fraction. Toiiopah-Delmont, on tho other hand, I ecedetl slightly, I'hllndel
phln Clectilc iceoveted a small loss, and Pennsylvania Salt, Cnloii Traction,
and I'nlted Gas Improvement closed unchanged.
The Piesident'M address to Congress was nw ailed with much Interest,
and, following Uio llrmness shown by the Xew York market after Its deliv
ers . tho Philadelphia market developed most of Us activity and strength.
Naturally, holders of railroad securities, btokcrs nnd batilceii were anxious,"1.
ttl know what tlio President had to say on the future of the railroads, and
the fact that ho did not outllno an doflnlto plan, but, instead, urged tha,t
Congress carefully consider what courso was to be put sued lu looking after
them, was gcncrallj construed as favorable. Theie was littlo business In
tho lalls, howovcr, and changes were unimportant, nlthoush they advanced
to new high ground for tho clay In Xew York after the address had been pub
llslud. On tho local, bonrd Heading Company and Iclilgh Valley each made
a fair gain, but the latter nnd Pennsyha'nln wero unchanged after beintr
slightly above Saturday's closo In the earllei trading. Northern Central ad
vanced "i- points on a small tiansactlon.
The action of J'eiinsylvania todaj was watched eloselj, us It was not only
opectod it would be Inflcnced bj the President's) addiess, but also by the ac-
eeptanco of tho contiact for Government operation and compensation. Slnco
no change of Impottanco oeeutred, howcvci-. It was generally assumed that
tho Sttect had discounted the acceptance and tho announcement by Presi
dent Uea that the .$53,603 427 guuinnteed as compensation would assuro the
continuance ot dividends nt the rate ot C per cent per jear and lcavo a fair
balance for tho surplus after Iled charges.
Steel common was slow In coming out on the tape, and, after being oft a
trifle. It gained a fraction. 1 la Id win Locomotive common and preferred wero
unchanged, but neither was active.
Bond trading was slow and generally changes were uninteresting.
