Little activity developed in any issue
during todays trading on the Phila-

exceptions. price changes were small.
Among these exceptions were losses of
point each by storage Battery and

slons were recorded on trifing trans
actions
The reported shutdown OF the plant OF
the Electric Storage Battery Company
yesterday may have been the influence
that caused a loss in that stock but
since it has been learned that work in

due to the coal shortage and because Of
the announcement today that operations

tie incentive for weakness in the stock
and it was the general belief that the
loss was only temporary. At the same
time it was thought by brokers that
the further decline in Pennsylvania Salt
