Dropping TREND
IN THE LOCALS
Renewed Liquidation in Penna,
Railroad, United Gas I'M
provement and Others

A number Of soft spots developed in
today's local market, and the tone of the
general list was heavy. With one or
two exceptions. prices were lower with
declines extending from small fractions
to over . points. The selling move
ment which reached out to almost all
parts of the local list was without
explanation in 80 far as news and
developments were concerned, except
that IL could be attributed to the un-
settled state of tho general situation.
In quite few Of the local stocks there
was unmistakable liquidation, partic.
ularly in Pennsylvania Railroad,
United Gas Improvement, and on a
small scale in the other local utility
stocks.
The heaviest selling was in Pennsyl-
vania Railroad, which appeared to be
due to two influences. One, the appre-
hension created by the spread Of the
strike and uneasincss provoked by rea-
son Of the abnormal high rate of inter
est the company was forced to pay for
its new financing. The other was the
same switching operations observed last
week Of the selling Of the stock and re-
investing of the proceeds in the new
bonds. The pressure depressed the price
to al u, which Is within a fractional
range of the low record price made ear
licr in the year.
Recurrent liquidation in United Gas
Improvement forced that stock back to
40, the low water mark. In the other
utility shares, while the selling was OF
smaller calibre yet made new low fig
ures. Philadelphia Rapid Transit
yielded %, Philadelphia Traction to
57h and Union Traction to 32h. An
other weak spot in the utility group
was to be found in American Gas, which
dropped "a points to 418 on small
transactions. Philadelphia Electric de
clined to 24Ss.
| About the only stocks to buck the
reactionary current were Brill and Elec'
trio Storage Battery. The former moved
up to 581a, being strengthened by an in
teresting and comprehensive circular is
sued by the business development com
mittee of the exchange. which showed
the company to be in a very strong posi-
tion. Electric Storage Battery mad'

poration shaded to 1874, but was vel

becomes not n commercial banking prom
osition, but rather a matter for capita,
financing. The distinction should be
kept clearly In mind. Investment loans
are for the purpose OF financing capital
needs, and by this may be meant tbet
the proceeds be used not only for tho
physical use of the business, but also
as an addition to working capital. On
the other hand. the proceeds of com.
mercial banking loans should BIZ used
only SO far as the liquid position Of tho
business justi6cs. The one type Of loan
il more or less permanent or subject In
slow redemption as the profits Of tho
business permit--the other, necessariIy
elastic and subject to payment out OF
the liquid assets Of the business. Only
by thus Distinguishing between the two
types of loans will our commercial
banking system function properly.
The tremendous increases in cost.
therefore, have found many of our sub.
stantial industrial concerns at the point
where the expansion of plant facilities
can be properly financed only through
investment loans. The thing can be
easily overdone. The history Of our re-
current periods Of depression and pros.
perity does not warrant other than q
careful policy in carrying out expansion
plans, nor should industrial issues be
financed in such way that IL the period
of depression cnsues good business
would be necdlessly sacrificed. That
policy is very destructive in its effect on
business generally. Our whole indus.
| trial history Is strewn with the wrecks
of reorganizations and bankruptcies that
might have been avoided if n policy Of
conservation had been followed Wanton
depreciation, the needless sacrifice Of
values. reorganization, loss-such au
unfortunate method Is very unscientific
and wasteful. for it should be remem-
bered that given good management the
policy of conservation Is. generally
speaking, far more beneficial, directly
and indirectly, than the policy Of throw
ing a business with good possibilities on
the scrap heap.
In Philadelphia we have been slum =
bering over opportunities in the indus
trial investment field.
A product for which there is a per.
mancnt demand, favorable prospects for
future growth and earnings, high grade
personnel and management, a legal as
surancc of protection to shareholders
given these essential factors and an
enterprise in strong financial condition
and we have the basis Of q sound in :
vestment. 1t will not be surprising Il
this type of investment shall grow il
favor in this locality, as IL has done ID
New England, when the investing public
is educated up to the merits of such in
vestments. Unshackle the dollar ant
make it work for the still greater in
dustrial progress of metropolitan Phila
delphia.

PRICE MOVEMENT
EXTREMELY RAGGED
Each Group Pursued It's Own
Course, Some Few Making
New Tops

New York. April 12.-Events over
the week. end, particularly the exteu..
sion of the so called outlaw railroad
strike, was responsible for the irrcgu-
larity prevailing in today's stock mar
ket. Each group pursued its own course
giving a very ragged appearance to price
movement. There was no actual weak
ness, although at different intervals
! the trend was distinctly reactionary.
Rather to the contrary, the general list
enjoyed an undercurrent of strength,
sufficient, at least, to keep the bear
party most of the time in check. Many
cross currents developed during the day.
For instance. the good influence Of the
initial offerings of call money at 9
per cent, against last weeks final rate
of 10 per cent. was Offset by the weak
ness of foreign exchange, heaviness of
! Liberty Bonds and further heavy gold
engagement for export to South Amer
ica. The railroad strike produced
hcsitancy rather than weakness, in that
the old axiom of never sell stocks on
strike news was to large degree
strictly adhered to by the bear con
tingent. although this element was in q.
clinCd to make capital out of the high
rates the big rail systems are being COM
PEELED to pay for their money.
While the general list foundered
about in an uncertain fashion a num-
Der of specialties made new tops"
for the current movement. Prominent
in this connection were the sugar shares,
and such speculative specialties rs
Van6dium Steel and Pressed Steel Car.
These, with the shipping and food
shares, also secondary metals, were
about the only issues to show consistent
support and extending recent advances.
Most Of the usual active leaders were
Extremely irregular. There was a con
siderable backset in many Of the recent
speculative favorites after the irregular
start. Crucibe Steel lost Z points
General Motors, 31a; the oils l to 3
points. and the equipments and related
specialties about as much. In the mid
day rally most of these losses were re-
trieved. Prices, however, reacted again
when call money rose to s per cent ant
exchange became more unsettled.
