Not since July have local brokerage

est In the Philadelphia market was, Of

business i'm New York stocks. There was,
nevertheless, fair amount of activity
and price changes were mostly upward
Parity was quickly established between
New York and Philadelphia quotations on
stocks such as Reading, Lehigh Valley
and Pennsylvania, which enjoyed double

In the final dealings demand developed
for the local traction stocks. Rapid
Transit was bid for at 1915, 500 shares
being wanted at that figure. Union Trac-
tion rose to 30 and Tonopah Belmont
moved IN to 8, new top price since the
reopening of the exchange. Lehigh VAL
ley Transit preferred rose n point and
Lehigh Valley Railroad recovered all of
its earlier loss, closing strong at 67H.
In the purely local group slight adj
vances were recorded in Keystone TelC-
phone the Lehigh Navigation shares and
Rapid Transit. Philadelphia Electric and
Cambria steel ruled practically un-
changed. Pennsylvania strength was all
the more surprising in view of the fact
that it is largely held abroad and the
recent dividend developments.
Tho payment of the Cambria disburse-
ment in scrip and the passing of the Van
dalia dividend has aroused discussion as
to the probable action of the directors
of another Pennsylvania subsidiary, the
Pan Handle when they meet near
the end OF this month. In the first two
quarters OF this year the dividends on
both preferred and common were reduced
and the latter was passed entirely in
June. The payments are now made SEMI
annually so that whatever action is
taken will cover the last half of the cur
rent fiscal year ending December 81.
