LOCAL SECURITIES
SHOWED FRMNESS
Electric Storage, Keystone
Telephone, Lehigh Navigation
and Phila. Electric in Demand

For a pre-holiday Saturday market
trading was quite brisk in the local ex-
change and included a number OF stocks
which have been dormant for some time,
such as Keystone Telephone, Philadelphia
Electric and Lehigh Navigation. Electric
Storage Battery. however, continued to
be the chief centre of attraction, with
Cambria Steel a close second.
Storage Battery accomplished its Gus
toniary trick of late. opening up very
strong and then slipping back, only to
rally again at the close. The initial
rise this morning of nearly two points
was quickly followed by heavy selling,
and the price reacted below Fridays
close. Here fresh support appeared and
the stock closed up nearly 81. Cambria
Steel fluctuated more narrowly, but APP
peared to meet considerable stock each
time the price approached close to so.
1t will be recalled that this is the figure
at which the Frick-Donner interests are
supposed TO hold an option on the Penn
sylvania majority holdings. The stock
is also said to be In process of grooming
for Its debut on the New York Stock EX-
change. II is also quite possible that the
recent rise has been engineered for the
purpose of establishing a substantial pre-
MUM above par so as to give the man
aGement an opportunity to issue the
$5.OO0O00 stock remaining I'm the treasury.
Keystone Telephone advanced a point,
anu the preferred also hardened. HUNT
ingdon ana Broad Top rose 81 to Z, while
Lehigh Navigation appeared to be
scarce and light demand was sufficient
to lift II a substantial fraction. On the
other hand, Pennsylvania Steel preferred.
despite much optimistic talk on the fu-
ture OF the company, was inclined to sag.
United States Steel remained Quiescent
The week ends with the steel mills
finding themselves under the greatest
pressure of the year. and, in fact. OF sew
eral years. Fancy prices are being paid
for unfinished steel, such as above $26
Pittsburgh aud above $50 Philadelphia de-
livery for rolling billets and $40 and
higher for forging billets.

chases Of Pennsylvania Railroad shares
