STATE OF TRADE

The weekly trade reports indicate that
the general business situation has been
less adversely affected by the wide
spread labor unrest and the other un-
favorable factors than might have been
expected, and in some lines there has
been positive Improvement during the
last week with promise of further i'm
provement unless new and far reaching
strikes occur. In commenting on the
situation Bradstreets says, in part;
""Trade and industrial reports are
rather more favorable. Cooler weather,

calls for merchandise to fill previous

LOW BIDS ON CITY JOBS
TWO Bridges to Be Constructed.
Awards Held Up

Two city bridges are to be constructed
as the result of comparatively low com
petitive bidding by municipal cantrac
tors. One is on the line of Oxford
street over the Connecting Railway. and
the other is on Morris street, over the
Chestnut Hill branch, of the PennsyI-
vania Railroad,
The low bidder for the first bridge IL
NJ. & J. B. McIIugh at S7S 800, and
the low estimate for the second bridge
has been submitted by the r.. C. Fish
Company. The latter estimate is
$4S 900.
Director Datesman, of the Depart-
ment of Public Works, has on file pro-
posals for number of main sewers and
sections of fifty branch sewers. The
Ryan Construction Company's figure of
$235, 900 is low for the intercepting
sewer section along Frankford creek.
Another big sewer awaiting contract
award is the Bigler street sewer in
South Philadelphia. Emilio Pascuzzi Is
the low bidder for this work at $3.50,
1000 Most municipal contracts are be-
ling held up pending court ruling on
the Legality Of the city's loan program.

Electric Storage also came back
strong with rally of $3.50 to 147A.
Possibly the more encouraging de-
velopment of the morning was the ap-
parent withdrawal of liquidating pres
sure against L. g. |. The market
seemingly was well supported. with
buying orders around 5S, the low price
of the week. In all events, all the
stock offered at this figure found ready
takers. Interests supposedly close to
the management were even more en-
phatic today in their assertions that no
change will be made in the dividend
rate this year.

WEEK CLOSED WITH STRONG
ADVANCING LOCAL MARKET
Spirited Rebounds in General Aspha Shares and Electric
Storage Battery--U. G. L. Liquidation Checked

The week end session of the local
stock market opened with general i'm :
provement both in prices and in tone
The trading was uncommonly brisk for
the half holiday, and while the greater
part of the operations represented the
familiar evening up of the trading con
tingent, yet the about face turn in the
market trend was significant in that it
suggested a decided change of temper in
sentiment.
Specialties still commanded foremost
attention by reason of sharp rebounds
from the depression of the preceding
sessions. The General Asphalt shares,
after remaining dormant for the most
part of the week, swung into prominence
again, with 50 rise in the common to
IA, while the preferred jumped SO to
