'Anether event equally Interesting was the admission et the Electric Storage Battery's new no-par common Meck te the regular list. The new Heck also made its debut en the big beard. Deth events .had a strengthening inlaehee upon feh of the respective itecka. Philadelphia Electric sold up te SK, equal te its high for the year .Elec tric Storage .Battery reached 43, gain of 1. and caual te almost 170 rfer 'the old stock., Trading in the general list was bread nnd active. -The Lake Superior peel dM some strong-arm work, and succeeded ' in raising that speculative preposition te 1VA. The aVoendwork for the demonstration waa .supplied In the general improved condition of things in the sttel Industry. The ad vance was tee much for these having profits 'te let slide by, and , realising sales inter brought a reaction te iu. iid 1 About the only excuse which ceu be hnndily offered for the conspicuous weaaness at i it. -., wun a accune of 1 points te 88l, were the state ments contained In the pamphlet is sued by Mr. Mitten. Just what there u-au therein te pause nema, te unload ft f no one was capable of explaining. The underlying Issues were unaffected. Union Traction held at 43, while Phil adelphia Traction showed a gain of fy point at uu. Dealings elsewhere were qqiet. Penn sylvania Railroad held fairly steady around 41'. American Stores dropped back te HO1., Lehigh Navigation con tinued Arm and fractionally higher at 7RV.. U- 0. L lasues remained unneg-' lected. vtcst Jersey dropped anetner (mint te 90 en small offerings. . The effectiveness of measures adopted by the railroad managers te -bring ex penses under control Is strikingly dem onstrated In the annual report of the Lehigh Valley Railroad. The income for the year waa $0,788, 000, equivalent te S8.20 a share en the commeh stock. as compared with 311.15 a share in the previous year, covering two months of Federal contreVand six months of Fed eral guarantee period. The Lehigh Valley is one of the few transportation systems thus .far which has reported a 'greater expenditure for maintenance of equipment last year than in 1020. The inclese amounted te $1,407,714, making n. total of $25, 1.18.717 for 1021. Maintenance of way and structures, however, was scaled down from $11,700,034 In 1020 te $7, 780,011 in 1021. Total operating ex penses, the report shows, were reduced $12,786,082 during the year. Under the separate heading General Remarks te Owners of Railway Se curities, inclusion of which , marks somewhat of an innovation in railroad pamphlet leperts, Mr. Loemls dealared In connection with the, widespread de mand for freight -rate reductions that the only way te restore the purchasing power nnd credit of the carriers was te permit them te' earn a fair return en their investment, lie also drew atten tion te the lurking peril et Government ownership. "This should be a matter of concern te all and particularly te these whose business Is dependent upon adequate and efficient transportation," ' he said, "Experiences with Government-owned railroads In ether countries, without -v hah 4 1 tm m j jfc a a-SV A - -1 ihi a a j IMlity of their performing service of a cnarncicr nnpreacning our stanuares, and such railroad systems, Instead, nre the mere cat's-paw of politics, with the burden of making up deficits In the cost et operation falling 'upon the people In the form of taxation. Te meet this threatened condition requires an atti tude eh the part of the Government and the people which will permit American railroads te re-establish their credit, that they may be able te finance needed improvements te their properties."
