GENERAL ASPHALT COMMON

Strength of These Stocks and WillianieCramp Certificates .
Attract Most Attention in Local Share Trading.
Market Shows Finn Undertone
The local stock market was fairly active during the first hour, but after
that period business In all Issues, except United States Steel common, was
trifling. With the opening there came a thow of good underlying strength,
and General Asphalt common and preferred attracted neatly all attention,
the former advancing 1 points and the latter 2 points, while at the same
time William Cramp certificates becamo prominent by making a 2-polnt
upturn on a small transaction.
The majority of changes for other Issues were also to higher levels, but
there was little activity demonstrated. Electric Storage Battery advanced U,
Luke Superior gained tho same amount, but later showed a fractional decline;
Philadelphia Electric was unchanged following a trifling loss. Rapid Transit
trust certificates were marked up 'a, while American Gas and VTonop.lh'
Belmjjnt weie unchanged. P. R. T. certificates yielded to 26. Penn- .
HMvania Kaiiroad movca up a nttie, out closed unchanged.
United States Steel common held fairly steady throughout the session at'
around 114, against a closing quotation on Saturday of 11,4 'J. Mldvali
Steel was stronger, advancing on a small transaction.
Liberty Loan 3s remained around 102, the 4s advanced a little, while
the third 4Us yielded to 94 80.
