HOME SECURITIES.
AIRBRAKE REPORT LEAvENS THE
LIST, BUT TRADING SLOW.

Buyers Still Holding Back-The Westing-
house Group Show Considerable Back
bone-Ofhce Deals-Short Cars for the
Duquesne Traction Road to Arrive
Next Week.
Trading on call yesterday was as near
nothing as possible. The feature was an ad-
vance in A1rbrake to 1881 bid at the first
call. 1t weakened in the afternoon, and
closed at 107@111. Buyers were after blocks
and got none. A few small lots were offered.
All of the Westinghouse interests were
strong The good showing of the Airbrake
Company had a good effect on the entire
list.
A good-sized deal in Pittsburg and Bir-
mingham Traction stock was consummated
by Kuhn Bros They bought 200 shares at
1.-THE lowest figure SO far. They sold 70
Philadelphia Gas at III. Office business
was better than for long time.
Some people are unable to understand the
reports of the Pittsburg and Birmingham
and Citizens Traction Companies. The
latter carried upward of IL. .000 900 passengers,
while the former conveyed less than 50OO,-
00O. With practically one-third the number
of fares, the Birmingham shows earnings
within about 100000 of the Citizens. The
explanation Is that the Birmingham charged
6-cent fares for about three-fourths of the
year, against on the Citizens line for the
entire period covered by the report.
The first installment of short cars for the
DuQuesne Traction road will arrive next
week from Philadelphia They will be wired
and put in service as soon as possible. Sales
were:
First call-5 Pleasant Valley at M.
Second cali-No sales.
Third call-$20 Electric scrip at 70.
After call-1S Luster at 121s.
Bids and asking prices at each call are ap-
pended:
