accounts is a feature of the financial de-
velopment OF the city that Il not without
interest. There has been an addition to the
number of purely savings institutions as
well as an enlargement of the resources of
those that have been in operation for some
time.
Recently the National American Bank
opened savings department. and the
Traders National is now making arrange
ments to open a similar department
In the case of national banks one pur-
pose In establishing such a department Is
to provide means for paying interest on
what may be termed inactive accounts. and
In this way 1t is expected the probable re-
suit will be the retention of class of Gus
toners that might be attracted elsewhere
by the prospect Of securing interest.
To a certain extent this movement on the
part of national banks is attributed to the
competition of the trust companies. The
rivalry for business has led the banks to
agree to pay interest on deposits in some
cases, but in this city that class of business
has never reached any large proportion.
According to some of the current gossip
the negotiations which were begun some
days ago for a transfer to local capitalists
of the block of stock of the Traders Ma
tional Bank recently purchased from the
Boston Boston people and others. and which were
broken on, have been resumed. 1t is be-
lieved that the prospects for the deal being
consummated are very good.
In the absence OF orders trading at the
meeting of the stock exchange today was
limited and there was not much interest
manifested. The approach of the holi
day season has no doubt some influence
pect is that the resumption of active trad
ing will not occur until after the first of
the year.
In most cases there was but little effort
made to either buy or sell. and the quota
tons recorded were more or less OF
merely formal character. The securities OF
the Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany showed a slight falling off from the
quoted prices OF yesterday; 2sh was freely
bid for options on the common stock,
while Tin was the regular bid.
A higher level was reached in the bidding
for Telephone bonds. and sales were made
at 1O7. At the close the bid was 1883 and
the asking price 1O7Is.
Four shares OF Central Bank stock were
onered for sale at $50. Another similar lot
was offered at 800. The best bid was $40.
The bid for ten shares was 800
American National Bank stock to the ex
tent of ten shares were offered down from
$50 to ia The best bid was 10 and that
was finally withdrawn. and at the close 165
was bid.
Several lots of gas stock were sold at
VIZ. ana tnere was more TO De mad at the
same price. but the best bid was then 64A.
After call the stock was again offered at
G4h.
There was some disposition shown TO
trade in Mergenthalcr. but the nearest APP
preach made vas bid of 1Ss. with the
asking price at 1891.
A bid of 91s was made for 300 shares of
Graphophone preferred without result. One
hundred shares were offered at ga.
