NEW HIGH RECORD
FOR CAMBRIA STEEL
Electric Storage Battery Jump
ed Four Points at the Open
ing-Heavy Sales

IL was another day OF wide fluctuations
and heavy trading on the local exchange
Cambria Steel and Electric Storage Bat
terry made new tops for the present move
ment while the Asphalt issues, Lehigh
Navigation and others advanced sharply.
Approximately 10000 shares Of Cambria
changed hands today and about 12,4OO
Electric Storage Battery.
Electric Storage Battery opened just
points above last nights close. exactly
1885 shares changing hands at rs. The
next sale was 1900 shares at n and
the price then fell to as. Thereafter the
market became steader and later rallied
to the opening figure. Flat denial was
made by brokers generally credited with
operating for the widener estate that any
Of its holdings had been sold. This may
have been stimulating influence,
although the New York trading element
was chiefly responsible for the rise. The
advance I'm Storage as well as that of
Cambria Steel were all the more note
worthy because they came at a time when
the general market was inclined to be re-
dictionary.
II was said that General Electric inter
ests were buyers of Storage. This Is
not the first time that the big New
York Company has been reported invest
ing in local securities. 1t is generally
believed in the Street that the company,
OF interests closely connected with it,
mold large block of Philadelphia Elec-
trio shares, so that it would not be sur
prising If the potential possibilities OF
the Electric Storage Battery Company
mad not appealed to the astute financiers
at the head Of General Electric. The
early advance was not fully held to the
close. the final figure being 1858, gain
of l5k.

As one explanation for the rise the
suggestion was made that the Frick-

ercsed. The right of purchase is said to
be placed at $50 per share There was
also story that the stock might be listed
on the New York Exchange. Except for
rise of over point in Philadelphia Com

IMPROVEMENT SHOWN
IN LOCAL BUSINESS
Cotton Yarn Advanced Cent in
Price During Deek-Col-
lections Fair

An improvement is reported for the
last week in the cotton and cotton-yarn
trade, says r. @. Dun e. Co. in their
local weekly review. Cotton yarn has
advanced about one cent in price during
the last week and the volume Of business
Is fair. While knitters are not so busy
as they should be at this season Of the
year, conditions are fairly satisfactory
and especially so among the weavers.
Most weaving mills report that they are
now more active and have more orders
on hand than for some time past Con-
dtions generally in this line OF trade
are reported as being in a healthy condi-
ton, and those associated with these
lines are optimistic as TO the future.
IN the local wool trade, while no par
ucular activity is reported, the demand
Is fair and prices well maintained. The
woolen mills report a good business but
trade with worsted manufacturers is very
quiet.
Those consulted in the hardware trade
AT this time report a better feeling OF
conndence for fall business than has been
previously exhibited. The iron and steel
market continues to reflect considerable
business Tor export purposes and plants
that are engaged directly or Indirectly
IN the manufacture OF such articles as
enter into commodities for export are
busy while those dependent on purely
domestic trade are more quiet. Mills are
wei nlled up with orders and deliveries
are dlfhcult to obtain for prompt serv-
ice. Prices have an upward tendency
me DIG iron market is active and n
sood general demand is reported. Fin
lsheu material Is firm and structural ma
terlal Is reported in good demand Col
iecuohs are stated to be fair. The elec-
ttlcal trade reports a good volume OF
business with considerable activity in
connection with building operation work
ana a satisfactory trade in household spe-
cialties. Prices are reported steady ana
corrections fair The stove trade reports
taI business opening satisfactorily ana
foundries are operating with somewhat in
creased capacity. Collections fair.
Leather dealers report an active trade
and good prices for better grades Of
leather Collections improved. Millinery
dealers state the fall season OF the nres.
eht year has opened with encouraging or
season.
The chemical market is fairly active.
an average amount Of business is being
zone. although buying is principally in
small lots for immediate needs The situ-
ation in dyestuffs remains unchanged. no
foreign dyes are coming in and stocks
are settling low and prices are high,
me paper market shows some Iittla
activity, a fair amount of business is be-
ing done, although very few large orders
are being placed. The trade in domestic
lear tobacco has been a little more active
during the last week, but the volume of
business Is not up to the standard, al
though prospects are considered fair for
future business.

ket turned strong and active in the af-
ternoon session. Trading was very wide.
Advances in this class of stocks were
eenerally around a point while in some
cases such as Reading and Canadian
Pacific, the gains were greater. Liquida-
tion of the rails for foreign account was
not as large as had been expected in
the morning, and this was help on the
upturn. The chief reason for the turn
ing of interest to the railroads was the
betterment in railroad earnings which is
becoming more and more apparent. The
Interstate Commerce Commission today
reported that 100 of the leading roads in
the country earned S6,1S3,12 124 more during
July than they did in the same month of
the previous year. The closing was ir-

strong while some of the industrials
showed losses.
