HEAVY TRANSACTIONS
IN LOCAL SECURITIES
Big Buying Orders in Storage
Battery Sent Price to New
Level for Year.

The heaviest trading in Electric Stor-
age Battery which has been seen in
many a day occurred during the hrst
hour this morning on the Philadelphia
STOCK exchange. 1t was the work of
only few minutes to mark the stock
up from 5S, last nights close to 65. The
opening sale was at 6Ola. Large offerings
appeared at the high figures and the price
teil back. 1t was said that some of tho
selling came from New York, where
quite a considerable block of the stock
has teen held for some years. During
the hrst hour alone over $500 shares
changed hands. Westmoreland Coal rose

the first two showing a good deal of ac-
uvity. Later the traders turned to the
fractions and bid those issues up n sub
stantial fraction. So brisk was the gem
eral trading in stocks that bonds were
practically neglected.
The afternoon found little let up in
activity. A monentary reaction. in which
Baldwin Locomotive suffered n decline of
over point. was followed by renewed
buying of steel, which sent 1t to new
high for the last three years. Lake
superior jumped point, but the incomes
last nights close and Storage Battery
hardened also.
That there may be some big orders on
the books for the Electric Storage Bat
terry Company from foreign sources is
hardly to be doubted in view of the heavy
demands for batteries and other electric
supplies from war sources. The Allies
are, no doubt steadily Increasing their
submarine flotlllas, where the electrical
generator is an essential requisite. The
company, however, merely contents it
self with reporting a good increase in
general business and is said to be earn
ing little over per cent. on the stock.
From sources close to the management,
however, 1t was heard that negotiations
are under way for furnishing the equip
ment for a large number of war launches
for the English Government, and that
some announcement may be made before
the end of the week.
