Witjc Movements Are Confined to These Issues Steel
Common Declines and Other Industrials Are
Lower After Irregularity
New orl, Mnrcli IS. Market movements on the stock exchange
during the forenoon weie confuted, with the stundaid Issues In supply,
but pclols and Inside Intel cits continued nggrcsse bulng of mnnj cnsllj
controlled stocks, making the market again one of specialties, and the
only wide mm omenta were In those Issues
The old-time contervntlve element continued to deote Its attention
to United States Steel common and to base Its market views on the
maikct action nf that lender This morning Steel fliirtuntcd within a
narrow rnnge, but was In supply from the same Interests that hne
been noted as sellers for more than two weeks nnd declined 4 to 94
In the llrst hour
Other steel Industrials, after Irregular moements, showed lo-.-es in
the late forenoon ,
The widest movement In the specialties was in Industrial Alcohol,
which advanced ." points to H3'(,
The Whelan Interests told their friends that there was nothing of
lmpoi tnnce to the -.tiite-mcnts about a war between the I'lilted Cigar
Stoles and the Seliulte Companj and brokers, often acting for that
operator, bought 6000 sh ires of I'nlted Cigar Stotes Just after the opening,
putting the price up 3 points to USty
The oil sto Us weie strong, p.utlv bi cause of 1 epoi ts about the
Intention of the British Government to turn all Its vessels Into oil burners
Texas I'ompnnj rove more than 1 point to 217t nnd Mexican IV
troleum rose 2 points to 1S9.

Storage Battery Slow Appearing and Lower General
Asphalt Preferred Rises 4 Points on Trifling
Turnover P. R. R. Declines 'I
Stock trading was extremely quiet In the forenoon on the Philadelphia
exchange and price changes were mixed. However, transactions In home
shares were In no case, of sufficient sbe to cause particular Interest In
any Issue".
One of the surprising things was the nonappearance until after 12:30
o'clock of Clectrlc Storage Battery, the recent leader, which made up most
of yesterday's turnover and bcored n wide gain. Sales that appeared after
that hour were at 65"i and GG, as ngalnst GG?i nt the end of the previous
tjesslon. e
' Ocneral Asphalt common and preferred, on odd-lot sales, were, higher,
the preferred advancing 4 points. Philadelphia Klectrlc gained ti, while
Tonopah-Belmont and Cambria Iron came out unchanged. Lehigh Navi
gation lost a fraction, but were very slow,
Pennsjlvnnla Railroad was the only stock that gained momentum of
Interest and It yielded as much as Vt, while Lehigh Vnlley was off a
good-sized fraction. P.cadlng Company did not appear before midday.
Steel common, on a small turnover, held steady.
Bonds were quiet and transactions were nt previous closing prices.
American Gas Report Shotvs Big Year
Stockholders of the American Gas Company today receive the annual
leport of the corporation for the jeur ended December 31, 1918. While
many other public utility concerns throughout the country have shown
sharp decreases In net earnings or hnve repoi ted deficits In place of profits,
the Increased business and higher rates procured by thp Amerloati Gai
officials resulted In the drop In tho net being smaller than expected.
Gross earnings were $6,524,069, against ?5,287,706 In 1917, bud the net
was $1,784,664, as compared with $2,052,209. Balance, after allowance for
taxes, other churges nnd depreciation, was $84,003, equal to 1.07 per cent on
the $7,804,000 capital stock, compared with 10 1 per cent In 1917 on $6,44,9,200.
President MorrlsrW. "Stroud says. In part, In his report:
"The gross business of our companies had a most satisfactory Increase:
it being In the sales of gas 10 39 per cent, nnd of electricity 37.82 per cent.
Owing to this Increase and also the Increase In rates obtained the gross
Income Inciensed 23.38 per cent, or $1,23G,363. Unfortunately, however, the
Increase In rates obtained was not sufficient to offset the Increase In the
operating costs,, which were $1,384,339, or 34 80 per cent.
"During the first part of the vear jour board of directors continued the
dividend with the hope that the situation would be met by the Increase In
rates, for which we had applied. The Public Service Commission acted
ho slowly on these rates, however, tTiat by the middle of the je.tr It was
evident these hopes would not be realized, and jour board felt that It
would be conseivatlve to suspend payment of the dividends until condl
tlons, should improve. It Is with great satisfaction that the board Is able
