The attendance was small In brokers' offices, and there continued to be n waiting attitude, traders de siring to see something definite In movements on the big board before mak ing commitments. Although the Allied troops continue to make steady progress In driving back the Hermans and have captured many prisoners, so much confidence Is felt In the ability of the Liberty armies to further punish the enemy that the good reports no longci exercise much Influence on the markets, being tnken ns a matter of course. Instead, the monev outlook and questions of taxation and tallroad paj ments are the outstanding factors. The most Important feature In today's developments on the Philadelphia exchange was the weakness of Rapid Transit trust certificates, which yielded 1 point to 27, with more transactions recorded than have been seen for some time. The decline is unexplained, as there seems to be no change In the opinion of some weeks that the contract between the company and city will soon be approved by the Public Service Commission, but there are1 some who believe tint liquidation on tho recent advance by those who have beer! nnxlous to sell during the period the certificates were aiound 25, with no market to be found, is responsible at the close the certificates were off i. The usual monthly board meeting of the Transit Company will not be held Monday, but ma) occur ono wcel: later. The earnings statement for the month of July will therefore not be Issued .Monday, and Its publication will await the directors' meeting. It has been the custom to have the report for the fiscal jear, ended June 30, read for the directors' approval and for publication beforo the close of July, but it has been deluyed this jear. This, It Is assumed, is due to the desire, In the event of an early decision by tho Public Service Commission In the transit least matter, to review the case and situation In the annual leport of the company to its stockholders.

Pennsylvania Railroad was maiked up n little early, but later reflected the Juno earnings statement issued by the Intel state Commerce Commis sion showing a deficit by losing fractionally, but closing slightly higher.
