STOCKS HARDENED
In LOCAL MARKET,
TRADING LIGHT
Reports of Improvement in
the Steel Business Helped
to Lift Prices -Pennsyl-
vania in Demand.

Reports OF betterment IN the steel trade
conditions served as a stimulating factor
on the Philadelphia Stock Exchange to-
day. Not only did United States steel and
Cambria Steel shares harden, but the gem
eral local list developed a distinctly up
ward tendency throughout the greater
part OF the session. The volume OF bust
ness. however, was not large, and brok-
ers' offices still have a holiday aspect
Pennsylvania shares were in demand
from investors, and 80 we're Philadelphia

American Gas and Electric bonds wero
also picked up In moderate quantities.
About the only issue to display reac-
tionary tendency was Lehigh Navigation.
but the offerings were confined to odd
lots. York Railways preferred moved UP
half point and Electric Storage Battery
sold at a and then jumped to IS on the
sale OF one share. Philadelphia Electric
touched n around midday. In the after
noon the volume Of business contracted
still further and some Of the earlier adj
vances were reduced.
IN the last hour keystone Telephone
came into demand, advancing half a dol
lar. Baldwin Locomotive preferred also
moved UP at the close.
Ihe reduction In the Pennsylvania salt
dividend had been forecasted by the an
nual report and SO created no great sur
prise. The stock sold unchanged from
yesterdays close of IS and little appeared
to be offering.
Although the steel business is said to
be improving chiefly because of foreign
orders, prices are somewhat lower than
In September and well below those pre-
Vailing year ago at this time. For
Instance, November 2 foundry is quoted
now at N425, compared with SIS In 1918,
while basic Is 1880 against sti.25, and
bars are fl.12 for 100 pounds, compared |
with 3l27 During the past few weeks
the scrap iron market has strengthened, |
and advances averaging from so cents |
to dollar per ton have been recorded.
The reduction in the rediscount rates of |
the Philadelphia Federal Reserve Bank |
caused no surprise. Ever since the New |
York rate was reduced to AZ per cent It |
had been expected that this city would
follow suit, in view of the easing up of
he general money situation. The weekly
eport Of the local clearing house banks
again showed considerable loss In sur
olus, but the item has been ruling very
high since the new system went into eff
ect, and 1t Is therefore only natural that
{ should work somewhat lower. Slacken-
ng of business on the stock exchange
vas reflected in the decrease of over
million in loans.
