BETTER TONE TO
LOCAL MARKET
Rapid Transit Adudnced {
Point on Improved Earn
ing Statement

Advance of 81 in Philadelphia Rapid
Transit 10 49, was the most inter
cSting development of the days trading
in the local market, although the entire
local list displayed much better tone
and there was n pric" hctterment all
along the line. The trading in phila-
delphia Rapid Transit was quite active
and was apparently influenced by the
earning statement covering the first four
months Of the calender year showing
the > per cent dividend arnd.
While the showing was encouraging
and while the operating expenses will
be materially cut down the current
month by the reduced wages Of the
trOlleymen. in better informed circles
little hope is entertained for an carly
restoration of the dividend. NPverthe-
less, the fact that the dividend is being
earned put a much more hopeful aspect
on the future and there was apparently
some willing TO take chance on the
long pull theory
The movement was without effect on
any Of the underlying securities, but it
helped 70 strengthen the other local
utility shares. United Gas Improve
ment rallied to 81 mainly on the hopes
that the recommendation Of the Gas
Commission, the report of which body IL
expected TO be handed 70 Mayor Moore
today, will benefit the company Many,
however. seem to feel It will b" a strad-
die. Philadelphia Electric issues wcrc
also better sustained. There was rather
free offering of the ful-paid receipts
of the new preferred. but those were
readily absorbed nt 2Gls.
Rally OF Il point in Electric Storage
Battery featured the miscellaneous list.

last previous sale.
