High Points in Today's Financial News
An irregular tone at the opening on the New York Stock Exchange
is followed by decided strength, many issues joining in the upward
movement. Trade on the local exchange is active, with the Asphalts
and Electric Storage Battery continuing their ndvance. Business on
the curb is in fairly large proportions. Dullness to the point of semi
stagnation characterizes business in the foreign exchange market. Cot
ton is lower. Corn maikct is erratic. Commercial bar silver is
unchanged.

New Yorlt, Fob. 19. The professional element on Wall street was fur
Milled with a complete surprise In the character of the stock market opera
tlons durlus the day. when many Issues presented a stronR tone anil there
whs no incllrntlon of the vvonkness which find been expected by the Street
as a result of the liea prullt-takliiR sales durltiB the last few days.
IlusltuM was diverted to new Issues, however, dealings In the petro
leum flocks beliiB comparatively quiet, and dmlng the Ilrst half of tho
day sieculatlve activities were concentrated In a number of specialties,
with some of these Issues moving up from 2 to moro than 5 points, tho
greatest uain being made by Kelly-Sprlnpfleld Tire.
The Tobacco stocks weio actle and strong n'.l throufih the day, with
t'nlted Cigar Stores advancing 4 points to 12274. Tobacco Products ad
vanced to tho new high record of 79.
In the last half of the day the traction issues were the most promi
nent features, with Urooklvn Ilapid Transit In urgent demand, advancing
more than 3 points to 2074, tht hlghist price at which tho stock sold sinco
It went Into tho receiver's hands.
Interborough preferred made a gain of 14 to 22 and Third Avenue
had a fractional advance tl above 1()
Tho bonds of the traction systems were also In urgent demand, with
the entire movement bas-ed on statements that an agreement hud been
very nearly reached by which the local transportation companies will bo
permitted to charge seven cent fare.
Tho most Important feuturo of the bond market natttrallv was tho
suddenly crented demand for the fourth Liberty 47is as n direct response
to tho announcement that the Victory Bond Usues has been obandoned.
This automatically places tho fourth 4's in a new Investment class, as it
makes that bond issue tho highest Interest-bearing obligation of the gov
ernment. It is assumed that when the proposed short-term notes mature
that they would be replaced by a bond bearing a much lower interest
rate than the last government issue.
Tho fourth 474s, which sold jesterday at the previous low record of
93.76, advanced today to 94.23. Tho 34s weie traded in at from 98.G2 to
SS.S6.
There was a good demand at advancing prices for the traction issues,
but the supply of these bonds were scant, as only a moderate amount of
business was transacted in them.

I a dccrcised demand for feeding purposes
'and more deposition on the part of
farmers in some sections to dispose or
their grain. Stop loss orders were
reached on tho decline.
Offerings ceased shortly after the
opening and prices adanced to a good

The drop was fully recovered before
tho session advanced far on good buying

was worked for export, jesieruuy. ui-

TRADE ON THE LOCAL EXCHANGE
IS ACTIVE;' MARKET TONE STRONG
Electric Storage Battery and General Asphalt Continue
tenter of Attraction Latter Makes Big Gain.
Remainder of List Uninteresting (
"While today's session on the Philadelphia Stock Exchange wa9 an nctlvo
one, with the list varied nnd tho tone strong, trado continued centered around
the Asphalts and tho shares of tho Electric Storage Battery Company. On
buying of less than a thousand shares, Electric S torn go gained 2 over yes
terday's close, rising to 6074. The high for last year was 67. Further talk
was heard of Increased dividend: and the present satisfactory condition of
tho business was said to warrant the expectation that the note indebted
ness of the corporation would be wiped out next September.
Sensational gains were made In General Asphalt. Sales of both the
common nnd the preferred ran Into the thousands, and at one time durlnc
the day each had advanced 674 points. Lalto Superior was fairly active, but
did nothing more thnn retain Us trading position.
Tho remainder of tho list was uninteresting, although thoso Issues com
ing out that did not remain unchanged, were nil sold at advances. Pennsyl
vania Ilallroad, Reading, Tonopah Mining and United States Steel were In th
lot, all making small fractional gains.
Sales of bonds were not heavy, one of Liberty fourth 471s gained .4G at
94.22, With tho third 47is oft .20 at 95.

We find the services as rendered by you in
cashing our invoices, of a verv great help to
us. Previously we were compelled on ac
count of using all our ready cash in develop
ment and increasing our business, to get our
money in quickly and only sell to trade on
very short discount .terms t This not only
corpelled us to show our hand to our cus
tomers to explain why we wanted to sell
on short d'scouiit terms, but also placed us
more or cn at their mercy, as some of our
customers always squeezed us for lower
prices, and such t-ade as didn't discount,
although good credit, we had to let slip by.
Now the f'av follovv'n? te r?ce'nt bv vou of
our invoices, we get a large nercentage of
the Invoices in cash nnd it pnables us to
trade on a more even bas's both in selling
our product and in buying our raw mate
