of selfish motives, his unfailing patience,
his continued and good-natured persistence
and his broad and thorough knowledge of

A FURRY IN STOCKS.
New York Market Witnessed Break in
Prices Today.

NEW YORK, February 2S-There was
sharp furry in the stock market today.
which caused a sudden and violent break
in prices. The equally sudden and violent
recovery suggested that the break was due
to bear raid, intended to dislodge stop
losses orders. The irregular movement of
prices yesterday had prompted the put
ting on of such orders below the market, to
a large extent as a precautionary measure.
The professional traders getting knowl-
edge of this attacked the market. The
break in Union Pacific reached three points,
and in Southern Pacific, New York Central
and st. Paul in the neighborhood OF two
points
Early in the afternoon the loss had been
substantially recovered, and other stocks
were advancing with a show of strength.
The market was quieter, however, than
yesterday.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

An increase In the attendance of the pub
lie at the daily meetings of the stock ex-
change is becoming noticeable. as the seat
ing capacity provided for outsiders. which
is limited. is entirely inadequate to meet
the demand, which. however, is not a con-
slant one and rarely reaches the present
proportions. As a rule the space outside
of the rail where spectators are allowed is
not occupied, but since the recent activity
In stocks there has been quite a marked
change in this particular.
The main trading today continued to be
in the securities of the Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company and in Lanston.
There was quite good business done in the
bonds of the railway company. which have
been somewhat neglected of late owing,
probably. to the attention being absorbed
In the stocks.
The bonds today sold from SS1a to S97s
and at the close S9ss was bid and S&57s was
asked. Yesterday ssh was bid and SSH was
asked.
The selling seemed to be somewhat better
for the preferred stock than the buying
and the range of prices was from 94h to
S8lh. Toward the close 93a4 was bid ard "a
was asked. These were withdrawn and "a
was bid and 94ls asked Altogether some
LAO shares were traded in. Yesterday
93E was bid and 81 was asked.
The buying was strong In the common
stock and the range of prices was from
Ban to 35%. At the close 35Ia was bid and
35A was asked. Including options, the ag-
gregate of the sales reached 2.0tO shares.
There was a general demand for gas
stock at 81 either in quotation or larger
lots. There were no sales less than CTS,
and at the close that was the bid. and G7A
was asked.
/, Lanston was. a good seller and at some
what better figures as the range was from
1871 to 1915. Options were offered at I'M.
At the close 1873 was bid and 169s was
asked.
The stock of the Washington Loan and
Trust Company sold at 223ls and 223. Then
the bid was 223L5 and the asking price
225.

2471a and were at once taken. The bid
for ten shares was 245, and 80 was asked.
