vance, which was an eight greater than the,
closing offering of yesterday.
At the start 1t looked as IL the slight fall.
ing away in prices which occurred yester-
day would be continued today as 927s SEEM
ed to be the best that could be obtained
After the first four lots went at that price
an advance set In, which only ended Witt
the stock selling at 931a, which Is high
recent record.
The trading up to this point had been oy
no means general and the subsequent oea.
ing was along the same narrow lines. ~
good deal Of stock was traded In, with the
result that there was decline In the prices
to 90. and there it remained at the close;
Outside OF the two brokers who did the
be much desire either to buy or TO sell the
stock. Only one option was sold and that
was at 931s. the broker selling 1t buying al
the same time the stock at 93. !
There was nothing done in the common
stock. 1t was for sale in large ana smaii
lots at 42N; but the best bid was 4Zas, ana
there was but little time spent In inducing
business.
The bid for National Safe Deposit stock
advanced to 195. which drew some conce5-
sions in the asking price. but the latter
were not sufficient to bring about trade
The stock was to be had at 1877.
There were two ten-share lots Of the stock
of the American Security and Trust Com
pany sold. The broker who paid 2S9 for
the first lot concluded he did not want 1t,
and so sold It back at 2SS14. The stock was
still to be had for 2S9, and 2S8 was bid.

extent of two ten-share lots at 1861. and
145 was bid for 12O shares. The bid for the

ifested to know why the present prices rule
In the case of the stocks named, and while
the present movement has been going on for
some time past nothing more definite fs
known of the reasons than when 1t first be-
gan.
An inquiry was made for a large block Of
the stock Of the telephone company, and
bid Of A was made for fifty shares. For
twenty-five shares the usual bid Of As was
repeated.
Some of the bonds were bought. and for
one lot 106A was paid, which Is a record
price for these securities. Owing to the in
crease in the business of the company 1t Is
anticipated that these securities are going
to have considerable activity, but exactly
when that might be expected is one Of those
things that would be worth some money to
know.
Only one lot of gas stock sold for 597s, and
the balance for 60 and CO.'S The sales at 90
included hundred-share lot. Two hum
dred shares were offered at 60M, and
