LOCAL STOCK TRADING SMALL,
WITH PRICE CHANGES IRREGULAR
Electric Storage Battery Closes Lower and Cramp, Cer
tificates and Tonopah Belmont Score Gains.
Railroad Quotations Mixed '
There was only a small turnover of stocks on the Philadelphia Exchange
today and price chant-en were frilxed and uninteresting. The market was
virtually without n leader and the small crowds In brokers' board rooms
found little on the tape to discuss.
Electric Storage Battery, yesteiday's leader, was alow and closed off V
after being higher. Tonopah Belmont and Tonopah Mining galrted slightly,
with the latter more ncthe than anything else on tho list. Further Im
provement was shown by William Cramp trust certificates. Phlladelpnia,
Company cumulative preferred, which had bee.t Inclined downward durlnp
the week, made a fair advance, although the earnings report for February,
snowed decreased gross and net compared with January-
.T. G. Brill and Union Traction were steady at their previous closing
levels, while I,ako Superior Corporation shaded slightly, but recovered the
loss. -
Although rails were strong In the early trading on the New York Ex
change, they were Irregular here. Reading made a substantial gain, whll
Pennsylcanla and Lehigh Valley declines.
Philadelphia Company's Earnings in February
Gloss earnings of all departments of the Philadelphia Company In Febru-'
ary, excluding those of the Pittsburgh Ilallwayi Company, totaled $2,666,919.
compared with 2,S69,S07 In January, and with J2.297.702 In the same month,
of 1918, a gain of $369,217. according to figures given out today. Net f,or
last month was $1,350,748, a gain of $506,824 over the pievlous year, but
showed a decline as compared with January, when the net was $1, '556,933.

expected that the chief ciecutlve of the
country would take a hand In a matter
that appeared serious at the moment.
There Is no doubt that the railroads
of the country would share materially

ratio of reserve to net deposit and re
serve note liabilities yesterday to be
41,9 per cent, as compared with 41,1
per cent on March 28,' but at the same
time the statement Bhowed a contingent
liability aa lndorser on bills redlscount
ed with other federal reserve banks of
$43,250,000. agalnBt 831.370,000 the
week before, The Increase in contingent
liabilities is. a reflection ot the firm
money conditions existent here.
An Interesting feature Is that during
the last week the gold with foreign
agencies, amounting to $408,021, was
paid. This Item made Its first appear
ance In the reserve bank statement on
June 29, 1917 at $3,675,000.
This $3,675',000 was the portion al
lotted to the local reserve bank of a
total of $62,362,000 gold held by the
Bank of England" ear-marked for the
federal reserve system. The first reduc
tion was made on June 14, 1918, almost
