9-NEV YORK AND PHILADELPHIA STOCK PRI
AMERICAN SHIP BRIGHT
SPOT OF LOCAL MARKET
While Irregular General List Showed Stronger Tone-Muc
Road Building to Be Done :.

American Ship and Commerce was
the bright spot of today's brief local
market. Following in line with the bril-
liant debut the stock made on the big
exchange fairly active demand sprang
up at the outset. This carried the price
forward TX points to 3015, or in other
words, the quotation was kept in close
parity with the New York figure. The
full gain was not maintained, as ac-
cruing profits to those who had pur-
chased stock earlier in the Week were
too tempting to resist. According to
the board reports, however, all Offer
ipgs were readily absorbed, and too in
the parlance of the street, the buying
was of much better caliber than the
selling.
In the general local list the trading
was of the familiar half holiday char
acter, and, to large extent, repre-
sented the customary evening up of the
trading element. While price changes
were mixed, the general tone of the
market was stronger. Electric Storage
Battery eased off to 81, but the deal
ings were of Insignificant proportions.
Another n was shaved off Philadelphia
Company cumulative preferred. Phila-
delphia Electric moved up ", indicat-
ing the floating supply stock at par
had been pretty we'll cleaned up.
Philadelphia Rapid Transit lost n on
light offering. United Gas Improve

great deal Of this kind OF work by rea-
son Of the war conditions.
Many of the municipalities and
smaller local governments found IL diff
fcult to obtain funds for such work
because of the scarcity Of loanabls
funds or the prohibitive rates of inter-
est.
Conditions are rapidly changing, and
straw in the wind in this connection
Is furnished by the review of recent
sales Of state and municipal issues By
the Daily Bond Buyer. This shows
402 states and municipalities succeeded
during August in disposing Of 521 is
sues of bonds, aggregating a par value
of $57 ,022 ,2S0. This brought the total
for the current year to $40 ,095 500,
against $262, ,S1S, ,S44 In the corresponds
ing period last year.
This shows the remarkable headway
made with the vast authorizations which
had accumulated during the war period
and, in addition, a large proportion
of the bonds voted last spring have been
successfully marketed.
During the balance of the year, il
is conservatively estimated, bond sales
will average $40 200, 900 a month. At
that rate the years total would be ap-
proximately 5000, GOO, 900, or more than
500, ,000, 900 in excess of any previous
annual fotation of domestic, state and
municipal issues.
In view of the cry for ''good roads"
it can be naturally assumed large
portion of this vast sum will be used
in road building or new street paving.
The General Asphalt Company some
time ago retired from the paving bust
ness, but they still furnish the con-
tractor with the materials to do it.

STABILITY LACKING
IN STOCK MARKET
Price Fluctuations Narrow and
Trading Mixed Due to Sat-
urday Absenteeism
STREET IN WAITING MOOD
Stock sales today on the New York
exchange. as compiled by the Evening
Sun, totaled 38S, 800 shares.

New York, Sept. 6.-The New York
Evening Suns financial review this
afternoon is as follows:
Prices in today's short session OF the
stock market lacked stability and trad
ing had mixed character. Fluctuations
were narrow and it appeared the easier
thing to do to depress values than it
was to advance them. This was doubt
less due in large measure to Saturday
absenteeism. Those who felt it incum-
bent upon them to be in their offices
or in commission houses were there
more in the capacity of watchers than
of participants.
The fact that the President had re-
piled to Mr.. Gompers's telegram, dis
patched yesterday, was scarcely mar
ket factor, since the labor leader de-
clined to divulge its contents. The
Streets best guess was that the Presi-
dent advised patience on the part OF
the union men in such manner as to
act as soothing influence at the Tues
day meeting.
Judge Gary stated that no efforts had
been made. so far as he knew, to induce
him to change his attitude, and, this
being so, it is not probable that much
can be done to that end between now
and Tuesday.
Another bit Of interesting news con-
tained in the Washington dispatch was
that there was a good chance Of the
Edge bill being introduced before the
day was over. This bill will provide
for the organization of corporations un-
der the aegis Of the government whose
function will be to establish credits in
pursuance of the promotion of other
foreign trade. Bankers see in some such
measure the only remedy for falling ex-
change rates.
There was a still further slump in
sterling, francs and lire the first yield
ing to below 81 IA, the second to S.37
francs to the dollar and the last to OF
lire to the dollar.
There was little either to attract o,
market, and not a great deal of actor
is anticipated In the two sessions be
tween now and the holiday on Wednes
day in observance of the Pershini
parade.
The ups and downs of Steel gave ,
fairly accurate guidance for market in
vestments on the whole. 1t opened I
point down at 1O3A, sold up to 104a as
gave way to 1033s, once more crosses
104 and finally dropped below that level
This sort of thing was characteristic o
summer Saturday session in whic
there was nothing new to encourage tn
bears, nor yet to induce the bulls t
do more than watch what their seal
orders might bring them.
The oils displayed some strengt
from time to time. Lackawanna Steel
Marine common, United States Rubbe
and Keystone Tire were among the fe,
issues in which demand was better tha
the supply.

NEW YORK COFFEE MARKET

New York, Sept. 6.-Prices sagged
right after the call in the coffee market.
with March selling to 17.10 and May
to IT, or 5 points below the end of yes
terday.
The lack of orders from the interior
for actual coffee has tended to check
aggressive bullish enthusiasm, and prices
in the local spot market are nominal
at 1871 for Rio Is.
There has been no active demand
from the interior for some time back,
and, while some buyers may be fairly
well supplied at the moment, it is be
lieved that others will soon be COM
pelled to enter the market for a re-
plenishment of supplies.
