euuAnElpHIA COMPANY REPORT.

II is authoritatively stated that the gross
earnings of the combined properties 0per-
ated and owned by the Philadelphia Com
pany of Pittsburgh for the nine months
ended December 81, 1911, show a decrease OF
S,3S275 and n decrease of net earnings OF
sS15.4l0, which would be equivalent. TO .
per cent earned on tho stock, as against il
per cent for tho fiscal year ended March
81, 1911 The decrease i'm the net earnings
was principally due TO increased main
tenance charges on account or heaVy eN-
nenditures on the railways which became
necessary through q large amount OF re-
paving undertaken by the city OF Pitts
burg which compelled the railway com
panies to relay a large amount of track,
which is properly an operating charge.
Since October industrial conditions have
improved i'm Pittsburgh, due TO revival IN
tho steel business, and this Improvement
has been marked in the months of Decem-
Der and January. In January the company
had the largest business in its history, as
IL has not only had the benefit of reason
ably active industrial conditions, but also
exceptionally cold weather. which has in
creased its gas sales.

An excellent market for odd lots existed
on the Consolidated Exchange throughout
the session. The trading list was broad
considering the extent of the turnover on
the floor sales OF 40 shares being dis
tributed among forty-two different stocks
Missouri, Kansas & Texas common sold at
2Iis and Pressed Steel Car at 32l3, with no
transactions In these two stocks reported
on the New York Stock Exchange. Other
stocks in which there were odd lot deal
ngs included Bethlehem Steel, Central
Leather. DistillerS' Securities, National
Lead, Republic Steel preferred. Tennessee
Copper, Ray Consolidated and Westing-
house Electric. Comparative quietness
marked the trading in the standard stocks
most Of the day Exceptional strength
shown by the Hill shares failed TO exert
much influence upon the general list Buy
ing Of these shares was stimulated by talk
of increased earnings. Detailed operations

FINANCIAL MARKET
Banks Lose Cash on Weeks
Currency Movement.

ON a light volume Of business stock
market prices moved In an irregular
manner throughout the five hours OF
business. final prices showing more net
gains than losses. Among the promi-
nent shares Amalgamated Copper
American Smelling, Canadian Paclnc'
Reading and United States Steel closed
at small losses while st. Paul, Great
Northern Northern Pacific, the Harrl-
man issues and Southern Railway pre-
ferred ended above the closing OF the
preceding day, an advance of more than
one point in the last named security
being based upon the action OF the ul-
rectors of the Southern Railway Com
pany in increasing the dividend from
a to 4 per cent annual basis. Southern
Railway preferred IS entitled TO per
cent yearly, and the present position
Of the company, the character or It's
earnings and tho development OF IN
dustriaI activities in the territory in
which the road operates encourage the
expectation that the stockholders VIII
receive the full > per cent rate in the
course of 1918, and possibly next Octo-
her. Although there was some specula-
tive selling of Southern preferred on the
announcement Of the larger dlVldend
payment, by operators who wanted their
profits, excellent buying Of the stock
was reported on the well founded theory
that tho price Of the issue eventually
would sell at q much higher level. The
general market presented no feature.
Trading was wholly professional. with
no indication of an active outside de-
mand for securities for speculative &C
count. Some of the bond houses re-
ported a fair inquiry for mortgage is
sues from investment circles, but trans
actions in bonds on the Stock Exchange
were light in volume. Foreign discount
rates were frmer and local banking IN
stitutions were again lenders in the
European markets.

It IS quite likely that to-day's Clearing
