THE LOCAL STOCK MARKET.

Albert p. Miller, Jr., states that there has
been a fair inquiry for local investments dur.
ing the past week, although as yet the buyers
are still seeking bargains and while the mar
ket il well supplied with stocks there is no
disposition 10 sacrifice them.
The bank stocks are extremely low and
among those offered some excellent purchases
can be found. Insurance stocks are some
what sought after but are too firmly held TO
permit Of much trading.
The illuminating stocks are quiet with a
fair demand and light offerings.
Prices show but little change from last
week n rule, although In some instances
they are n trifle lower.
