Pennsylvania Oil
Market Is Put on
Competitive Basis !
Action of Seep Agency Re?
moves Stabilizing Influ?
ence anil Scramble for
Crude May Kite Prices
PITTSBURGH, Feb. 20.?The mar?
ket for Pennsylvania crude oil was
thrown wide open here to-day by the
announcement of the Joseph Seep Fur
chasing Agency that beginning March
18 it would no longer sell oil to inde?
pendent refineries. The reason given
was that it did not have enough oil for
Its own business.
Increased consumption of Pennsyl?
vania crude durjng the past few years
has steadily forced up the price until
now it is (?uoted by the Seep agency at
$5.65 a barrel, three advances having
been made since the beginning of the
year. Independent refiners have been
provided with a give?; proportion of
their requirements by the Seep agency,
but some time ago when they found
the agency could not. nil their de?
mands, they went out into the market
and bought oil at r. premium in com- i
oetition with it. That premium, it was '
stated -to-day, has often reached 50 j
nents a barrel, and even now, with the L
latest advance, is more than 25 cents.
So scarce is oil of all kinds that i
scouts have been sent into the differ- j
ent fields in the hope of picking up oil |
in sufficient quantities to keep the in- j
dependent, retino ios going. One re- ;
finery, it was stated, was trying to j
"buy oil by the trainload," while others;
not so firmly entrenched financially
were endeavoring to get it in smaller j
quantities.
The action of the Seep agency, itj
was said b veteran oil men, would re- .
+urn the ma P 2t to the coniiitions which
prevailed years a^o when there was no '
powerful buying agency through which ;
prices were stabilized.
No one would predict to what heights ;
quotations would go, but refiners with-!
out their own crude production, it was1
stated, would be compelled to get oil
wherever they could and pay such
prices as producers saw lit to demand.
Demand for Locomotives
American Company Has Booked
Large Order?
The demand for rai'road motive!
power has taken a sharp spurt since it j
became a practical certainty that the i
carriers would be returned to their!
owners on March 1. In this connection
it became known yesterday that the ?
American Locomotive Company within
the last few days has boohed orders
for 105 locomotives, which will involve ?
r?n expenditure on the part of the buy?
ers of approximately $7,750,000.
Included in the new contracts are
nineteen mallet and sixteen mikado en?
gines for the Union Pacilic Railroad,
twenty light Pacifies, twenty-five Santa
Fes and ten hen / Pacifies for the Ca?
nadian National Railways and fifteen
mikado engines for the Louisvil e &
N'a. hviile. In addition it was stated
that a mass of inquiries is in the. mar?
ket and many roads have reserved
manufacturing space for engines, al?
though they have not yet actually
signed tip on orders. In recent years
the mass of business placed with the
iocomotivo companies ??as been 'or
foreign shipment, but the situation has
changed in the last five or ?six weeks
and domestic orders are now the rule.
Orders taken in the last few day? by i
the American Locomotive Company, it!
was said yesterday, represent a total
in excess of the aggregate orders on
the company's books about two weeks
ago.

Railroad Stocks
React After New
Highs Are Made
Industrial Shares S c or e !
Good Advances as Market |
Broadens; Bond Trading'
Increases, Prices Rising !
Railroad shares were prominent in
yesterday's dealings on the New York
Stock Exchange, but they failed to
monopolize interest, as was the case
on Thursday, for industrials held the
center of the stage. The market was
the broadest one witnessed this week.
Transactions increased considerably
and the number of different stocks
dealt in was also larger. Moreover,
speculative attention was not centered
on a few stocks, as had happened in
many other recent sessions, but em?
braced nearly the whole list.
Railroad Btocks started well, and
under the impetus of a substantial de?
mand new high prices were recorded
in a great many issues. At the high j
levels of the day, however, profit j
taking in large volume was encoun- ,
tered, and a majority of the tranapor- j
tation stocks declined rather sharply,;
closing below Thursday's final quota- j
tions. The decline was, however, by no^
means as rapid as the advance had
been and appeared to be nothing more j
than a reaction such as commonly!
occurs after a sustained advance. A
few of the rails made small gains.
The industrials were generally
strong, with steels, equipments and
motors leading. The fact that banks |
were ?ending a little time money was;
perhaps largely responsible for the im- I
provement, for trailers saw in this fact |
the possibility of something approach- J
ing Veal ease in the money market.
This view does not seem to be well |
founded, howevew?for lt. is probable j
that stock markcjFloans have already:
expanded substantially as a result of
the bulge in railroad stocks.
The bond market was unusually
active, wit-b good gains recordoxi in
most departments. Railroad bonds
were in particularly strong demand, j
owing to the widespread conviotion I
that a great many issues are soiling at
such low prices that they afford good ;
investment opportunities, with the!
added attraction of possible substan- !
tial increases in price. Foreign gov- ?
ernment issues also were strong, re?
flecting the improvement in foreign
exchange.
. i ? ' ?
Money and G*edit
Rates for Stock Exchange call money ?
were unchanged, yesterday and 6 peri
cent was the opening and ruling rate. ?
As on preceding days of the week there :
was a plentiful supply of funds to lend :
on call, but banks continued to restrict
time money offerings, although as stat- j
ed yesterday, some loan? are being:
made a? S tier cent on mixed collateral
and 8^5 per cent on all industrials. ?
The opinion is h?!d by bankers that ;
rates will remain relatively easy, at
lenst until the .March tax payments arc I
due. ;

day, compared with a year ago, follow:

