CHRISTMAS CHEER
CHECKED TRADING
IN PHILADELPHIA
Stocks Inclined to Sag in
Slow Session While Brok-
ers Observed Time-EIon-
ored Custom of Yuletide.

An uncertain tone prevailed on the local
exchange today, while the volume of
sales was exceedingly light and trading
fell on TO nominal proportions after 1?
o'clock on account of the usual Christ
mas celebration. After opening strong at
% to 52% Pennsylvania gradually receded
below yesterdays low point. Reading
showed relatively larger loss, but the
reason for this was that the stock ended
lower in New York yesterday than 1t
did I'm Philadelphia. Reading second pre-
terred sold of four points from the last
previous quotation. Small losses were
also recorded in United Gas, Philadel-
phia Electric and Electric Storage Bat
terry, while U. s. steel continued to cling
close to the minimum limit. In relation
TO this II was pointed out today By the
head of large brokerage house that
many people feel the present minimum
restrictions only servo to curtail business
and do not check actual declines which
are thereafter established on the So
called gutter market where the regular
members Of the Stock Exchanges are pro-
hlblted from dealing.

duction of s107,isO in operating expenses,
net earnings also fell off S154,36 compared
with the corresponding period in 1918.
For the year the decrease In total operat-
ing revenue was S4l1,913. Operating ex-
penses were reduced $2s6, 6s6 and operating
income fell Oft s1S2. 149 compared with 1913.
With the company facing additional
losses through the reduction in rates on

the coming year can hardly be considered
encouraging unless a sharp revival in

OBJECT TO BEING FINED
London Brokers Raise Point Regard
ing Rule Violations.

LONDON, Dec. 2l.-Brokers expressed
disapproval today about the proposed
fines for violation of the rules when the
Stock Exchange opens There was a
large attendance in the street, but little
bushes was done IN securities. The gem
eral topic of discussion was the restric-
ton placed on dealings on the exchange.
Members. while letting 1t be known that
they were not cheerful over the scheme
for reopening the exchange, indicated
that they were resigned to it.
The membership OF the exchange Is eX-
pscted TO suffer. as the restrictions are
likely to keep away the smaller members
and the jobbers who have found employ
ment elsewhere since the outbreak OF the
war. The tone of the gllt-edged invest
ment securities was hard, especially the
new war loan. Americans were heavy.
Cheerfulness prevailed in foreigners and

ON ALL RECESSTONS
Usual Desire to Curtail Com

CHICAGO, Dec. 24-wheat values again
moved nervously today, but the market
found excellent support on all recessions.
The usual desire to curtail commitments
before holiday was apparent, but there
was no dlmniution Of interest In the de-
velopments Affecting the situation. There
was more export business, sales being
estimated at 100000 bushels

protected and added moisture and snow
covering can only be considered favor

Is expected during January. It is esti-
mated that only % per cent. OF the whole
crop remains in the hands of farmers
in Kansas, about 20 per cent. in Oklahoma
and % per cent. in Nebraska.

Corn displayed a strong undertone.
Trade will broaden. Winter feeding Is

corn thus far better absorbed. Country
sales are running light, There was some
export business Futures closed &c. to

Trade in oats was broader. There also
was little improvement in export busl-
ness, with much business pending Cash
owners are firm in their views and for
eign buyers finally are coming to the

Provisions were irregular, following a
slow start. Ono OF the features was SELL
ing OF pork by packers. There was q
fair investment call, but more caution
than usual in carrying provisions over
the holiday. Prices were easier near the
end.
