STOCKS STAGNANT
IN PHILADELPHIA
Operations Confined to Evening
Up Over End of Month-Poor
Baldwin Report.

The local stock market was %stagnant
today. Operations were small and were
confined principally TO evening up over
the end of the month. Many members
Of the exchange went out of town for
over Sunday, and the attendance on the
floor Of the exchange was consequently
light. This was also the case In the board
rooms Of brokers' offices. No disposition
is vet shown by outsiders TO come into
the market, but on the whole the feeling
Is reported to be gradually growing
better. The attitude still appears to be
a waiting one.
What little trading there was was
confined principally to Pennsylvania
Railroad shares. Transactions In this IS
sue were mostly in odd lots, such as
two, three, FIVE and six shares, h
making It appear that small investors
were picking 1t up. The opening trans
action was at So 5-16, up lis from the
final of yesterday. In the later trading,
however, the advance was lost and II
sagged 3-16 below the closing OF yester-
day at So 1-16. At the close 1t regalned
to 52k. Fifteen shares of Lehigh VAL
ley sold at &C, UP 81 from the last pre-
vious sale, which was made on Mon
day at e5. The %company's general ~
per cent. bonds, on the other hand,
changed hands at 9th, off 20 cents from
the last sale.
About the only thing of interest was
the annual report OF the BALDWIN Locolno-
tive Works for the year ending DeGem-
ber 81, which showed that the company
had experienced one of the worst years
in It's history. The net profits equalled
only ia per cent. on the preferred stock,
or just enough to pay the dividend for
~one-quarter, while in the previous year
1871 per cent. was earned on the common
stock. The common stock was offered
at %. down "a from the final of yester-
day, with no takers, while tho preferred
sold at 80 for five shares, both at the Of
fetal minimum price.
An outstanding feature was du o In
ternntional Powder. for which g5ta was
bid, against so bid yesterday, when it was
offered at "a. The stock was quoted
earlier this week at IS bid. The stock of
the International Powder and Chemical
sold on the Exchange at 81, up 80 cents.
In their monthly statements to CUSTOM
ers today stock brokerage firms charged
from Az to 8 per cent interest on mar
gin accounts for the last month.
Just before the close II shares OF Elec-
trio Storage Battery sold at 40, up 81
from the opening transaction. Western
New York and Pennsylvania general As
changed hands at II, up 81 from the first
sale of the day.

GRAINS STRONGER ON
SALES FOR EXPORT
Advances Were Scored by All
Cereals at Close of Chicago
Market.

CHICAGO, Feb. ~2I.-Contlnued sales for
export and comparative frmnes of the
Liverpool market caused grains to close
strong today on the Board of Trade.
May wheat ended at $685.. UP Az cents
from the final Of yesterday, while July
closed at s1.24%, a gain of az cents Corn
was up 2Is cents for May and 2h cents
for July. May oats were 1ts cents and
July IL cents higher.
h market ruled irregular throughout
the session. Offerings were smell Cash
sales of corn here we're 795, 900 bushels,
OF which 100000 bushels were to ex-
p%orters. Oats sales we're 100000 bushels,
with $4,000 bushel for export. Hog prod
ucts were higher all around.
A prominent Chicago grain firm has re-
ceived a cable from Pome, asking for
an offer on 10000 900 bushels of wheat,
including 10000, 900 bushels OF No. 2 hard
winter wheat for shipment within 40
days, and 5000, 900 bushels of No. 2 spring
wheat for April-May shipment. This
order comes from n country which would
directly benefit by the opening of the
Dardanelles. 1t cannot be filled because
II cannot be secured.
The price of wheat in Northampton,
Eng, fell one shilling to ga shilllngs to-
day, as a result of the success of the
Allies attacking the Turkish forts at
the Dardanelles.