In Wall Street
Times Change
"people who bought railroad stocks
? a year ngo for investment" observe?
lone of Wall Street's wise men, "arc
now buying them twenty points lower
for speculation."
Confidence Still Lacking
I With all the improvement that his
I taken place In the last few days m
; rails and industrials the stock mar
| ket following as a whole is far from
?bullish. While many brokerage
| houses are telling their customers
that the rise may carry somewhat
further, there is quite a unanimity of
; opinion that it is best to take profits
as they come, rather than to wait for
t*ae Ion* pull. Indicative of the kink
of advice that is being given traders
lu brokerage houses, a leading firm
said yesterday "for"the present we
would make new commitments only on
i sharp reactions." In other \-mrOs, con?
fidence in the ability of the market to
amount higher in the face of current
: obstacles is not what it was before
? the terrific fall in values a short
'while buck. Accordingly the buying
?of the industrials in particular is not.
: oi the aggressive kind, so necessary
t.. vigorous bullish operations. On
the contrary the buying in this de?
partment is extremely caution.-,
suggesting that traders uve not at all
svre of their ground and are operat^
iiiK conservatively.
The Motors
Motor stocks as a group gave much
the best performance yesterday in
'weeks. Under leadership of General
Motor.* common stock, which apparent
] ly was nished ahead by urgent cover
ing by "trailers who sold the stock in
: anticipation of the recent decline r.nd
, who had not taken their profits, the
! rise in the motors was rather pro
: nounced. And with the dying out of
? the movement in the rai?3, which
\ seemed to have spent its force for
': the time being, the uprush in the
motors was the big outstanding de?
velopment in the day's markei. Gen
i eral Motors stock attracted most at
| tcntion not only because of its sen
1 sctional strength but also because of
the fact that it was the special target
,of the professional bears during the
: late market unpleasantness. On total
dealings of close to 40.000 shares,
Motors, which had closed at 237% on
'. Thursday, touched 230 by midday,
shortly after reaching 254, the hign
l'or the day's move. After that _ it
dropped below 230 again, but rallied
; at the close to 250?4, where it showed
a net gain of 12% points. Once Gen
: eral Motors started moving forward,
: the rest of the motor shares swung
: into line. At its top General Motors
showed a recovery of nearly 30 points
, from its recent low, while the other
I motor issues showed recoveries of 8
to 10 point?.
The Raite
Profit-taking was held responsible for
[the slight leveling off of many of the
rails yesterday. On the whole, how?
ever, the group held i;.-* ground rather
* well considering the estent of the rise
in the eyes of most traders. It is stated
by those vvho claim to know that for
| the first 1 ime in a long while a short
interest exists in the railroad group.
The borrowing demand for rails has
been fairly active since early in the
week. Professional traders who baucht
?the rails on Wednesday when the rise
started too/: their profits, it is said,
and after having lost their market, for
I the rise continued on up without them,
they sold the rails '.ho*.*'. While the
short interest is probably not large it
; is probably of sufficient size **o bring
| in some buying on any sharp decline.
A large Wall Street house says the lo
, cal buying of the rails this week har'
been of excellent quality.
Predict Better Copper Demand
Leaders in the copper producing in?
dustry aro looking for a revival of
buying of the metal within the course
! of the next two or three weeks. The
; copper men said yesterday that they
figured most of the 500,000,000 pounds
of copper bought for domestic and for?
eign consumption in December had
been used up, ar>d will have to be re
? plenished, January sales approximated
."00.1*00 00o pounds. So far this month
saks have been very light. Copper is
, currently quoted at 19% cents a pound
, by the large producing interests.
Exporting Capital to Canada
The flow of American capital into
; Canada, according to A. E. Ames, o the
| (.'anadian Investment lieuse of th t
! name, is reaching unprecedented pro?
portions. "Largely as the r.**u t of the
! exchange situation," said Mr. Ames yes?
terday, "and doubtless the recognition
of the underlying strength of Canadian
; economic conditions, investment i:*. new
issues of ('anadiar, securities during
the last eight weeks alone apnroxi
mated ?10.000,000. The same elements,
coupled with the existence of the pref
; erenti.il tariff with the Ji?riiish Em
' pire, find expression in the fact that
some $125,000,000 have been invested
during the past year by American com?
panies in the establishment of new in
: dustries and branch plants in the Do
! minion. However, concomitant with
'. this situation which bus grown out of
conditions that have now placed Ca?
nadian exchange in the United States
at a discount of about 17 per cent, is
the expectation of the return of 'ex?
change to normal levels, and these
; figures suggest graphically the, vita! in
: terest of United States business men
; and investors in the adequate solution
of the problem."
Lackawanna Steel
Like Republic Steel and other in?
dependent-, the Lackawanna Steel Com
1 pany suffered from the steel and coal
strikes in the final quarter of 1U19
and it is understood that the annual
report covering operations for the full
year, scheduled to be issued next week
to stockholders, w'fl be disappointing. In
the first nine months of the year Lack?
awanna earned about s.3.50 a share on
the stock, but the final quarter more
than offset this, it is understood. The
Republic Steel report which was ex
pected to be put out this week has not
yet made its appearance. It has been
predicted that it will show about St a
??hnre earned on the common stock or
about $2 less than the annual dividend
requirements.
New Issue of Treasury
Certif?cales Se? for March 15
WASHINGTON, V*eh. 20?-Another
issue pf about $300,000,000 of Treasury
certificates of indebtedness may b'e
expected about March 1*5, Secretary
Houston announced to-day. He de?
clared he saw "nothing in the present
situation to increase the interest rate."
The last issue bore A\ per cent.
The forthcoming issue will follow the
payment of about $S?i0.00?,000 of cer?
tificates to be retired March 15. The
new issue is to be smaller because of
receipts from income and excess profits
taxes.
