of business.
"The local cotton yarn market stilt con
tinues active! prices nru still high nnd firm.
with a g-ood demand for most grades. Man
ufacture of knit underwear ara busy, and
In some cases report that they can ect
nioro business than they can handle at
very satisfactory prices.
"Towel manufacturers report that their
orders Imvo fallen art to soma extent, owing;
to tho prices asked In accordance with tho
hljjli prices of yarn. Conditions generally
nppenr to be satisfactory nnd dealers look
for tho present conditions to continue for

"The wool market Is very atrone and

chandise Jobbers ot knit goods also com
plain ot the steady advancing of prices and
a general scarcity of merchandise.
"The market In Iron and steol' continues

"There appears to be considerable ac
tivity In the hardware lino, notwithstand
ing tho high prices. There Is a good de
mand for all grades of material, l'rlces

ing done It Is believed will equal, If not

with the war loans displaying the most
strenKth- Iteporls of closer control by the
Oo eminent earned flatness In shipping
hares.
Americans receded In sympathy with
prices at New York. Canadians were dull
and Arrjentlne lines quiet nnd mixed, Home
rails Nvere Idle hut belter.
Allied bonds were sustained. Jspaneso
Imues wer firm, nnd Chlneso and South
American bonds showed stro'nRth In places.
Itubber were hard, reflecting- stability In
the staple. Oils were dull. Adjustments
caused Irregularity In armaments.

NP.W YORK, Dee, 8. The Chicago, In
dlanapolls nnd Louisville has declared a
dividend ot 14 per cent on the common
stock and tho regular semiannual dividend
of 2 per cent on the preferred, payable
December 29 to stock of record December

No one In the Rnanolql district In Phlla
delphli today had to exert htrftselt to keep
up with the ticker carrying the quotations
of stocks sold on the local exchange. The
dsy was one of the quietest for eome time.
Throughout the whole weelf, there has been
an attitude of caution present In the deal
Ings, but this was mors pronounced today
than for some) time.
One ot the developments of the day waa a.
rtcovery In the price of Lehigh Navigation,
which stock sold off In the late trading
yesterday. The stock started with a gain
of a full point, and this waa extended an
other half before midday. Home ot this
Improvement waa lost In tho afternoon.
Nothing new was heard ot the proposed
doal between Navigation and the Penn
sylvania Ilallroad regardlnr the Lehigh
nnd New Kngland Ilallroad, The deal. It
Is understood. Is not aft by any means, but
until there Is something definite omclals
will not have anything to say.
During the morning a little Interest was
shown In Philadelphia Jlapld Transit trust
certificates and they moved up a little. In
the afternoon, however, the Improvement
wan lost and a little more besides. When
the certificates moved tip, Union Traction
got up a trifle, too, and the small gain was
held to tho close. Throughout tho session
Lake Huperlor waa (ho most active and It
was mostly below the final of yesterday,
A development In connection with tho
local money market was the additional re
discounting by banks with the Federal He
serve llank of Philadelphia. Today about
11,600,000 worth of paper waa taken by the
Federal Institution. A largo proportion of
this was In tho form of collateral loans.
Most of the paper matures In fifteen days.

A Year End Suggestion
All periods, of great speculation in the past have
been succeeded by periods of conservatism in invest
ment. Wo recommend the early selection of New Year
investments for the reason that the demand for new
securities is likely to be largo and tho supply limited.
Wo shall bo glad to submit offerings of bonds
yielding from 4 to over G to those who are
interested. ,
