Philadelphia Is in fair way to lose the
market for another of its most active
stocks Announcement was made today
that the Board of Directors OF the
Cambria Steel Company has decided to
take steps to have the shares listed on
the New York Stock Exchange. Although
for some time this move has been deemed
inevitable by those who were able to
Judge where the heavy purchases of
Cambria on this Exchange were going,
nevertheless the actual announcement
came as something of a shock to local
traders.
Every time Philadelphia issue be-
comes really prominently active tt seems
to be destined to be removed to wall
Street Local traders have watched the
process with increasing impatience, but
Lave been powerless to prevent 1t. In re-
cent years Philadelphia has lost the
main market for Reading, Pennsylvania,
Lehigh Valley, Philadelphia Company,
Baldwin Locomotive and Lake Superior,
and to a certain extent Cramps Ship
building Now comes Cambria which has
been for months by far the most prom
inent issue here, the volume of daily
trades in the stock alone often being
greater than the whole of the remain
der of the list taken together.
The Street was also disappointed that
nothing new in the way of information
concerning the rumored merger was
given out after the directors meeting
this morning. The stock was quiet and
rather heavy on change. The rest of
the list merely marked time, with narrow

The illness Of the Kaiser and uneer-
tainty regarding political developments
abroad checked buying. Export sales In
the last "a hours were small, being esti-
mated at only 100000 bushels.
A material falling Off In flour business
as compared with the preceding week was
reported at Minneapolis. Sales abroad
were limited. At Liverpool the decline in
wheat here yesterday was offset by a
scarcity OF supplies, and the market was
strong, with an urgent demand for spot.
1t was believed that little wheat would be
received at British points from exporting
countries, other than America, for the
week.
Additional reports came to hand with
regard to the rapidty of the harvest in
Argentina, where weather conditions are
favorable. Excellent weather for gather
ing the Australian crop also was reported.
The receipts at Minneapolis and Duluth
today were 1853 cars. against 434 cars

PRE-HOLIDAY TRADING
ON COTTON EXCHANGE
Prices Held Steady After Middle of
Day

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-Trading was OF
q pre-holiday character on the Cotton
Exchange this morning. only small lots
changing hands on the call. The tone
was steady. January showing an ad-
vance of one point. April being two
points higher. while the other months
were one to five points lower The fea-
ture was the selling by traders who
usually represent an important operator
and buying of the near months by New
Orleans houses with offerings OF the late
options by the same interests. The de-
mand was small and increased declines
of two to seven points were recorded be-
fore the end of the first seven minutes.
Liverpool came better than expected,
being fractlonally higher as against
losses of one-half to one and one-half
points expected. The ms 'ket was quiet.
Clear conditions prevailed in the cotton
belt. Temperatures were lower especi-
ally in the southeast where heavy frost
was reported.
The market was unsettled during the
middle of the morning and ruled s to 3
points under last nights closing figures
The steadiness of Liverpool and the we'll
maintained prices in the Southern spot
markets seemed to make title impression
on sentiment, while the reports of further
advices in ocean freight rates yesterday
led to increasing pessimism concerning the
export situation. Liverpool bought Janu-
airy, but was n seller of later months. and
there was scattering January liquidation,
part of which was replaced by purchases
of the later deliveries. Except that these
readjustments of commitments business
seemed to be confined to scattering liqui-
dation which was absorbed by limited
buying orders around the ring.
No fresh feature developed during the
middle of the day and prices held fairly
steady at rallies of a point or two from
the lowest. A wire from New Orleans
said that exporters were Offering the
highest basis of the season in the South.
Rumors of an easier turn in the spot
situation were not confirmed.
