UNITED STATES STEEL MAKES
UP BULK OF EARLY BUSINESS
IN THE LOCAL STOCK MARKET
Follows Course in New York and Scores Good Advance.
Rapid Transit Certificates Appear Unchanged.
Cramp Is Higher
Outside of transactions In United States Steel common, which followed
the higher course on the big board and sold In fulrly large quantities, early
trading on the Philadelphia Stock Ekchange was small and uninteresting.
Rapid Tianslt trust certificates, on a 200-shaie block transaction, which
came out during the first hour, vme unchanged, as was Philadelphia Trac
tion, with the-Street still discussing the dtsagieemenl on the placement of re
sponsibility for war taxes between the holding company and Its subsidiaries.
Stoinge Battery advanced another i as did Lake Superior and Phila
delphia Electric, but United Gas Improvement held steady at estcrday's
Closing quotation.
Tonopah Belmont advanced ',4, Heading IJallway lost a fraction and
Pennsylvania was unchanged.
William Cramp certificates, which have done Utile for some time, camo
out at 7614, or 14 higher than the last previous sale price.
Liberty Loan bonds were lower, but were less active than In yes'erday's
earl Hading.
