Only half a dozen Issues appeared lot. ut" u the flrst 1,our and transactlons ivere confined to small, odd "its, with changes In prices small and uninteresting. Even Lake Superior t-orporatloh and Steel, the recent leaders, showed ilrtually no activity. Only 130 shares of the former appeared on tho tape and Steel sales 11 ere only 100 shares. The market tone was fairly steady, however, and tho nnaiclal district optimistic. Superior appeared unchanged nnd Steel ad vanced a trifle. General Asphalt was weak, losing iy points. The fullness here was In line with conditions on the big board, business In New York being about the lightest since last summer's quiet Saturdays. Insurance Company of North America sold at 20, unchanged from ester days close on the local exchange, Pennsylvania Railroad lost a frac-'' tion and United Gas Improvement was "taken at last night's final quotation. One sale of American Smelting was recorded at 88&, off B4. Philadelphia National Bank warrants held steady around 90, after drop ping to 87. Bond trading was small also, with Liberty Loan Issues .lower, whlls Philadelphia Electric first 5s lost a little. Third Certificate Issue Is Smaller The Philadelphia Reserve District's quota of the third issue of Treasury certificates will be approlmately $36,000,000 in view of the reduction of the offering from $750,000,000 to $500,000,000. An oversubscription on the first issue of more than SS0.000.000. rnunled 'with the increasing sales of war savings and thrift stamps, made it possible ror the Treasury to reduce the amount of the third issue. Sale of the war savings and thrift stamps for the first seicntecn days of July total $103,413, 917, the first time that the hundred million mark has been reached in ajiy one month. ' Sale of the stamps in the first half of July were at the rate of $6,000,000 a day, and If continued July will approximate $175,000,000. If the momentum shown in the sale of stamps In July continues for the remainder of the year the- stamps will take an increasingly Important part in Treasury financing, as the sales for tho first half of the new fiscal year as judged by July's satisfactory showing would exceed $1,000,000,000. v " omcials of railroads .operating eastward from Chicago and St. Louis re port no new phase in the traffic situation, but say tho roads can hardly do more than at present without much new equipment. Business is fairly brisk, although labor is in Inadequate supply. Traffic In tho South, accoiding to officials, is running a little heavier than 10 per cent better than a ,ear ago, with the distribution of diversified prod ucts improving. I ,31 ;m i i 1 V X 5". .
