ANIMATED ADVANCE
IN PENNSYLVANIA
Phila. Electric Issues Also Climb
Into New High Ground
for the Year

The animated rise in the stock OF
the Pennsylvania Railroad Of nearly a
dollar a share, to Asa. was the out
standing event Of the days trading in
the local market. This Is the highest
price the stock has sold since 1919 and
represents a recovery Of $3.50 a share
from the low price of the. year. The
dealings were fairly large, but the most
significant feature was the relatively
small amount Of stock found available
at the current quotations.
The action Of the Pan Handle di-
rectors in providing for the payment
Of dividends during the period they were
suspended was generally accepted in
better informed investment circles as
removing all doubt as to the early res.
toration of the long established 9 per
cent rate Of the Pennsylvania. Stock
holders were given official assurance
this would be done at the earliest pos.
sible moment at the last annual meet.
ing, and it was only a question when
adjustments could be completed which
would give the management grounds to
carry out the promise.
Philadelphia Electric issues con-
tnued to enjoy a broad and fairly ac-
tive market, with the preferred making
new high figure at 30A, as did the
common at 30. Apart from these two
favorites, the dealings in the other 10.
cal stocks was of n desultory nature,
with fractional price variations. Mod
crate belatcd liquidation cropped out in
Lake Superior, causing that speculative
issues to give ground and yield to 8.
Union Traction also was noticeably
heavy making further retreat to 39A,
an overnight loss to 391a. The sagging
tendency Of this stock has more or
less mystified the Street. With all
doubts as to the question of the much
discussed lease entirely dismissed by the
decisions of its higher courts Of the
State, and with the stock selling on an
income basis in excess Of per cent, the
local market community are entirely
at loss to explain the dropping tendency
the stock has shown. This has been
more noticeable since the declaration
and payment of the p. X. T. dividend,
which dividend in some ways
strengthens the strategic position of
Union Traction stock. p. r. T. found
support at 30.
Profit taking in the American Stores
appears to have run its course again.
The stock at least free of this pres
sure made an easy rally to 125. the top
price of the year. Electric Storage
Battery and General Asphalt moved in
close parity with the New York market.
