ANOTHER QUIET DAY ON THE PITTS
BURG EXCHANGE.

Buyers Turn Out, but Sellers Look on From Q
Distance - Philadelphia Gas and Bir-
mingham Traction Bid Up After Call
without Favorable Response.
Rain and baseball combined yesterday to
make dull market. There were no sales at
the early calls. There was little more ami.
nation in the afternoon, but owing to linn
ited offerings results were unfmportant.
Philadelphia Gas WAS bid up to 10 after call,
and Birmingham Traction to :6X.
In general way and as q rule dulln ess
and weakness are interchangeable terms.
But Pittsburg seems to be an exception.
Nearly all the stocks on the list and traded
IN have substantial backing. and cannot be
seriously affected by bear tactics. Talk Of
dividends, combinations and betterments
generally are sufficient to keep them on
their feet and in favor with the investing
public The knowledge that the Westing-
house interests are full of business, with
new work coming in almost daily, has
stimulating effect all along the line.
After the first session 10 shares Of Switch
passed from Watt to Rinehnrt at Sand after
the second Harry Wilson took from George
3. Hill & Co. 10 shares of Luster at 81. There
were eight sales at the third call-10 Brming-
ham Traction at 1854, 10 at 261z. 80 at 26A,
20 Manchester Traction at 39L, and Citi-
zens' Insurance at 80. After cal, ,$2S Electric
scrip sold at IS and 10 Pipeage at llH. Bids
and offers were:
