HOLIDAY INACTIVITY
ON LOCAL EXCHANGE
Heaviness in Wall Street Is
sues Failed to Cause Liquida-
tion of Philadelphia Stocks.

Holiday dulness continued to prevail on
the Philadelphia market. The resumption
OF business today found commission
houses lacking in orders and floor traders
were in no mood TO do business until the
foreign situation becomes clearer. One
satisfactory feature on the local ex-
change. however, was that where New
York issues were inclined to sag, purely
local shares merely remained inert.
Transactions throughout the greater part
of the session were confined to odd lots
and price changes we're almost nil ex-
cept in such arbitrage shares as U. s.
steel, Reading, Pennsylvania and Lehigh
Valley.
After the annual meeting Of the Le-
high Navigation Company, where the
management was questioned as to the
success of the Harwood Electric ven
ture and also as to the relatively nigh
operating ratio, the stock declined sub
stantial fraction. A block of 600 Rapid
Transit sold at 10, a slight recession from
Saturdays close.
In the late trading Cambria Steel weak
ened to 81, against i17s earlier in the day.
American Gas and Electric lost over a
point, but otherwise stagnation ruled and
the market closed dun and steady.
In the bond division similar stagna-
tion prevailed except for a certain amount
OF buying of ca nbria Steel scrip. Elec-
trio and Peoples 4s were in moderate de-
mand also. incidentally II became known
that the City Treasurer had sent letters
to the local national banks and trust
con panies holding deposits of city funds,
asking whether they desire to continue
holding these deposits after March "a
and pay interest to the city at the rate
of 2Ia per cent per annum. Councils re-
Gently passed an ordinance increasing the
interest rate from 2 to 2h per cent, ef-
fective on the above date
A majority of institutions have replied
to the letter, expressing willingness to
keep the deposits at the higher rate. The
new rate also applies to the city's three
active repositories, the Third Franklin
and Market Street National Banks, which
now pay no interest on city funds.
Money rates remained practically un-
| altered, but a slight increase in demand
for funds was noted in certain quarters
The opinion is held by some that, with
the end of the month requirements out
of the way, the call rate may be dropped
to 31a per cent. At present there is very
| little inquiry for money on call, and
brokers are being offered plenty at
| per cent.

APARTMENT HOUSE NEEDED.
The need of centrally located house
keeping apartment house frequently has
been pointed out. the rentals not to be
higher than $500 TO $1,000 per annum. 1t
would be suitable for young couples to
begin married life in. Finding suitable
home in favored localities at moderate
rent always has been one of the difficult
ties of the newly -weds. and often ends In
getting a much too expensive house ana
beginning life where the means of the
couples parents would place them, but
at an expense not possible within their
own income, thereby establishing false
standard.
The market is entirely void of propo-
sitlon such as just outlined. and its sue
cess. from every point of view, would be
certain before the building was under
roof.
OF course, combination of interests has
some drawbacks. but the balance Is In
their favor; certainly from the standpoint
of less care and smaller expense in oper-
alton, as far as the family is concerned.

NuVv YORK, Feb. 23-There was a
,.roe accumulation Of selling orders when

LEHIGH NAVIGATION MEETING
Management Questioned on Electric
Developments.

At the Lehigh Coal and Navigation
Company's annual meeting today william
Jay Turner presided and II. +. Baker
acted as secretary. When the stockhold-
ers were invited TO ask any questions
concerning the report, George II. Stephen
son asked why the operating ratio of the
company was higher than in other coal
companies. He cited that the ratio of
operating expenses to gross receipts of
the Lehlgh Coal and Navigation Company
was about S5 per cent, whereas In the
Lehigh and Wilkes-Barre Coal Company
1t was 20 per cent.
President S. d. Warmer In reply
stated that the output of the two com
panies is different, the Lehigh and Wilkes
Barre having about 6s per cent. of its
total in prepared domestic sizes, for which
the higher prices are received, while OF
the Lehigh Coal and Navigation's output
about "a per cent. Is in prepared sizes.
Mr.. Stephenson suggested that the COM
pany's properties be leased 10 increase
the net income per ton, and the president
said that the present expenses include
many charges that would have to be met
nv the company II the mines were leased.
Mr., Stephenson asked about the condi-
tion OF the Harwood and the Lehigh
Navigation electric companies saying
that he had been informed the latter was
not a success. President Warmer de-
clined to discuss the Harwood Electric
Company. He said that as the Lehigh
Navigation Electric Company has only
been In operation since last May II is too
early to Judge whether or not It is a
success A motion was adopted approx
ing the annual report and the acts of the
hoard of managers last year The cleo
tion then held, Mr.. Warmer being re-
elected president and member of the
board OF managers. and all other mem
bers OF the board were Reelected.

A very interesting phase of the real
estate market Is the absorption by build
ers and keen observers of the trend of
affairs in outlying estates which. after
having been held in families for many
years, have reached a point where they
are considered ready to be converted into
sites for homes.
There are many such properties to be
found along the line of Baltimore, Ches-
ter and Woodland avenues; many more in
Frankford and Germantown, and not a
few in the central part of the city.
One by one they are coming into the
market and the trader and the builder
know but little of what Is going on
behind the scenes,
The struggle for wealth is the under
lying reason. Those of us who only see
the transfer know little of the regret
when II was felt best in the interest of
all to sell the old estate, We talk of
the advancing market. of the broadening
of the built-up portion, and while the old
home is absorbed, we comment as to
whether the price is high or low
OPTIMISTS LEAD.
In the United States the optlmist al
ways has had the best of 1t in the long
run, and those who are sanguine about
the future in the real estate world have
reaped a great harvest.
We are always inclined to be cautious
and conservative. but even with both of
these qualities well in view, future profit
seems to lie largely in the line of pro-
vidIng homes. We anticipate the increase
in the population and we know about
what future home buyers will want.
METHODS CHANGED
In the old days, when building was not
such fine art and there We're not the
many improvements now to be found in
the most modest dwellings. homemaker
bought a lot. visited an architect and
went over plans. hunted UP builder
started the work and paid for the con-
struction as 1t progressed.
Now the buyer obtains house which
has been built to sell, for the reason thai
he can get more for his money than BY
doing his own building and taking the
chance of extras growing daily from his
inexperience. These items often eat VI
the profits in a contract job, whereas al
experienced builder takes the creates
care TO cover the smallest detail.
APARTMENT PROPOSITION.
While the comforts of an individua
home are many, the apartment PROPOSE
tion undoubtedly is gaining in popularity
and is likely to occupy more attention
from now on. A few years ago apart
ments were looked on as experiments "
this city, and 1t was questioned whether
they would prove acceptable. Ploneefs
went boldly ahead; the servant problem
