The stock msrXet showed a better tone In this forenoon's trading, although man, larce selling, orders were met In leading Issues after moderate c.aln were made The most Important feature of the market, outside of United States Steel, was a cencral absence of supply at around current quotations, and It a cencrail assumed that the cheerful character of the newi from Krance and the further offer made b Germany apparently with a .lew of .irraiislnp for a conference on peace terms, Increased confidence In the Kuropean outlook and was an Inducement for the retention of the stocks without regard to speculative entlment. As .i matter of fact, few in the Wall stiect district entertained a belief that the offers would be serious' considered, but It was thought that they Indicated a weakening of the German position at home. Some of estcrdnys development had a direct Influence on special stocks. The increa-.e In the dividend rate on Pressed Steel car was responded to with an advance of 1H points in that stock, which sold at CD early in the daj. Pools were active In several specialties, Including American Sumatra Tobacco, but that stock, after advancing to 1344, s-uddenly lelded to 131.

Business was made up of small, odd lots and with few exceptions price changes were fractional. T. O. Brill showed good strength, advancing 1 point to 26 ion a small sale and Philadelphia National Bank warrants, which gained 'MVk points yesterday, were marked up 13 points further before 1 o'clock to-121., against a low about a week ago of 80. Discussion of n. continuance of reDorts of a nlan for thn mercer of th Philadelphia National nnd Farmers' and Mechanics' was thought by ome, to nave helped the price, but others pointed out that rumors of such a. con solldatlon have been going the rounds for so long that revival of the toplo wns without influence, and they said the advance was natural as the war rants were cheap at the high price paid. Lake Superior, which has been leading In activity recently, dldrnoti appear during the first hour, and when It opened It was at yesterday's closing quotation. Lehigh Navigation, Rapid Transit certificates, .Pennsylvania Railroad and American Railways preferred all came out unchanged, while Philadelphia Electric yielded a fraction, Union Traction declined and United Gas Improvement lost . William Cramp certificates, which jlclded more than 3 points yesterday, recovered 2 points on a block transaction, but later lost the gain. , General Asphalt common came out late unchanged, the preferred lost 1 points and Insurance Company of North America neither gained nor lost. Steel common vvas the active leader and It advanced, following the Harly trend on the big board. Local financial circles were much Interested today In persistent reports' that Interests associated with the du Ponts already have or are aboilt to make a large Investment In the tobacco Industry. The companies men tioned as having Interested the powder people are the Tobacco Products Cor poratlon and the American Sumatra Tobacco Company. Some years ago Wilmington, Del., was a large buyer of stock lrr tho United Cigar Stores Company. It is understood that this stock has always appeared In some name other than that of the du Ponts, but with theoWll mlngton address. The investment in United Cigar Stores was made before the war.

"Replying to your letter of June 13th regarding the difference in the surplus account, wc now give you for your information the following figures: December 30th. 1916, our surplus stood at $48,11974. December 1917 the surplus accounts amounted to $94,154.45, representing a gain in the surplus accounts of $46,034.71, and the dividends of $6,000, which were paid during the year would , give us A NET PROFIT OF $52,034.71. For your information we state that on May 31st of this year our surplus1 account had grown to $153,534.32 which WITH THE DIVIDENDS WE HAVE PAID WOULD MAKE OUR PROFITS $69.36987 for the ' past FIVE MONTHS." It cost the above concern only $10,356.92 to sell us $1,529,339.03 of accounts (about 2-3 of 1) since they began dealing with us, 15 months ago. They therefore paid us $10,356.92 in order to make net for them 'selves $121,404.58-r-nearly twelve times as much. We serve others profitably why not rVouWn'f you pay us 3-S of 1 on your sales in order to make 8lo net for your selves as this concern did nearly twelve times more than they paid us? you.'
