This. Belling still centered around the sumo local favorites and naturally ex erted n more or less depressing influ ence upon the bnlance of tho list. Penn sylvania Itailroad continued to bo of fered freely, but tho demand about equaled the supply which served to keep the prevailing prico within a shadow of tho bottom price of the year. Tho same may he said of United Oas Improvement, which appears, for the time being nt least, to be successfully pegged at n2. The Kansas City deal is more important than generally ap preciated. In that it mennB the solution of a trying problem which had given the management more or less concern in recent years. Philadelphia Klectrio likewise con tinued to bo supplied nt the bottom fig ure of the year nt 24-.fj. Union Trac tion told in small lots at its low-water mark of 34. One block of 1000 shares changed handi nt this price. Moderate offerings depressed Amer unn Stores no cents to 40. and Lake Superior lost $1, declining to 20. hut later rallied to 00. On the other hnnd, Lehigh Navigation and Lehigh Valley were firmer and each 25 cents higher nt CO and 41 respectively. Following in line with Federal Re serve Hank of New York, the directors of tho local federal institution today In creased discount rates on advances nnd rediscounts secured by government war obligations t per cent, bringing the new rates Into lino with rates on com mercial paper. This action wns fore shadowed and practically had little ef fect on the local money market situa tion. Jt was tho testimony of the official", of tho leading loaning institutions today thnt there is nothing in sight to en courage hope of any mnterial chnngc in money market conditions from a local viewpoint. Possibly never before, except In panic periods, hnve the weekly meetings of thn directors of the various local clearing house interesting lind before them such interesting mntcrinl covering tho banking situation. Not only tho monev mnrket situation, but also the securi ties markets nre nt the moment fur nishing plenty of food for thought in bank parlors. The credit situation is being analyzed with the greatest scru tiny. These are days when bnnk di rectors nre working in earnest.

The coffee mar ket opened steady nt advances of 4 to 7 points on better cnbles and a modcrnte Wajl street demand. The market is so narrow that it responds readily to small orders cither way. Shortly after the call private advice were received reporting an advance in the Itio market. This started a cover ing movement, which carried September to lu.47, or 14 points above the pre vious closing, but trading was extremely quiet. "- The unsettled Brazilian markets, to gether with a poor demand from Eu rope for nctunl coffee, were more or less of a disappointment to the bulls, and it is not now believed thnt nny consid erable advance can be maintained In Brazil until tho money market improves.
