LOCAL BROKERS LOOK FOR RISE n

Increasing Earnings of Transit System Attractno
Attention-War Orders for Lake Superior

Although the price Of New York stock
Exchsnge memberships has been steadily
advancing and is now at the highest
point Of the year. Philadelphia seats have
not enjoyed a proportionate Improvement
In value. Nevertheless the supply offer
ing at recent low figures has finally been
cleaned up With the sale OF a seat for
5000 this week II is understood that there
are no more offered under $500 Business
on the local exchange has been showing
notable Improvement, especially in the
last few months, and some disappoint-
ment has been expressed at the lack of
reflection Of this in the quotations for
memberships. Seats used to sell for
$4,000 or more and local brokers were
hopeful that with the taking Of the ex-
change uptown to It's new and palatial
quarters that marked change for the
better would develop. Unfortunately times
thereafter we're extremely bad, and only
recently has anything like a stock market
boom developed. Brokers now look for a
protracted period OF broad and active
trading, and express the opinion that the
price Of memberships will rise accord
ingly.
Today the market was fairly strong and
lively, but no very wide fluctuations were

tive at the rate of 5 per cent per annum,
and the back dividends amount to about

$50. The stock became cumulative Novem-
ber 3. 1910, and the initial dividend was
paid November 10, 1911, amounting to per
cent OF late the company's earnings
have shown suficient Improvement to
