ELECTRIC STORAGE STILL
HOLDING THE LLN1ELIGHT
Scdn Supply Sent Price Up S5-Trddng in Other Local
Stocks Sluggish, but Prices We're Better

Electric Storage Battery continued TO
hold the limelight in today's local mar
ket. The general market. as a matter
OF fact, was very dilatory in getting
started. As has been the experience
since the big bull movement was checked
in New York, the local contingent
await their cue from the big board. This
attitude is strongly reminiscent Of the
old days prior to the world war when
wall street spared for time awaiting
the signal of the London movement.
Despite the monotonous sluggishness
OF the trading the local list as a whole
maintained strong undertone. When
the New York market pushed forward
all the local shares began TO look IN,
and trading gradually became broader
and more active. Electric Storage
Battery started the ball rolling in
making a fast rise of IS to 143. This
advance with the substantial, recovery
made IN the two preceding sessions,
naturally invited free profit taking. 1t
was all well taken, but it cut down the
advance to 100, or net gain of 81
American Stores was the next in line
in point of activity and strength.
Yesterdays buying movement was re
sumed, which elevated the stock to
Al or seventy FIVE cents above yes
terday's last price.
Continued absorption of United Gas
Improvement and Pennsylvania Rail
road by the smaller investors consti
tuted an encouraging feature, in that
this stock is being taken out of the mar
ket. The former held at So, while
Pennsy moved up to 43.
All the recent much -heralded talk OF
the big steel business failed to incite
much of a following in Lake Superior
Corporation. The stock, however, was

OFFERS MERI0N MEMORIAL
EIdridse r. johnson Would Give Es,
tate In Honor Of Service Men

Eldridge r. johnson has offered The
Chimneys, his home on Hazelhurst ave-
nue., Merton, to that township as a com
munity center to be known as the
Tribute House, in honor of Merton men
who fought in the war.
The Merton Civic Association is d.
recting the project, and the directors
will consider the offer Monday night. A
Philadelphia architect has completed
plans for the community house.
Location of sites will be taken up
carefully, and the question of indi-
vidual gift or popular subscription for
the memorial also is to be determined.
Donation of both house and grounds
is included in Mr.. Johnson's offer. He
also offers to tear down and replace
the house with a building in accordance
with the architects design. Other per
sons have offered sites, it is said, but
none equals that of Mr.. johnson.
Mr.. johnson and his wife, who was
Miss Elsie r. Fenimore, recently
bought a home in Chelsea, and it il
said to be their plan to live there th'
year round.

New York. Nov. 21.-l'nder the in
tiuence of apparent easing Of money
conditions the recovery movement made
further progress in today's stock
market. The relaxing of the money
market tension was confirmed by the
opening rate OF s per cent for call loans
and another substantial rally in foreign
exchange. Interest, however, centred
largely in the industrial division with
the wider fluctuations again occurring in
the high priced specialties, or in those
stocks which were hit the hardest in
the recent sweeping reactionnry
movement.
Generally speaking the Wall street
atmosphere was one OF pronounced
chcerfulness. There seemed to be a
growing impression that much Of the
adverse side of the market situation
had been discounted. Coupled TO this
was the understanding that the more
important banking interests had come
10 the support of the market by taking
over what the street is pleased TO call
disaster stock. " That is, say a num-
her Of large blocks were purchased by
private sale from certain parties who
had been seriously hurt by the collapse
OF the speculative structure last week,
and which otherwise would have been
forced on the market at the best quota e
tion obtainable.
At the same time the list rs a whole
| possessed q strong bulwark in the ex
istence of still large outstanding short
interest. All during the forenoon this
/ element was compelled to bid for what
/ they desired. With the supply naturally
/ greatly restricted. it was comparu
/ lively easy task to bid up prices all
along the line, These advances again
and again encountered noerul realizing
! on the part of those who had purchased
/ during the weaker periods. These Of
! ferings, however. were always readily
/ taken. and while taking the edge off the
market towards midday the list alto
! gether MnS well sustained.
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1919-11-21

well sustained at 21% to % on small
dealings.
Philadelphia Electric in the early
dealings shaded under par again, but
met the same strong support, bringing
quick recovery. Philadelphia Rapid
Transit was fractionally better at 27M
Union Traction was unchanged at So
American Gas on small sales moved up
81 to 52, while Pennsylvania Salt lost
80 cents at 7912.
One of the discouraging developments
attending recent operations in the local
market has been the miserably moor
showing made by the Tonopah stocks
in face of the steadily climbing price of
silver bullion.
:, When silver was selling at much
lower prices these stocks were
among the liveliest propositions of
the local list. Most of the Tonopah
companies are silver producing mines.
and it is regrettable they are not
in position to reap the rich benefits of
the urgent demand for the white metal
and the extremely high prices the world
at large is willing to pay for it.
Labor troubles in the Tonopah dis
trict have, it seems, tied these com
panies up hand and foot. Unless the
mines have been worked out, and there
are reasons for believing they have not
been, it is difficult to understand why
some sort of compromise has not been
made so operations could be resumed.
1t seems like permitting a golden op-
portunity to slip by. There is a mys
terious side to this Tonopah situation
that has baffled some of the shrewdest
men on the street. 1t is about time
for the arrangements of some of these
companies to open up and give real
facts as to the actual situation.

Chicago, Nov. 21.--Most of the news
affecting corn was bearish today. and
the market was weaker. Aggressive
ness of bears met stubborn resistance
most Of the forenoon, when bulls and
scattered commission houses absorbed
offerings on an initial break. This
demand brought about tighter stu
alton and values rallied.
Offerings were liberal, however, ow-
ing to softer quotations for the cash
article, closing of number of corn
grinding plants due to the shortage of
coal, reports that large amounts OF the
cereal will be forwarded to terminal
points as soon as cars are available and
generally favorable weather conditions.
Moreover, actual consignments from
the country were heavier and predio-
tions were made that the small stocks
here would soon be enlerged. A drop
in hogs here and elsewhere also helped
the recessions.
Shipments from Argentina for the
week were 2, 1858 900 bushels.
Oats were fairly active and easier
but recovered temporarily when corn
moved upward. A leading elevator in ?
terest sold May, while a prominent cash
house purchased that delivery. There
were some hints of an inquiry for ex :
port, but nothing definite could be OBJ
tained. Receipts were small.
Recent frost in the west and southern
provinces of Argentina damaged oats.

NEW YORK COFFEE MARKET

New York, Nov. 21,-The coffee
market declined IL to 81 points, which
was better than some traders expected,
considering the break in Santos futures
of 600 to 900 reis, and an easier Rio
spot market.
After the call, trading was fairly
active with the market holding very
steady, though sentiment was nervous.
December sold up to 1905; March to
15.47, or IS to 80 points above initial
figures. Evidences of continued uncer =
tainty in Brazil tended to check aggres-
sive operations on the bull side. There
was further advance of hd in the
rate of Rio exchange on London and
the Rio market was only 70 reis lower.
Santos futures in week have declined
1925 to 1925 reis, or about 2 cents a
pound. This break. however, has not
been reflected in firm offerings, and
Santos is still figured about cents per
pound above the local market.
