company's s stout would go through satis
faclorllv nt the meeting In London on
March 21 of the bondholders of Hie Algo
inn Central and Hudson Hay Hallway and
of the Algoma Central Terminals, Ltd.
It was snld that Hie plan Is to turn over
the inone.vs which tlin latter companies
have to a committee) for use In the further
development of both properties. Tlio ter
minal rompaiiy would lecelvn debentures
of the rallwny company for ndvances to
It.
The oarnlngs )f the take Superior Cor
poration nre understood to bo very good,
running nt the rato of about 280.000 a
month In November tboy were about
$27B,000, In December approximately
$280,000, ntul II Is understood that .tntiu
ary vvnB a trifle better. Tlio company Is
booked up thiougb the present .vear and
ortlern aie now being taken for tho first
quarter of 1917
It was pointed out that tlio otders which
tho company now bna on hand me mostly
for domestic use and very Utile. If any. ate
orders for munitions. Tlio lallroutls of
Canada are now beginning to buy eiiili
tuent and place contracts for rails, and tho
company has a good shnre of these On
'Change today Lako Superior sold up a
half point
Although not very great, thero Is gome
Improvement In the commercial pspef and
tho collateral money market In Philadel
phia. One banker, In speaking of com
mercial pnper today, said tlytt nmn
which have been out of tlio market top
some tlmo nre gradually coming: back, and
In tho last few weeks quite a largo num
her of new names have been noticed
Hates of paper nre still rullfig nround $
per cent . and, while some paper hait
rhnnged bands a trifle lower, say at 214
and 2'1. per cent, such Instances ha.VB
been few. Homo Indication of the better's
ment In the money market may be had
from the fact that loans of the Clearing
House members during the Inst week Iri-"
creased JB, 338, 000 There la still a largo
amount of surplus piled up $57,660,000
which Is available for loans,
If anything the local market was more
quiet today than It ban been during the
last tbreo days I'rleo movements ntt a
into were generally upward, however, al
though they were only fractional. Leiilnh
Valley Transit common wns ono of the
exceptions, falling a U. while tho pre
feired was unchanged The earnings of
the company eontlnuo to nmko a good
showing with the sumo period of last year
and If they continue the betterment people
In close touch with the company hold ottt
the belief that the back dividends on the
preferred, now amounting to $7 a share,
will be gradually paid off. This will havo
to lie done before nnytblng can be given
to the common Cramp trust certificates
