SHARP ADVANCES
In UNITED GAS
AND COAL SHARES
Lehigh Valley and Lehigh
Navigation Score Sub
stantial Gains in Philadel-
phia Market.

A sharp rise in Lehish Valley was the
feature Of the trading on the PhIladel-
phla Stock Exchange today. The pur-
chase of s. shares served to lift the
price 1H TO 6SB. United Gas Improve
ment also scored a substantial advance
selling up full point to 50 on odd lot
transactions.
The volume OF business was small both
in bonds and stocks, but the general tone
was distinctly firm. with investment de-
mand In evidence. Pennsylvania. Key
stone Telephone preferred. Electric stor-
age Battery, Pennsylvania salt, Union
Traction and Tonopah Belmont were all
we'll taken.
The report from Harrisburg that the
Philadelphia Electric Company had
agreed to make concessions on rates to
be charged for the 1915 lighting failed to
affect the price OF the stock. Lehigh
Navigation moved up TO "a and retained
most OF It's gain to the close. In the
bond division some rather wide changes
occurred. Lehlgh Valley Coal 5s declined
~ to lo2 and the Lehish Valley General
4t5s were down 2l5 TO 96h. on the other
hand, Lehigh Navigation 4Iks moved up
a point to qS.
The annual report of the Philadelphia

preston. For the fiscal period ended
June 20 gross receipts were 1871, ,S57, an In
crease OF s74.798 over the previous year.
Net earnings were ft63, $50, a gain OF Sr,-

STRENGTH OFROCK
ISLAND BONDS IS
AGAIN THE FEATURE
Issues Attracted Increased
Attention in New York
Trading Today, Making
Further Advances.

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-Tradlng in bonds
on the floor of the Stock Exchange today
was active. The persistent buying of
Rock Island bonds, which was the feature
of the trading yesterday and which were
strong, attracted increased attention,
and further advances were made. Per-
fection OF arrangements for the reorgan-
ization Of the property and the talk OF
opposition to the Wallace Committee,
which is calling for deposits Of the 4s,
was attributed as the cause OF the
strength In the bonds.
The collateral As of the Chicago, Rock
Island and Pacific the old company, and
which closed last night at 22iS, rose from
the opening price of 23 to 25B. The Rock
Island IS. which opened at 55A, advanced
10 56i5. closing at Sc. Another strong fea-
ture in the trading was Southern Pacific
convertible IS, which opened at 9i5s and
sold up to- e5h, closing at S5A. Changes
In other issues were unimportant
The fact that American Can and Lehigh
VALLEY stock and the various Rock Island
issues advanced in unison today was
taken bv some to Indicate that the Reid
Moore interests are again active In the
market. Rock Island common became
active, advancing nearly point to lss.
Stocks have also shown Improvement
from day TO day, with the traction issues
taking a prominent part in the dealings
Many stocks are now far above the stock
Exchange minimum prices.
Banking interest was devoted today TO.
the changes in the foreign exchange mar
lset. Sterling exchange was demoraliSed'
demand selling at AS704S9% early In the
week, and cables sold at 4.sS, against
high price OF 1904. in the first few days
of the week.
1t is a matter OF comment that the de-
mand has disappeared, and the belief pre-
walls that all remlttances for December
have already been arranged, while the
market Is now flooded with commercial
bills against exports OF cotton and various
and foreign purchasing agent
credits Reichsmarks, on the other hand,
we're strong, cables selling at S7%, against
s5M on Tuesday The buying since that
date is attributed to steady sales of bonds
here for German account.

business was comparatively light, as

LONDON, Dec. 5-Announcement was
made today by the Stock Exchange Com
mittee that the general arrangements for
the settlement, commencing next Tues
day, when the settling room will be re-

Prices for securities in the street were

was small. Consols were nominal There
was much grumbling on the part OF trad
ers who bought consols early last sum-
mer because of their inability to sell
them. The new war scrip was quiet.
An advance in expected next week after
the payment Of the first instalment on
Monday.
Steadlness characterizes the American
group. There was buying of Union Pa

Irregularlty Is the distinguishing fea-
ture In trade and industry. according to

In export trade war orders and grain

favored Industries and many lines are
reported busily employed thereon, though
a jarring note Is found in reports that
foreign taltings have been exaggerated
at some markets. Then, too, the scarcity

riage acts as a bar to fullest export ac-
tlvity. In purely domestic trade the sit
