The preferred stock of the Washington
Railway and Electric Company sold today
at w. an advance over the bid price of yes
terday of over point and half This
recovery was not accompanied by any
great excitement, in fact, none at all, and
there was not much buying of stock re-
quired
1t was evident there were some blocks of
the stock for sale at a little above the pre-
yailing rate of the past day or two, and
when these had been gathered In there
seemed to be as little inclination to sell any
more as there was to buy
However. the trading went on with fifty
share lots and one or two one-hundred
share lots until finally the bid reached 80
and stayed there. In fact, that was the
bid for thousand shares, which, of course,
was not filed. The buying was not gem
eral except for fractional lots, and there
was manifest much of the indifference to
the stock that has marked the trading in
it for several days past.
In spite of that, it went up. Owing to
the buying of a broker, who is the princi-
pal dealer in the stock, the lots that were
to be had at lower levels were taken off
the market, and from the indications the
recovery could have been much greater. II
there had been any mind to bid up the
5 stock.
Z half point separated the prospective
buyer and seller in the case of the common
stock, but there was but very little interest
shown. and nothing was done except in a
perfunctory sort of a fashion to supply
the figures for the daily quotations.
The rest of the list was passed over with
out any incident of consequence. The only
trading was in the stocks of the American
Security and Trust Company and the Amer
lean Bank In the trust and bank stock list,
and there was no special significance at
tached in either case and no marked change
made from the current figures.
Some gas stock was sold under co. which
seemed to be the low point in that stock,
as fixed some days ago. but only one quo
tation lot went on at that level, and the
fractional lots did not fare any better. AT
the close the stock was to be had at 6o

BULLS AND BEARS

NEW YORK. December 6.-The argument
for bulling the Industrial stocks is that
they are closer to the country's prosperity
than the railroad issues.
The manufacture of new securities has
not been an active industry since 1902 but
there are signs that 1t is picking up. II is
not taking the direction of floating issues
or new enterprises or combinations, but In
the way Of enlarging existing capitalization
trade is improving.
At special meeting of the stock holders
of the General Electric Company yesterday
the proposition to increase the capital stock
OF the company by the amount OF S11,64.-
800, consisting of 1857 shares of the par
value OF 800. was approved. This viii III
crease the capital stock from S4s 325.5oo to
$60000,000, consisting of 1878 shares of
the par value of 500. The stockholders OF
the E. w. Bliss Company. at their meeting
yesterday afternoon, ratified the propost-
ton to increase the capital stock from
81. O00. coo to Sc. 900 GOO Stockholders Of rec
ord December 10 have the privilege of sub
scribing to one-half of the new issue at
par
1t is pointed out that If the railroads are
making good money the Industrial corpora
lions must be making even more. There
are those who say that at no very distant
-' HPNSot'sioh VIII nave 10 DE uUut tditiiy
in industrials. railroad securities must.
In the nature of things. be largely absorbed
ana disappear from the market One of the
striking features in the securities move
ment of the last eighteen months has been
the reduced floating supply of railroad
stocks and bonds with which speculation
could be carried on. Year after year this
that issue tends to disappear from the mar
ket. and 1t is not to be supposed that many
new railroads will be built.
\
Apparently Wall street is about to be
tested by the strain of big bull campaign
In cotton. coinciding with bulish stock
market. When Sully was conducting his
operations two years ago, and cotton was
making new top prices, the stock market
was around bottom figures and speculative
interest in stocks was at an absolute mini
mum which could be correctly symbolized
numerically by zero.
1t is an interesting fact that several stock
exchange houses which have been doing a
large cotton business in the last two years
are rather bearish in their views on the
stock market now or are at least advocating
stock market conservatism. This would
seem to indicate that in the opinion of these
houses cotton speculation promises better
results at the present time than speculation
in stocks with prices where they are and
the money market very firm.

Feverish Fluctuations in the
Call Money Market.
ADVANCE TO HIGH RATE
BULK OF BORROWING TODAY
DONE AT 10 TO IS PER CENT.
Speculative Community Not Disturbed
Stocks Felt Improved Foreign
Tone-Upward Tendency.

= NEW YORK, December 6.-Feverish fiuc-
tuations in the call money market, with
advances to excessive rates, constituted
peculiar coincidence today with the publ
cation of the annual report of the Secretary
of the Treasury, which lays stress on the
necessity of making provision for more
elastic currency, and with a visit to the
financial district OF Secretary Shaw himself.
The bulk of Wall streets borrowing on
call during the business session was done at
from u to Upper cent, while around midday
the rate was bid up to 10. with subse-
quent recession to L. and another rise fol-
lowing.
Despite the stress of the credit situation,
the speculative community retained its
composure and manifested the same
equanimity that was in evidence last
month, when call money ran up to % per
cent. The rather straitened situation of
lenders is regarded but temporary at
the worst, and with indications that the

Is due to set in heavily after the first OF

part in speculative considerato ns.
Time Loan Market.
The time loan market today, while firm,
was without any appearance of stringency.
That Secretary Shaw will lend any neces
sary assistance in money that he is
understood to be assured
Encouraged by the further marked recov
cry of Russian bonds abroad and by an i'm
proved tone the foreign exchanges the
stock market here manifested a decided up
ward tendency from the very beginning this
morning
The Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton af-
fair ceased to figure prominently in the
days discussions, and 1t may be said OF
1t that Wall street has made up its mind
that the outcome will be beneficial
RumorS and reports plenty were current
purporting to account for the movements
in individual or allied stocks. but facts
were at a discount.

company was revived to explain the sud
