CRAMP SHARES
TOOK A TUMBLE
Erratic Fluctuations Aroused
Interest-Baldwin and Cen
eral Asphalt Moved Up.

Irrosularlty marked the dealings on the
Philadelphia Stock Exchange today.
Business continued on fairly brisk
scale, and traders appeared to be taking
profits In those Issues which have re-
Gently enjoyed substantial advances and
switching TO other stocks which have re-
mained relatively duiet Cramp Ship
building eased on, whereas Lake su-
perior, the General Asphalt stocks and
Electric Storage Battery moved up.
Baldwin Locomotive was another strong
spots, Cramps was especially crratic
opening at 5lA and selling down 20 81,
only to recover most Of its loss before
midday In the afternoon the market
relapsed Into dullness. Cramp crept up to
60, but slipped off to 59i5 at the last.
New York houses were said to be buy

In It's opinion OF the May report which
by the way, was Issued a week ahead Of
tho usual time. Estimating the June
gross earnings on the same basis COM
pared with last year as those Of May
the annual report To- be Issued In July
should show decrease Of about 81 l5S.-
$40 IN gross and a surplus Of approxi-
mately S235, 500, compared with s3lO 236 the
previous year. While some OF ths de-
crease may be attributed to competition
from the jitney bussss, n large propor-
ton Is due to the unemployment and
poor weather conditions last month, which
reduced tho traffic to parks.
a feature of the dealings in the bond
department was the brisk buying OF
pennsylvania General Mortgage ~ per
cent temporary certificates some $4,000
changed hands during the first hour
alone, one block of $4,000 being taken.
CITY 4s OF 1912 sold Mt 1914 Despite tho
reports Of large war order for the j. G.
BriH Company no sales OF its securities
were reported. The rumor was denied
by officials Of the company, which is said
TO be operating about 70 per cent. Of
capacity
Inc money market in this city shows
little or no change from recent weeks.
Hish-srade commercial paper continues
exceedingly scarce, as business firms
with borrowing names have no incentive
TO obtain funds on their paper, and most
war orders are understood to have been
financed from abroad direct Rates are
quoted from tC 4 per cent, according
to maturity and names, but practically
no business is being done under 3h per
cent.

How Many Tires We Use,

In round numbers there are now
100000 automobiles in the country
and not one of them can possibly get
along with less THAI four tires a year.
The most conservative estimate must
place the number per car at six tires
a year. This would be 100000 tires.
In addition there are scheduled for
manufacture during 1915 not less than
100000 new cars, which must be fitted
with at least 100000 new tires, max
ing total of at least 100000 tires.
In reality the number is much greater,
even though a million or more tires
are ''retreated," fitted with covers"
etc. Taxicabs and some of the high
powered converted racing cars could
not possibly get along with less than
20 tires year. The money spent for
tires in 1914 in the United States alone
probably exceeded $500, 100000.

In one sense the opera is one Of the
oldest forms Of entertainment. for its
origin is T. he found In the old Greek
drama. In its modern sense, however,
it dates from the year 1900, when Peri
produced the first true Italian opera to
grace the festivities Of the marriage of
dici The work attracted great atten-
ton, and many Italian mobiles figured
In the cast. In France the opera was
the outcome of the ballet and in Eng
to the honor of producing the first real
English opera, although one of Ben
Jonson's Mosques was set to music as
early as 1917.
