THE LOCAL STOCK MARKET.

Although the local stock market has been
steady this week, it has been extremely quiet.
According to the lists, as quoted by Albert
=. Miller, Jr., the local securities have held
their own. The only sac on the Exchange
was the ten shares OF Weybosset at ~, and
with this,cxcertion little or nothing has been
done. Mr.. Miller Is of the opinion, however,
'thSt IA the first of the year app coaches there
will be continually increasing demand for
safe investments, and that after the usual
January disbursements the local stock market
will display considerable more activity.
The most important stock deal during the
past week was the auction salc OF local se-
curities at tho Office of George II. Burnham
on Thursday. The prices Obtain ed ss rulo
were fair, although in some instances thore
were stocks that sold exceedingly low.
