3'4 per cent for six mouths, which is said
to bo a record.
That such monetary conditions shoulu
prevail at a tlmo of octie stock market
speculation, expanding trade and nt tho
approach of tho movement of a recotd
crop Is surprising, but it is explained uy
the fact that ilnnnchil institutions aro not
inclined to place their surplus funds In
high grade Investment bonds nt this time
because of the expectation of consider
able further European liquidation of tho
best American Issues still held abroad It
Is also pointed out that in this city at
least speculative" commitments, though
active, nre moro in the nnturo of turn
overs than actual enlargement of the
speculative position Brokers report a
grent deal of In and out trading fiom
day to day on n practically unchanged
volume of collateral. Incidentally, PhllaJ
delphla brokers have been obtaining
rather more than the usual proportion of
call money from New York nt about 3 per
cent and 1-16 commission Offerings of
funds nre said to be considerably In ex
cess of the demand.

Loss of $50,000,000 a Year When, it
Goes on Free List
WASHINGTON, Auk 27 Retention ot
the duty on sugar, which Is slnted to ko
on the free list next Ma, was hinted here
today by Representative Claude Kltcliln,
of North Carolina, chairman of the Vh
and Means Committee and floor leader
ot tho House. He ndmltted that addi
tional revenue legislation muBt be con
sidered so soon as Consres reconvenes,
and ndded that "there Is some talk ot
letting the duty remain on suKar "
A ltiis of revenue, amountlnK to nt least
$M,OCO,000 a year, will be suffered when
sugar goes on tho free list Kltcliln said
this fact would have weight In considera
tion of tho revenue problem. He declined,
however, specifically to forecast at this
tlmo legislation repealing tho free sugar
clause of tho 1'ndervvood law.
