ALL THE LOCAL BOOMS
TOOK A DAY OFF
Gas Advanced Fractionally, Meeting
Good Selling on the Way Up.
Lanston Receded Slightly.

The unexpected activity and strong
buying Of Gas bonds at the opening OF
today session of the local stock board
led the members to expect a continuation
of the violent action of yesterday when
II came TO the stock OF the gas com
pany. The street had been full of ru-
mors all the morning and the question
on every lip was What do you know
about Cas- The balance OF the list
was hurried through with but little at
tentlon 10 prices, and when the presid-
ing OFFICER announced Gas stock In the
call there was a hush of suppressed ex-
pectatiOn which was ready to break
out on slight provocation. The bidding
was approached cautiously, as is usual
after every rapid move, and all the tao
tics known To the brokers adopted to
discover the position of the market. AT
e2l1, which Is a good fraction above the
close Of yesterday, stock was encounter
ed, and after 200 shares had been taken
and the selling still continued, buyers
retired and We're satisfied 10 allow the
nguTes 10 remain as close TO sales as
could be done without danger the clos
ing bid standing at 623s with limited
demand.
The price at which Lanston had been
lifted to on yesterday proved too at
traCtive to the selling contingent and tho
stock came out rather freely, with the
result that recession OF a small fraC-
tiou was made and something like ]. 400
shares marketed at 145s. Strong efforts
TO register sales at Is and hold the price
there proved inecectual as the amount
Of stock pressing was too great to be
absorbed Mergenthaler was treated
with the same indifference that has
marked its course FOR some weeks.
The lack Of interest in railroad
stocks is shown by the small sales of
these One-time favOrites that formerly
Held the center of the stage with tre-
mendouS trading. Less than 200 shares
of the Washington Railway. with none
of Capital Traction, was all the record
called for today.
The rights Of Greene Copper were
traded in today for the first time, and
again il required the attention of the
mathematical members to figure out
their value. Starting at % they broke
rapidly 10 20. regaining a point. only
20 break badly 10 Is. and closing at the
lowest. The price frights around 20
give a slight chance for the arbitrage
brokers TO scalp" the market.
Announcement on the floor of the eX-
change that Boston had stricken Greene
Copper from their list was followed by
an uptUrn in prices with some caustic
criticism of the action. Later the sell
iEg was reversed with some vigOr and
the price broke badly. Sales in New
York We're reported as low as Is during
the day.
