In another column of The Republi-
can today Mr.. Herman Creutzburg, of
Oakland, advertises for sale his entire
stock of general merchandise, consist
ing of a general line, also his real es-
tate located on Alder street opposite
the First National Bank. Mr.. Creutz-
burg's only reason for offering his
property is on account of failing
health and desire to retire from ac-
tive business. The stock of merchan-
disc is one of the largest and best Sc
lected in the town and the location is
one of the most desirable. There is
bargain in the purchase of this prop
erty for some one who is acquainted
with the mercantile business.
A letter received yesterday after

killed or wounded during the engage
ment in the Argonne forest, begin

and cables 4.1SH. Ruble currency was

FINANCIAL ORLD-NEW PHILADELPHIA STOCK QUOTATIONS.
EXTREME WEAK NESS OF U.G.I
FOREMOST LOCAL FEATURE
Persistent Lqudatng Pressure Forced The Stock Down So
Trading in Other Locals Limited

While the continued weakness Of the
other local issues. the market, as
whole, made very disappointing re-
sponse to the spirited recovery in the
New York market. The local contingent.
judging from the character of the days
operations. are still indisposed to re-
newed activities until the labor situa-
tion is more clarified.
This restr&nt was reflected in the
rather limited character of the deal
ings. Prices, however, in the majority
were toward Improvement. With the
exception of Electric Storage Battery.
the variations, as a rule, were confined
within fractional limits Electric Stor-
age Battery rallied 81 to 14S, but later
surrendered all of the gain. The re-
bound likewise lacked the snap which
had attended the rallies in the preceding
recovery movements.
On very limited transactions, Ameri-
can Stores advanced % cents to 4O1l
Lake Superior also, on meager dealings.
rallied 30 cents, later losing half of the
gain. keystone Telephone recovered Is
cents of the recent decline on a better
understanding of the company's financ-
ing plans. Philadelphia Electric and
Philadelphia Rapid Transit just about
held their own. They were handicapped
to some extent by .the extreme weakness
of United Gas Improvement. Among
the inactive, issues, Pennsylvania Salt
advanced 81 to 81, while American Gas
lost 81 at 4SR. Cramps yielded 50 to
21O on small dealings.

The extreme weakness of United Gas
Improvement overshadowed all other
operations in today's Vocal market. The
stock was again under constant liqui-
dating pressure. which forced the price
down $2.75 to SO, the lowest price it
has touched in many years. The SELL
ing movement, while not urgent, was
persistent, and the support which in
the latter part of last week served to
steady the price was apparently with =
drawn: With the demand very linn
tied almost each succeeding offering
was made at an additional concession.
The low quotation today represents a
net decline from the high price of the
year CT $21.5
The motive of the selling still con
tinued more or less of mystery. Some
of the local interests who all during
the current liQuidatipg movement in the
stock have stubborRly adhered to the
opinion that no change would be made
in the dividend rate. somewhat modi-
fed that belief today. AT least, one
of prominent banking interest stated
that while he was still of the same
opinion of the s per cent per annum
rate being sustained. there was prob
ability of the management paying the
next few quarterly dividends in scrip
instead of cash. This scrip, he said,
would carry interest at the rate of 6
per cent, and which, at the same time,
would permit the management to OBJ =
tain necessary funds for corporate pur
poses cheaper than going into the money
market.
