CAPITAL TRACTION STOCK,
Price on Washington Stock Exchange
Advances to Par.

The stock of the Capital Traction Street
ington stock exchange for par, the highest
figure it has reached since the consolidation
of the old Washington and Georgetown
Railroad Company with the Chevy Chase
road. forming the present company. Fif-
teen shares were sold today at 500, and at
the close of the day, after some three hun
dred shares had been sold. the bid was
995s. Yesterday the market closed with
50 bid for the stock.
There has been good deal of activity in
this stock for the past month February
15 it sold for 91A, and since then the pro-
gress has been steadily upward, with how
ever, some exceptional days, when there
seemed to be an apparent weakness.
Many shares have changed hands during
that period, yet a good proportion of the
transactions has been what is known as
trading. There is a good deal of specu-
lation among the brokers as to the cause
or causes of the activity in this stock, and
the advances made in the price. Two ex-
plantations are generally given. One is the
purpose of the company in April to increase
the dividend from to 4 per cent, and the
other the rumored intention of some one
unknown, but presumably the Washington
Traction and Electric Company, TO pur-
chase the road. It is said that an actual
propositionahas been made to the Capital
Traction Company, and that it is under
consideration, but the price offered is not
known. However, on this point there is
naturally a good deal Of gossip, and the
price which it Is said will be paid varies all
the way from $110 20 S125 per share The
officials of the company, however, deny
that a change IN the ownership of the road
is to be made, and attribute the activity in
the stock to Its dividend-paying qualities.
