This sensible conclusion was fully
confirmed by the further warnings is
sued by the Federal Reserve Board
against unnecessary credits, as Governor
Harding put it, ''unesseptial loans.
The admonitions Of the Federal Reserve
authorities were not alone aimed at the
security markets. but also applied at
speculation in commodities and realty
operations. Proof Of which was evil
denccd by the tightening of rates at
other reserve ccnters besides New York,
including those where dealings iu food
stuffs. cotton and metals form an i'm.
portant part.
This alone could have been safely
counted on upon placing an effective
damper upon speculative enthusiasm.
With the increasingly unsatisfactory
state of the railway situation, fresh up
settlement in foreign exchange, aud in
lection of political animosities into the
peace treaty fight. it is little short of
a wonder tho market did not suffer

PHIL IADELPHIA co. ISSUES
LOCAL MARKET FEATLRF|
Substantial Recoueries Made This Week by Al the Leodr
Local Stocks From Recent Lou Leuel

The week wound up with show of
pronounced strength in number OF the
local stocks. The Philadelphia Go.
issues were the outstanding. features
with the common advancing y to 42ss
and the cumulative preferred x to 80.
The movement was easily associated
with the strength of the same stocks in
the New York the last week.
The trading in the general local list
was fairly active for half holiday,
and in most cases, where price changes
we're madc.. further substantial i'm
provement was recorded. The dealings
likewise were well distributed with a
number of local stocks long neglected
showing signs of widening interest.
Notable in this connection was Ken
tucky Securities, preferred, which was
well taken at 81. J. G.. Brill brought
the same quotation, or an advance of 81
from the previous sale.
Continued good buying was noted in
Pennsylvania Railroad. Lehigh Valley
and United Gas Improvement, the
last named closing within u of the
high price Of the week. Philadelphia
Rapid Transit declined to 27Ss on small
sales despite the declaration of the
regular semi annual dividend of 81 .25.
Union Traction was unchanged at 3612
Electric Storage advanced to 1873, but
lost 81 of the gain. York Railways
was $1.25 higher than the last sale, ut
9h.
The weeks developments in the local
market were highly encouraging, both
in the point of price improvement and
in the character of the trading. The
betterment, of course, came in for more
notice because of the unsettled state ol
the New York market, and the accept
able handicap Of the stringent money
market conditions.
While the prominent stocks in the
larger market swung to and fro with
out any decided tendency, there was 9
moderate but comprehensive upward
swing in the local issues. At the close
of the week the leading local shares
were from I to 10 points above the
final quotations of last Saturday. The
average gain was between \. and .
points.

New York. Jan. l0.-The tone Of
today's closing market showed consid-
erablc Improvement, This was largely
due TO moderate covering Of tho short

sition on the part of this element of
the professional traders to reduce out

the possibility of some constructive do
vclopment over Sunday.
II was the strength of the steel aud
equipment shares, however, which gave
real color to the Improvement, as the
strength of this group undoubtedly en-
couraged free covering in other parts Of
the list. United States Steel was helped
by tho expectation of favorable ton

however. were made by Republic Iron
