Morgan Co. has started work on the
erection of a plant to manufacture
concrete blocks. The plant will be
located near the firms Office at Hur-

modern and up-to-date in every par
ticular and capable of turning out a
good quality of concrete blocks at a
good rate. There is big demand for
this kind of bpilding material for use
in the erecting of buildings at mines

100 900 blocks, which will be used in
the construction of buildings at the
Pabst mine. The contract price
amounts to s25, 900. The erection of
this new plant is simply another evil

Spccidl cable to the EuoHiup LedGcr
! LONDON, Ian. 3.-Thc stock markets
have been enlivened by quite a boom in

have ovcrtaken the supply. Whether the
purchases now will look well I'm one. two
or three years hence is another matter
which doesn't trouble the spectators.
Tho amount of money available for in
vcstment in attractive bargains is quite
surprising, and may be attributed TO the
savings of war profits. The strength of
the exchanges. assisted by the success
of the great French loan and by tho more
libtsal gold policy of the French Gov
crnment. is evidenced in the Bank of

fers from an excessive issue of paper

The Philadelphia market began the
new year in quiet mood. The sinking
of the two steamers in the Mediterranean
over the holiday had been expected to
knock prices down, but local brokers re-
ported comparatively light accumula-
tion of selling orders at the opening. and
after a slight setback, chiefly evident in
Cambria Steel, Storage Battery and the
arbitrage shares, support appeared and
the tone became steadier. There was no
tendency toward recovery, however The
actual changing of the city government
TODAY failed to stimulate the local public
utility Issues
The very favorable showing made by
the Pennsylvania Railroad in its No
vember report was constructive factor
of no mean Importance, and was taken
as a good criterion of the state of gen.

the country. Not only did the total
