The continued firmness of Pennsyl-
vanta Railroad. which touched 3S. was
the only bright spot of the monotonous
du'l trading in the local market. The
strength OF Pennsylvania was attrib-
uted to two causes. One the confident
feeling of the railroad refunding bill
being jammed through Congress before
adjournment next week. The other.
unofficial reports that satisfactory
compromise had been reached between
the management and the employees with
the Labor Board concerning the ballot
controversy.
Dealings although somewhat better
distributed than in some of the previous
sessions were Of diminutive proportions.
Price changes were unusually mixed
considering the light trading, but this
was a natural reflection of the extreme
narrowness of the current speculation
and the thin character of the market.

limited transactions, advanced to 10434

While the industrials apparently had
