The local stock market last week was
summer affair entirely. at no time being
active or important. Early in the week
Mergenthaler, Lanston, and Washington
Traction were all rather weak. Lanston
getting below II, Mergenthaler dropping
off points or more, and Washington
Traction being without friends. Yester-
days prices, however, show that the re-
neweI demand, such as it is, has advanced
prices again to about the level of week
ago. Washington Traction sold for G6,
Mergenthaler for 165, ex-dividend, and
Lanston for 14is, the price at which the
block OF 1850 shares was sold week or
more ago. There is little prospect of re-
newed activity in the market during the
next month or two, as the brokers and
their customers are leaving the city every

A sharp demand for Washington Trac-
tion bonds developed during the latter
part of the week. a prominent broker
made a bid for an option on $4,000 of the
bonds, and at the same time bought all
the small lots that he could secure
around current prices. The price adj
vanced to the best recent price, g. Moth
ing in the way of news regarding the
affairs of the company developed, and it
could not be learned that the plan of the
Reorganization Committee has gotten any
further toward completion. The street is
inclined, however. to consider the new
strength of the issue an indication cf
the probable success of the reorganiZa-
tion plan. The increase in the hot weather
business of the company has been large,
and it is said that the June receipts were
the largest on record by good margin.
This and other evidence Of the better
condition of the system since the compile
tion OF improvements will probably have
sufficient weight with the people that
have been putting up the money to pay
the deficits thus far to induce them to
continue. As matter of fact, there is
no evidence that should lead any out
slider to believe that the default on the
bond interest and the appointment of a
receiver indicate any intention of giving
up the money already invested. or giving
up the idea of making paying institu-
tion out of the system.

The earnings of the Capital Traction
for the month of June showed an increase
of nearly 5000. The larger part of the
gain is due to the extensions of the line
which are bringing in quite as much eN-
