IMPROVING TENDENCY
IN PHILADELPHIA STOCKS
Storage Battery in Strong Demand.
Limit on Baldwin Raised.

There was a distinct show OF strength
TO the dealings in the Philadelphia mar
ket this morning. Leading the improve
ment was Electric Storage Battery, which
extended yesterdays advance a full point
to 47ik. The fact that the stock carries
dividend to come off shortly was a slim
ulating influence. So also was the knowl-
edge that the company is very busy just
now supplying batteries both for home
an dforeign consumption. Lehigh Nav-
CATION trust certificates moved up half
a dollar. and there was also good de-
mand by investors for United Gas I'M
provement Union Traction and Reading,
On the other hand. some slight nquida-
tion ACQUIRED in Pennsylvania. Philadel-
phia Electric ruled steady around %,
despite arguments over rates before the
Public Service Commission. American
Railways preferred sold at 9sIz, down
points from the last previous quotation,
while Tonopah Belmont rose TO as in the
afternoon
A curious development today was the
raising OF the limit on Baldwin Locomo-
tive preferred from 1Oi. where II has
stood for some time, to 105A. There has
been quite little odd-lot dealing in the
shares at the lower limit. and. in fact.
they changed hands today at 10i before
the new ruling was promulgated.
Baldwin common fell from 43 to II on a
small transaction. The feature OF the
trading In bonds was the sale of a block
of $4,000 Philadelphia Electric As at Is,
an advance OF y upoint. Bond dealings
we're quite active on change as well as
over the counter and for most part
prices ruled fiFm. American Gas and
Electric IS advanced to spa.
Inquiry among the bond houses disclosed
the fact that while new issues were being
subscribed for TO a moderate extent. there
we're still a number OF unsold portions OF
old issues still TO be distributed. This Is
said 10 be particularly true OF long-term
bonds 1t has been estimated that some
thing like 500 600 OF new financing will
have to be taken care OF in 1915. but the
theory Is held that restoration OF conf
dsnee. which has been growing rapidly
Of late, and general Improvement In busi-
ness conditions viii facilitate the fiotation
Of this heavy volume OF securities. On the
= hole. local bond men are decidedly op-
timiztlc. but ara not letting their enthu-
siaam carry them away, as can be OBJ
served by the terms upon which they took
the Lake Shore s per cent notes.

INVESTORS BUYING
CAUSED INCREASED
ACTIVITY IN N. Y.
Inquiry Assumes Large Pro-
portions Bonds, Short
term Notes and Public
Utilities in Demand.

NEW YORK Dec. 3.-1ncreased ac-
tivity was shown all through the Wall
street district today A new feature was
that nearly all the buying Of bonds or
the Stock Exchange floor shCrt-term
notes and public utilities was for invest
nent account
The investment demand has assumed
the large proportions. Short-term note
dealers are flooded with buying orders
from numerous sources. and the dividend
paying public utilities are in brisk de-
mand at steadily advancing prices.
It is hard to execute buying orders, how
ever. as holders refuse to part with their
holdings, even at substantial advances In
bids. An Instance Is the fact that st,
Josephs Heat and Power notes, offered by
a Philadelphia firm at 9i1a. are now bid
for at the offering price.
That spirit of activity which was a
feature OF the Broad street curb trading
reflected in vigorous advances in high and
low priced mining shares, has ended for
the time at least and the same diminished
interest in curb industrials is noted NO
one seems to care whether United Proht
Sharing increases its capitalization or not
or whether It's price is marked up or
marked down. The same indifference Is
shown to promises ct good developments
in United Cigar Stores or Riker-Hegeman
IN the bond trading the feature
was Rock Island refunding Is, which
gained point during the morning
trading to 66t5 compared with 6S1a
at the opening. The advance in the
latter was probably que to the companys
october earnings statement which was
favorable While the net earnings for
the month were S276,T79 below the same
month of the previous year, the net
earnings for the first four months of the
fiscal year showed an advance of $2OI36S
over the same period of last year.
Fractional gains were made in virtually
ell bonds sold during the morning ses-
sion Southern Pacific convertible 5s'
which sold heavily in yesterdays trading,
were sold today at last nights closing
price, 94k, the transactions not being
large.

There was an active loan crowd on the |

lNTERLocKING DIRECTORS
Acting Treasury Solicitor Decides
They May Serve Out Terms.

WASHINGTON, Dec. S-1nterlocking
directors in banks may serve out their
terms. despite the prohibition against in
terlocklng dlrectorates in the Clayton
antitrust law, f. A. Reeve, Acting
Solicitor of the Treasury, today decided.
Robert w. Webb, vice president Of the
Minneapolis Trust Company, of Minneap-
oils, is the director whose service was
in question.
Il am of the opinion that a director
Of the said trust company is eligible to
serve as director of a national bank
not having common ownership of stock
until the expiration of two years after
the approval Of this act-the Clayton law
and he is eligible to further serve for
such time thereafter as constituted the
uneXpired part of one year from the date
of election" says Solicitor Reeve,
Solicitor Reeve says he interprets the
intention of Congress to be not to bring
about sudden and inconvenlent changes"
and that 'as to banks whose deposits,
capital, surplus, etc, aggregate more
than $5.0O0OOO and as to all banks In
cities of over 100000 population. the pro-
visions as to time of the act taking eff
feet, mutual savings banks, common
stock ownership and Federal reserve
banks, should apply alike"
