REFUSAL OF COMMISSION TO APPROVE
CONDUIT CONTRACT CAUSES SURPRISE
Financial District Had Expected That Agreement Be
tween Philadelphia Electric and Keystone Telephone
Would Go Through-Guesses on Steel Tonnage

The local financial d strict today was very
much surprised at the announcement from
Harrisburg that the Public Service Com
mission had refused 10 approve the agree
ment between tho. Philadelphia Electric
Company and the Keystone Telephone Com
pany for the use by the philadelphia Eiec-
trio Company Of the condu Is OF the Key
stone company.
The fact that there was no ruling In the
case. as announced In she Harrisburg dis
patch. puzzled the street somewhat as 20
what the real meaning Of this was Whcth-
er the agreement between tho two com
panics if presented in a different FORM
would he sanctioned by the commission, tho
street could not guess. This, however, was
the impression In some quarters
Since the agreement was reached be-
tween the companies the financial district
had generally felt that the commission
would give It approval as the opinion was
that the contract would he beneficial 20
January I. 1915. and It had been lying be-
fore the Public Service Commission for
about year. The Street thought that the
contract was particularly advantageous to
the Keystone Telephone Company, mas
much as the company had the right of re-
cali at any time that the conduits were
needed 10 extend the business.
The contract provided that the Keystone
Telephone Company was to receive a mini
mum rental Of f2S,000 a year for the first
year and an increase OF Sl2.5o0 a year
thereafter until the amount reached Sioo,-
00A, the 100000 year TO be paid during
the remainder OF the contract. Stock OF
either company was not adversely affected
IN the trading on the stock Exchange, In
fact, Keystone stock sold up a fraction and
'P, X" was unchanged
Much uncertainty Is shown In tho esti-
mates OF the showing to he made by the
United states Steel Corporation in It's
statement Of untitled orders as of Augusi
81, TO be issued tomorrow. Those who
usually have been closest In their forecasts
do not look for any material change from
