LOCAL DEALINGS
LITTLE BROADER
Better Feeling Reflected in
Moderate Price Improve
ment in Leading Shares

There was an encouraging widening
Of interest in the local market. At
least this was suggested in a perceptible
increase in the volume of the dealings
and a better distribution of the trans
actions. As a matter of fact, the opera
tions were more diversified than has
been witnessed for some weeks back.
With the expansion of business there
was cheerful betterment of price levels.
Most of the gains were small, but II
supplied a refreshing change from the
recent monotonous dropping character
Of the market
The change in the complexion Of the
market was to some extent largely in
fluenced by the about face turn in the
market. but here, too. techinacl condi-
tions exerted considerable weight in
shaping the price trend. This was sug-
pested In all events in the further re-
coyery Of 81. .25 In Electric Storage Bat
terry 10 11S, and also in the 81 rally
In Lake Superior to II.
While these were about the only ma
terial changes recorded, the entire list,
nevertheless. displayed a much steadier
tone. United Gas Improvement moved
up nearly 81 to Al. Union Traction
remained firm at %. Ond Philadelphia
RAND Transit held at 1+1.. American
Stores was firm at 49, after dipping
to 43l4. Pennsylvania Railroad con ,
tinued to be well taken at 40&, and
offerings of Cambria Iron were vel
taken at 3Sh. The only evidence ot
selling pressure rested against Phila
deIphia Electric. which shaded to u y

New York, Aug. 20.--There was
general upward movement in all the

the petroleums, but the movements IN
those stocks were restricted to an extent
because Of profit taking sales against
purchases made ut recent lower levels.

COTTON MARKET

New York. Aug 20.-The cotton
market had a big opening today, with
initial trades in almost every month in
the list. August dropped 125 points and
other positions % to 30 points on the
first call. Selling was heavy in gen
eral. but with tho South conspicuous,
doubtless due to weaker spot markets.
Gables were lower on account of fur
ther hedge selling.
Support here was poor and mainly
from shorts.
Conditions in the dry goods trade
and an absence of serious crop damage
news. in spite of continuous showery
weather in the belt, appeared to have
discouraged all bull activity.
At the end of the first twenty min :
utes the list was still heavy and about
