LITTLE OF INTEREST DEVELOPS
IN TRADING ON LOCAL EXCHANGE
Business Is Extremely Small and Price Changes, Outside
of Steel and Storage Battery, Are Unimportant.
Keystone Telephone Earnings Drop
There was little activity in any Issue on the Philadelphia Stock Exchange
today nnd prlco changes vvero generally uninteresting. Outside of United
States Steel common and Pennsylvania Railroad transactions were virtually
confined to smallt odd lots, and tho financial district found very little in the
market to attract their nttentlon.
Steel took an erratic course, following that on the big board, having a
sharp upturn around mldafternoon, which carried it substantially above
vesterday's close, although during the forenoon It had leaded as much as
1 point. Pennsylvania Railroad, the only other stock showing momentum of
consequence, held steady at yesterday's final quotation. Reading' shaded
bllghtly, but developed no activity, and-Lehigh Valley remained unchanged.
On trifling transactions Klectrlc Storage Battery yielded 1 point, Lake
Superior Corporation, which was slow in coming out, reacted fractionally, as
did Rapid Transit trust certificates, while Philadelphia Electric advanced a
little.
Insurance Company of North America, Lehigh Navigation and United
Gas Improvement held steady and unchanged virtually throughout the session.
In the bond division Pennsjlvania Company consolidated 4VJs lost 1
point. Philadelphia Electric first Gs advanced a trifle, and third Liberty Loan
4V4s were steady.
Lehigh Valley's Earnings Good in July
The Lehigh Valley Railroad's report of earnings for July and seven
months, which came out today, showed substantial improvement over pre
vious reports of the jcar, reflecting the increased passenger and freight lates
put Into effect by tho tallroad administration.
Tor the month the total operating revenuo was $G.730,464, a gain of
$1,771,532 over July of 1917, and a net operating income of $1,723,648 was
reported, a gain of $413,337 over the corresponding month of last year and as
against a net operating deficit of $958,797 for June of this year.
This Increase In net income resulted in the net incomo for the seven
month period showing a corresponding gain, the total being $1,749,648. as
against only $23,899 at the end of June, while tho decrease for the seven
months as compared with the same period of 1917 was reduced from $4,620 878
on June 30 to $4,207,539 by the end of July.
The combined statement of the Keystone Telephone Company for August
and eight months shows gross earnings for August of $130,597, a decrease
of $1730, as compared with the samo month of 1917whlle the net was only
$52,128, a decrease of $6374. For the eight months gross returns were $1,067,
G5S, a gain of $26,855, and tfle net dropped $53,153 to $443,322.

CXCIV
NEVER 'aw old lady Tobln about life
surance last Saturday after all
The CTCltement of Rosle's disappearance
and my promise to go to Eeltman's put
the kibosh on going to see the old gal.
At dinner on Sunday she again sat
next to me, and of course I told her how
sorry I was
I said: "Miss Tobln. I never slept a
wink lost night fretting over not seeing
vou esterday "
To mjself I said. "You ought to be
ashamed of jourself, Peter Flint, prom
ising to see uch a charming lady as
Miss Tobln and then to fall down!"
To MlF-s Tobln I continued' "I didn't,
honest: but won't vou let me off and
give me another chance?"
Say, I wlh jou could see old lady
Tobln she sure Is a surprise packet.
She's between forty and fifty, has a red
face and wears a red wig vvhie.lv. Jerks
off her head a little way every time she
laughs She has store teeth that I
should say were made by a blacksmith,
for every time she chews they squeak.
She always has funny, old-time-looking
dresses that have black, shiny dingle
dangle things on them An oid chap
who boards at our place says she looks
like a crvstal chandelier In mourning
After I'd thrown the bull about being
sorry I hadn't called on Saturday to
talk llfo Insurance to her, she giggled
and said'
"Oh, Mr. Flint, jou've kissed the
blarney stone, haven't ou? Teo, heel"
"No, ma'am," said I. "and If I wanted
to kiss something I wouldn't waste time
with on old brick."
"You're a bold, sassy bov I" she gave
me a bit of a shove "but I'll forgive
you and jou can come to see me Tues
day." Of course I was there today and hnd
a good time. C.ee, but her house Is as
funny as she Is! You remember, she
lives next door to our pla?e and comes
there for her meals
When I ranc the bell a two-by-four
saned-off bit of a girl opened the door
on a crack and said. "Nothln' today,
nnd would have slammed the door If I
hadn't Bhoved my foot Into the crack.
That made her scream and her scream
was several sizes too large for her.
It fetched Old Lady Tobln on the run.
Sho sent the maid to the kitchen P d. n.
nnd tald. "Come in here." which was
the llvlne room.
Gosh ' The chamber of horrors has
nothlnir on that room The walls are
hnntr with family portraits and death
notices! An old cuckoo clock on tha
mantelpiece struck four and the darned
thlnt- lust croaked the "oo'' had busted.
I sat on a slippery old horsehair sofa
with a whacking big cat. lie gave me a
look, turned his back on me and went to
sleep On the top of a big cage stand
ing on a little round table was a parrot,
when we were seated, the parrot
screeched: "Knock 'em over! Knock
'em over I"
"Beatrice, be quiet." said Mrs Tobln
"I call Polly Beatrice. I don't think all
parrots need be called 'Polly.' Tee hee !".
"She's some blTd," said I. I thought
that to praise her pets would make her
feel good and she'd be more likely to
take a policy.
"That's a very valuable bird, Mr.
Flint very valuable. I don't k,now
