BROKERS DOUBTFUL.
Do Not Enpect Large Increase in
PHILADELPHIA Trade.
LBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE. ]


Philadelphia, April 2O-Afost of the Philadel-
phia stock brokers believe that the new stock
transfer tax in New-York will greatly stimulate
trading here. The matter was given consid-
cradle attention in the market to-day Two of
the New-Yorkers who had bought seats here
said that in their opinion Philadelphia would
do largely increased business after the new
law becomes effective. Some of the leading
houses here said there were so many considera-
lions other than the tax that they felt skeptical
over the prospect Of diverting much business to
this city.
Taking the Street a whole. opinion was
equally divided The position was taken by
houses that have Offices in both cities that in the
event Of the two markets being at a parity
they would transfer their business to the Phila-
delphia Exchange, and thus escape the 81 tax.
In this way il was felt that Philadelphia would
derive more of a benefit through the placing Of
orders by strictly New-York houses. The latter
even if they had the membership here, would
have to divide commissions with their PhiladeI-
phia correspondents, which would amount to
SO 20 on 100 shares, against the saving OF a
81 tax. Many brokers here commended that the
desire to do business in Philadelphia would bring
the two markets closer together and that this
unification of interests would result in estab-
fishing a uniform level OF prices between this
city and Wall Street.

out yesterday in favor of the Metropolitan
rlan for transit as opposed to that Of the In
terborough at the meeting Of the Rapid Tran
sit Commission Mr. Cassatt present, but
he allowed Vice President Rea to do the talk
ing.
Mr. Rea said the Pennsylvania new station
would be able to handle from thirty to forty
thousand passengers an hour He added that his
company favored a four track subway the
west side of the city that would have a junction
with the new Pennsylvania station at 33d-st.
and 7th-ave., the track to be in a subway be-
meath that of the Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Rea spoke also in favor of subway in
34th-st and four track subway running north
and south on the East Side If the franchises
for these additional subways are granted they
will be Jointly constructed by the Pennsylvania
and New-York City Railway Company.
The marlborough people want a 34th-st. sub
way. with a moving platform. which would en-
able them to connect and transfer with their
elevated and subway lines
Alexander NJ. Rosenthal opposed the moving
platform as an impracticable and experimental
project and said that it had never been a sue
cess. George H. Bruce and others. representing
property owners in the neighborhood of 34th-st
also opposed the idea, among them being rep
resentative of r. H. Macy & Co. who said Mr.
experience his company had with a moving
stairway. He said it necessary to keep
man guard to prevent accidents.
Charles Payne, formerly president Of the
American Society of Civil Engineers, spoke with
enthusiasm of the moving platform. Commits
sioner Charles Stewart Smith said he was not
favorably impressed by the moving platform as
he il in operation in Paris. and saw several
people fall in getting off Mr. Payne replied
that there has been vast improvement in the
moving platform since that in Paris was built
Mr.. Schmid of the Schmid & Gallatin syndicate
the promoters of the moving platform, Endorsed
all Mr.. Payne said.
PAU - CraVath Tor the PennsylFahla anu
New-YOrk City Railway Company interests,
spoke in favor of the plan prepared by John B.
Mcdonald for the New York City Railway Com
pany. Mr.. Cravath ridiculed the rumors that
any steam roads intended using any of the pro-
posed new subWays.
John @. MilbuTn, of Buffalo, representing the
Aston estate, said his clients favored a subway
in 34th-st. without preference for either NOV
ing platform a four track subway. Ex-Con-
gresham Jefferson Lew registered a protest
against a moving platform.
