Tho nil-important development, however, from n local viewpoint wns tho weekly Phila delphia Clearing House statement show ing for the first time slnco the inaugu ration of federal reserve system of the extinguishing of the excess reserve of the Clearing House institutions. In other words, Instead of a surplus above the legnl requirements the locnl in stitutions showed a deficit of $230,000. This undoubtedly will be speedily cor rected, but lt is a hcrious question whether the cqulibrlum of the local money market cun now be restored without further drastic steps in tho liquidating of outstanding hank credits. The incident would possibly bo pnssed over lightly ordinarily, but just at this time lt served to emphasize the serious stringency In money market conditions and practically wipes tAit the last straw of hope of any nppreci iihlc easing of money market conditions during the balance of tho current ml ciidcr jenr. After the turn of the new j car matters may tnke a turn for tho better, but it looks liko a rough and rocky road ahead for some little time. The selling of both Pennsylvania Railroad and United uns Improvement continued on what could be culled .1 liberal scale, One block of 1200 of United Gns Improvement changed hands during (he dny, while tho total sales aggregated approximately ;t400 shnrcs. Nearly 2000 of Pennsjlvnnii were turned over. In cither ense, there wns little change in price, both holding fractionally above the low-water mark made Inst week. Dealings in most all tho other local stocks was of a desultory chnractcr. Klcctric Storage Battery made n splen did showing, selling' nt 132i, ex-dividend of $2.50, which made the price equal to Saturday's last quotation. On the other hand, moderate selling con tinued in Philadelphia Klcctric. Phil adelphia Traction nnd American Ons, (he latter losing $1 at 43. Last week's low figures evidently nW trncted small Investment buying o' Union Traction, w'hlch milled to iM, . also In Pennsylvania Salt, which nd vance to 75 nnd Lehigh Navigation, which wns nearly SI higher at C0V. Among tho Inactive r stocks limited nles produced $1 In concessions in Huntington nnd Iiroad Top common ani preferred to 4. and 8 respectively.
