STEEL SHARES SOAR
LED BY CAMBRIA
Heavy Buying Lifts Local Issue
to New Top Price-Stor-
age Also Strong

A new high record for Cambria steel
and sharp recovery In Electric storage
Battery were the outstanding features OF
the dealings on the Philadelphia Stock
Exchange this morning, Heavy buying
OF Cambria set in from the start, and
the quotation was rapidly lifted across
81 Houses with New York connections
were the principal buyers and we're per-
sistent in asserting that the stock would
soon be listed I'm Wall street. Whether
the traders there will be so eager to pur-
chase the shares when they see them
quoted at l2S per cent or thereabouts for
per cent. divldend-paying industrial
remains to be seen.
1t is inevitable that the price will be
compared with other steel issues, such as
Republic Iron and Steel preferred, selling
around 1ol, and paying Z per cent, with
some accumulated back dividend war
rants still to be settled, and United States
Steel preferred. selling around 113, and
paying per cent. About 5000 shares of
Cambria changed hands during the first
hour alone, and about 5000 for the day.
PENNSYLVANIA Steel preferred again rose
to IS, yesterdays top price, and then went
fraction higher, while United States
Steel was also buoyant There were slight
reactions at the close.
With reference to the rise In Electric
Storage Battery, Il was said that a weak
long account had been pretty we'll elm
mated during the last few days, and that
the stock was now in a stronger technical
position. Elsewhere the market was gen.
orally quiet, but on the whole firm, re-
iecting TO a moderate extent the improve
ment In Wall street United Gas Inn
provement moved up a fraction on the
eclaration of the regular quarterly divi-
dend, while Rapid Transit also hardened
Philadelphia Electric moved up to 25 in
the final dealings.

LONDON, Sept. 9.-Generally the Stock
Exchange markets were lstless today,
with irregularity in evidence, although the
feeling continued cheerful. After ad-
vancing, the war loans, which were active,
turned easier. Home rails hestated be-
cause of renewed demand for higher
wages
Americans were irregular. Favorable
crop statistics from the Dominion were
responsible for the optimism In Canadians.
Support was furnished 10 the Russian is

shipping descriptions, and the tone was
strong. The shares everywhere were
scarce. South American rails were dull
Mines were firm in spots and oils were
