LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The differences which have existed be-
tween the people OF Rockville and the
Georgetown and Rockville Railway Com
pany are nearing adjustment II IS UNDER
stood that both sides have agreed to give
and take. 1t win be remembered that the
Georgetown and Rockville railroad tracks
were originally extended into the town OF
Rockville as FAR as the court house. The
differences began between town council
and the railroad company OVER privileges.
ETC., the council demanded that the rail-
road should yield In the matter at issue.
or should not enter the corporate limits
OF the town. The company accepted the
latter alternative. and sirce that date. while
people Of Rockville paid the same fare,
they have been dumped on the outskirts
OF the town and have been forced to walk
to their respective homes within town
limits
In conjunction with the re-entry Of the
line into Rockville proper. the George
town people are desirous of having intro
duced a half-hour schedule instead OF the
present hour schedule. Better transperta-
ton facilities between the two places will
greatly enhance the commercial relations.
1T Is contended. Many persons who now
use the sfeam railroad to enter Washing
ton will patronize the electric line ex-
clusfvefy.
There was a good quantity Of stock for
sale at the meeting OF the stock exchange
today. but the orders were not numerous;
neither. on the other hand, was the selling
SO urgent that any sacrifice of price was
made.
The asking price was always along the
level Of current quotations, and when Gus
toners did not want to buy on these terms
there was no sale.
Perhaps the most notable occurrence OF
the day was the sale of fifteen shares OF
the stock OF the Second National Bank in
two lots. and for both. the ten-share lot
and the fiye-share lot $3.50 per share was
paid. the biggest price given Tor this stock
within the past three years
1t is. however. in line with the recent
prices paid for the few lots OF this stock
that have come on the board for sale.
A pretty good order for gas, stock was
filled at 60ss. with some at 80A, ana after r
that was done there was still stock to De
had at 60as.
Lanston In abundance was for safe at
15N and number of lots were taken py
those who sold options at 15k.
Better prices were also paid for some
blocks of Central Bank stock. as S5Ih was
given for twenty shares. The bid reeeded
to 315, where it was yesterday, and the
asking price was 800.
The bid for Lincoln Bank stock advanced
10 131 in sort Of tentative fashion, and
when It was found that nothing happened
it was withdrawn and 130 was put In its
place.
There is some talk that It IL proposed to
increase the stock Of the Bank OF Wash
ington from 100000 to $4,000.

NEW YORK. November 1.-THE market
for New York city bonds has not been very
good lately. Prices paid In Wall street
have been about the lowest In some time.
and In not a few cases these prices have
been considerably under the figures at
which the bonds were originally sold by
the city.
To some extent the market may have
been deranged by the possibilities latent in
the municipal campaign. but the general
opinion seems to be that the chief cause
OF the relatively low quotations Is the
larger and growing aggregate of these
bonds, With more In sight. For these rea-
sons there Ia considerable curiosity as to the
result of the forthcoming sale OF 81, SOC. 00o
OF S1k per cent of corporate stock to run
fifty years, making a total issue OF fifty
year stock this year of $S7. 100000. com
pared with $75.oe0. zoo last year. Bids Will
be opened on November 2S.
