THE WASHINGTON COOPERATIVE BUILDING
ASSOCIATION held its twenty-fifth monthly
meeting last night-Dr. r. Howard presiding.
Seven thousand dollars were sold, at a premium
which reached 300 per cent. for the cash adj
yanees-none selling under 191, except two
thousand dollars payable in thirty days; which
brought 1s1. The pressure for funds was un-
usual, owing, it is supposed, to the recent dull
season of business, of which il is believed that
the worst is passed. Quite a considerable num-
ber of ladies are using this association as an
easy mode Of investment for small amounts.
