LOCAL TRADING
WAS AGAIN LIGHT
Lehigh Navigation Made a Nerc
Top Price-Storage Bat
terry Slipped Back

About the only features Of the local
market recurring comment was the con-
tinuod strength of Lehigh Navigation
and the further retrograde movement in
Electric Storage Battery. The former
was only fractionally higher, but made
n new top price at &c. The latter on
small offerings dropped back B points
to 1870.
Otherwise trading lacked animation
being likewise unproductive of essential
price changes. Considering the depress-
ing surrounding influences the general
market stood up we'll. more particularly
in view of the melting prices in the
larger market. What little selling did
develop was spasmodic and Of limited
proportions.
Little interest was again manifested
in the street railway shares and the
other local utility issues. There was
fractional shading of Rapid Transit and
Union Traction, while United Gas I'm
provcmcnt and Philadelphia Electric
were relatively steady. 1t was semi
o.icially stated a large percentage Of
the Philadelphia Electric holders had
taken up the new preferred stock al
lotment. No official figures will be
given out until after the closing of the
subscription list,
PENNSYLVANIA Railroad continued to
slip back, reccding to 42B. Leihgh VAL
ley was steady, but only a few shares
changed hands. Profit taking in Ameri-
can Stores seemed TO have been com
picted and the stock was y higher.

NEW YORK COFFEE MARKET

New York. Sept. 23.-Buying power
continued limited at the opening of the
coffee futures market this morning and
prices on the call were II to IS points
lower.
There appeared to be more desire
to sell than to buy. Trade interests
crate Wall street liquidation.
Such features as increased shipments
Of coffee to Europe, coupled with an i'm
proved local spot demand, would, under
normal market conditions, be looked
upon as bullish factors in the market.
But Just at present the tight money
market and unsettled local affairs work
against values in coffee. The general
trend seems to be downward and there
ia little in the local situation TO en-
courage outsiders to purchase.
Right after IL o'clock December sold
off to 770, March to 1923 and May tC
$50, or IS to 2l points net lower.
