ket At intervals the market seemed
to approach the edge Of strong rCac-

met moro or less selling pressure. This
selling, however, was unimpOrtant and

the consequence of hc!atcd borrowing.

The colorlcSs character OF the selling

confirmed by the markets treatment

LOCAL PRICES SHADE OFF
UNDER MODERATE SELLING
Continued Dribblng Liquidation Evidence in Several Parts
Of the List-Rapd Transit Stories

The local market in many respects was
an exact replica of the immediate pre-
ceding sessions. Irrcgularity would pos
slbly be the fairest description Of the
trend. Three were weak spots, there
was further evidence of liquidation in
quiet sort of way, there was testi-
mony of shifting Of Investment hold
ing in order to, obtain n larger return
of income and there were few strong
spots.
The machine like character of the
dealings, however, robbed the days
operations of significance. The volume
of transactions was fairly large. quite
well distributed and iutcrSpersed with
the exchange of some large blocks. That
is to say, larger than is usually wit
messed in the local exchange operations.
Probably two or more noticeable
movements of the day occurred in Le-
high Navigation and Pennsylvania Salt.
with the former dropping 81 to GO, and
the latter 10 cents to 13M, both new
low records for the year. Pennsylvania
Railroad was also sold freely, and
hovcred around the bottom notch at
IL 4.
At the same time United Gas I'm
prOvcment ran INTO fresh selling, and
in recpding to J23S lost most of the re-
cent improvement. Philadelphia Elec-
tric was supplied at 241a, but was
supported at that figure. Lake Su-
perior Corporation yielded to 10ai.
keystone Telephone common was a
feature of strength, advancing 81 20 to
ID. making net gain of SO within
the lat few days. American Stores
advanced - cents to 40L, and earlier
in the day sold up to 4O& Insurance
Co. of North America advanced 80
cents to 30 12.
The days dealings were enlivened to
some extent by unusually large dealings
in several of the New York stocks.
Included among these was sale of a
block of 800 shares of New Nork, New
Haven and Hartford and block of
800 shares of Chicago, Milwaukee and
st. Paul.
The rather fantastic stories concern
ing the financing plans of the Philadel-
phu Rapid Transit Co. had no effect
whatever markctwise on that stock or
the shares of any of the underlying
companies. This was not unnatural, as
most of these reports. as those pre-

Another interest who has the rcputs

that the lease or the Union Traction BY
the Philadelphia Rapid Transit was
made for period of 900 years at n
yearly guaranteed dividend of 6 per cent

Furthermore, that lease was written
by layman. not by n lawyer. 1t was

Accordingly the stock list was heavy

than as a result of liquidation. At

New York, Dec. 9.-Iu the early af

1t was felt that the coal controversy
was near definite settlement, and this
restricted selling, whereas reports of an
casing snot basis at some southern mar

limited demand.

Chicago. Dec. 9.-There was an
excellent demand for corn from commis-

strike would come promptly.
The undertone was little easier at
the outset, but the losses were PROMPTLY

The drastic orders issued by Director
General of Railways Hines and Fuel
Administrators Garfield to bring about n
reduction of the consumption of fuel,
and further reccSsions in live hogs, had
n bearish effect Ia the initial tradings.
It was thought that on the return of
the miners to the -''s industries would

this source would take care of arrivals
