ELECTRIC STORAGE LED
THE LOCAL MARKET
Rapid Transit July Earnings
Created Favorable Comment.
Cambria Steel Well Taken

In comparison with recent days trad
ing on the Philadelphia Stock Exchange
was quiet today, Prices on the whole wero
generally upward In the morning, but
gains were not large, being confined ts
fractions. Interest appeared to be con-
hned TO the steel shnres, and as usual
United States steel was the most active,
but Cambria Steel was the most active
OF the distinctly local Issues
The demand for Cambria appeared Z,
he good. Much OF the recent buying OF
this stock has been for New York ac-
count and Il is understood that IL viii
soon be listed on the big board In New
York To this end, 1t is said that prs-
iiminary steps have already been taken
not only In the case of Cambria but
pennsylvania steel as well, which has
also been bought to some extent by New
York interests During the early morn
ing Cambria gained so cents. but lost 1t
before midday
Following the trend of tho New York
market prices became reuctionary in the
afternoon. Losses, however were mostly
confined to fractions, although In Bald
win there was a loss OF ~ by o'clock.
More attention was paid to the bond di-
vision in the afternoon, but trading was
nat active. Late in the day Electric
Storage became quite active and moved
w easily, gaining n good d-slzcd fraction
Tor the day The majority OF the local
list was off. Thirteen shares Of United
Companies of New Jersey. an inactive
stock, changed hands at 22Ots, off ga from
the last previous sale
Philadelphia Rapid Transit made no re-
sponse to the good earnings statement
for July, the first month of the COM
panys new fiscal year. and which came
out after the close yesterday.
The stock did not open up in the morn
Ing. but around midday the trust certin-
Gates appeared on the tape at unchanged
prices. Gross passenger earnings, while
they showed Il decrease of Sl136O, were
very much better than In May when they
were &2SSG0l smaller, no monthly report
having been issued In June, as the an
nual report came out at that time. BY
cutting operating expenses $4,000. the
company was able to show an increase OF
S30,6iS in net
The fact that the gross earnings were
only a little more than $1,000 smaller
was favorably commented on, and many
pointed cut that the competition of the
jtncys apparently was not so great, AMI
July of any month in the year was the
one In which the small cars should have
made the largest inroads into the com
pany's earnings, with tho parks open AMI
with summer traffic at the highest point

Missouri Pacific, which was yesterday

a october 15 inclusive. Some attention
~,s attracted to Rock Island, which

ADVANCED by traders that the Company's
slrectors might be obliged TO reimburse
the company for some disbursements to
ofbcers and others, for which the Inter-
state Commerce Commission could not
Ana adequate service rendered.
throughout the afternoon the tendency
ras rcactionary one, and the spe-
tsltles were the greatest losers on the
ssiback. AS an argument for driving
down these issues, there was talk of a
general strike OF machinists at muni-

strong.
There was a good rally a few minutes
before the close which carried virtually
