SELLING OF LOCAL
SHARES NOT HEAVY
Action Of Market Indicated a
Very Small Speculative
Following

With such surrounding disturbing
conditions it was only natural the un
settlement should extend to the local
market. In some of the more specu
lative issues the liquidating movement
did not reach very large or serious pro
portions, indicating a comparatively
small speculative following.
The heaviest offerings were in Penn
sylvania Railroad and Lake Superior
Corporation. The former was forced
down to 40. one block Of 1900 shares
changing hands at that figure, but this
block and other offerings were remark
ably we'll absorbed, so that the stock
made subsequent rally to 40l2, the
final quotation of Saturday. Lake Su-
pcriOr was less fortunate and under
what appeared to be further enforced
liquidation as result Of impaired mar
ginal accounts was depressed to new
low level at II.
The only other really weak spot was
in General Asphalt preferred, which
declined So to II, also new low for
the year, and compared with 241, the
high record made last October.
In the general list the selling was
of desultory character, and what de-
clines were recorded reflected the ex-
| trcmr narrowness of the market and the
| limited buying power. Electric Storage
Battery on very lmiteG aeanugs yielded
to ia, but rallied TO l141a. The war
rants fell nearly 50 to 13.
The local utilities, strengthened by
their recent grilling, held up surpris-
ingly well. Rapid Transit was pegGed
at 10 Union Traction lost II at %
Philadelphia Electric was off " at 81 "
and United Gas Improvement lost :!
at 4O12. All were above their recent
low levels.
The continued thinness of the market
was reflected in the decline of 81!

previous sale. Tonopah Belmont was
offered freely, but only yielded an ls al

TRADING ON CURB
Losses Range From Fractions

New York, Aug. 9.---Trading on the
Broad street curb during the day was
determined almost wholly by the un-

change. Many stocks carried in stock
exchange accounts were thrown on the

losses ranging from fractions to around
4 points.
General Asphalt continued to demand
comment by its further downward

DROP IN COFFEE FUTURES
September Option Breaks Into New
Low Ground at S.45

New York, Aug. 9.-The market for
coffee futures opened excited this morn
ing, September breaking into new low
ground, selling at S45. Initial quota
tons showed losses Of 35 to 80 points.
Stop loss orders were uncovered and
selling became general among the
various trade interests. Cables made n
very poor showing. with Santos show
ing signs Of future weakness
Shortly before II o'clock prices shot
upward 80 points or so on official ad-
vices reporting a partial recovery in
prices in Santos futures, where gains of
200 to 800 reis were made. The upturn
sent September here to 902, December
to $50 and May to 10.
The local market is in very sensi-
tive mood and easily influenced by
orders either way. 1t is believed that
this mornings early break brought out
liquidation from smaller longs and there
Is now little outstanding in the way of
contracts of this sort.
