LIGHT TRADING IN PHILADELPHIA,
WITH NARROW PRICE MOVEMENTS
Quietest Day of A1onth With Exception of One
Situation Furnishes Difllcult Prohlem for Rail
road Officials
-Oetr
It ws an uneventful day on the Phila
delphia Httxjk Hxohsnse. llut ones before
this month was the) tradlnrr ai small for a
full teralem at ttday, and that was on De
cember 1, when the total transactions
amounted to 11,111 shares. Today the
tttal was allchtly under 11.006. With the
tradlnr so small. It naturally followed that
the movements In prices should bo narrow.
No one In the Street evtr einecta the mar
ket tn do very imifh after a Chrlstntaa
holiday, and, contequenlly. tin one teat dis
appointed when no larce Inquiry developed
for nny Issue. Tho bond trading, too, was
small, less than JIP.000 chanclner hands
during tho seeslnn
Tradlmr was brightened up a bll by
Philadelphia Ita put Transit trust certifi
cate, but tjven litis issue was In much
smaller demand than heretofore. Kor n.
Isre.0 putt of tho day a loss of li point
was shown, hut In the afternoon this was
recovered, nnd beforo the close n fractional
KUln was eslabirnhctl. I'nkm Traction, on
the other hand, started with a lota of t
point at 44, nnd nfler Kolnu n fraction
oame back lo l!l, at vrhlch'H

widest movement of nny of thn local otcxJ,
itnlnc up m after selllne unchswred rrrmi
the close of Saturday, rhlladelphlr. i:io
trlc came out for nn hdvanco of a full point, (
selllnKitll.
Omclala of railroads opernllnr eastwara
from Chlcnaa and St. Iouls report that the
car situation ts one of Ihe trtatest proli
Urns which they have) ever had lo contend
with, Embargoes ar continually he Ins;
placed In order, temporarily, lo relieve In
conireatlon which hat been brought about
by the enormoui shipments ot freight
Rome ofTlclala say, that they har never
teen conditions rivaling those now pr
valllnc- Freight yardt at soma of th
targa terminal points are filled with cars
to such an extent that It Is almost !m
possible (rt penetrate them. What Is true
of tha east-bound situation It now virtually
so na to ths movement of freight wtsU
bound. Dullness conditions throughout thtt
territory continue extremely active.
COTTON STARTS BAD,
BUT SOON IMPROVES
Covering Movement Appcnrs
Early niul Sends Mnrket Up-
wnrd for Good Gains
NKW Vonif. Dec. SI. Al the openlnrr
today tho cotton market was Irregulnr.
January contracts on the call, reflecting
sales against noticeswere oft i. points and
sold lower than the same delivery In New
Orleans, The last January sale on the call
was nt lC.JIo and the first one after the
call l.3:c. from which It subsequently' ad
vanced to 11,71c
October wns the strongest of the later
months, selling IS polnls net higher al the
dart. II was estimated that notices aggre
gating u,vuu pairs ivera isaucu 011 onnuw,
contracts this morning.
At 10:16 o'clock the entire market acted
stiong, advancing nbolit 25 points over
Saturday's close, with tho covering- move
ment which chsrncterlied Saturday's mar
ket again In evidence, letter Ihe demand
hud subsided a llltle and prices worked oft
a few points from tho !((,).
The quick early rutly met some local
selling nnd realising, but reactions of 10 or
13 points were followed by renewed firmness
durlmr tho middle of the morning, with nc
llvo mouths selllnK about 19 to S6 points
above Saturday's closing figures. The stop
ping of January notices was considered
a bunking proposition, while the widening
dlflerenro between Jnmtary and March was
hardly a bullish fenture
The market was less active during the
noon hour, Much of tho enrly trading
had resulted from the circulation of Janu4
ary -notices, belnir In the way of switching
or readjustments based on near-month de
velopmenta and ns this subsided the market
became nUlet,
Thn Into forenoon rally carried the active
monthn about 19 to 2fi points higher, and
prlcea held within 4 or C points of the
best during noon hour.
