INVESTORS CATCHING ON TO THE
STREET RAILWAYS.

Rise and Fal! of Pleasant valley-Sellers
Made a Nice Turn-Manchester and
Airbrake Marked Up-No Special
Changes in Other Dire rections
The street railways monopolized business
on the Stock Exchange yesterday. Nothing
else was traded in. A few other things were
wanted, but differences in values could not
be bridged.
The feature of the day was a sharp ad-
vance, followed by break in Pleasant Val
ley. These were simply business move
ments, and were not based upon anything
affecting the company. The sellers were
Long, Bailey and Caster. The stock cost
them 25 or less, and by selling around %
they made q nice turn. This was reason
enough for unloading.
Manchester Traction was another interest
ing feature, selling at W at the first call
and at 46 at the afternoon session. Du-
uuesne was fractionally stronger, but Birm-
ingham scarcely held its ground. The same
improved its position, but Philadelphia Gas
closed a small fraction down for the day.
All the advices from the new gas field were
favorable. Airbrake made another jump.
and United States Glass common submitted
to slight concessions.
Sales at first call were 200 Pleasant Valley
at 2s, 200 at 27A, 10 Duquesne at %, 30 30 Man
ant Valley at 2715. Second call, 100 Pleasant
Valley at 27, 10l DuQuesne at 2s 200 Birming-
ham at 26 Third call, 10 Central Traction at
%. After call 100 Manchester Traction sold
at 46.
Closing figures on the unlisted fractions
were: Manchester, 44A bid; Birmingham, 26
bid after call. Duquesne, 261s bid, offered
2SL. Allegheny County Light stock was
wanted at CO. Bids and offers at each call

NEW York, June 23-The volume of busi-

from day to day, but there is still main
tanned stubborn hrmness which, while
based on the new crop conditions and the
general bright business outlook of the coun-
try. is not supported by any organized aid
in a speculative way. Operators in the

small pools on either side of the account.
The opening was made on a very moder-
ate business, and at small but irregular
changes from last nights figures, while the
declining tendency in the Changers met
with little response from the rest of the
list, while the strength in Atchison carried
it up over per cent. The liQuidations in
the Grangers depressed prices slowly, and
Burlington, at its lowest point, was down
over N, but the rest of the market without
exception remained without apparent ten
dency in either direction, fluctuating with
in the narrowest limits and developing no

no effect either to stimulate trade or cause
