JJattcry were the outstanding featurrs of
the deatlnca on the Philadelphia Stpck
Exchange this morning. Heavy buylnir,
of Cambria, sot In from the start, and
the quotation was rapidly lifted ncroea
64. , Houses with Now York connectloni
were tho principal buyers and wero per
sistent In asserting that the stock would
soon be listed In Wall street. Whether
the traders there will bo so eager to pur
chase tho shares when they see thorn
quoted at 123 per cent or thereabouts for
a S per cont. dividend-paying Industrial

It is Inevitable that the price v. Ill be
compared with other Steel Issues, such as
Hepubllc Iron and Steel preferred, selling
around 101, and paying 7 per cent., with
some accumulated back dividend war
rants still to be settled, and United States
Bteel preferred, selling around 113, and
paying 7 per cent. About 8600 shares of
Cambria changed hands during tha first
hour nlone. and about 25,000 for the do.
PennBlvnnla Steel preferred again roso
to 85, yesterday's top price, and then went
a fraction higher, while United States
Steel was also buoyant. There were slight
reactions at the cloe
With reference to tho rlso In Electric
Storage Battery, It wns said that a weak
long account had been pretty well elim
inated during the last few days, nnd that
the atock was now In a stronger technical
position, Elsewhere tho market was gen
erally quiet, but on the whole tlrm, re
flecting to a moderate extent tho Improve
ment In Wall street. Vnlted Gas Im
provement moved up a frnctlon on tho
cclaratlon of the regular qunrtcrly divi
dend, while Rapid Transit also hardened.
Philadelphia Electric moved up to 23 In
the final dealings.
