PROFIT TAKING
ALL ALONG THE LINE
Selling Under Cover of
Higher Prices.

NEW YORK. Jan. 13-The strong
opening was on the average probably
the highest OF the short session. The
impression left in the mind of an oh
server was distinctly that long stock
was for sale from the first not In a fixed
amount. but 10 any extent That the mar
ket would take it. The tone Of the next
half hour or so was heavy. but around
II o'clock general strength was resumed
and the level reached then was almost,
II not quite. equal TO the opening.
Twenty minutes later the publication
OF the bank statement colncided at least
with vigorous selling. Prices through
out the active list declined and the aver
age OF the day was higher only because

The closing average OF the international
list. or OF the twenty stocks usually
most active, was somewhat lower.
Large Increase in Reserve.
The great increase in bank surplus

REVIEW OF THE WEEK
IN LOCAL STOCK MARKET

a very decided improvement is noted
In the local stock market since the be-
ginning OF the year. Not only is this
shown BY a larger volume of business.
but also by the increasing Improvement
in the level Of prices. The growing ease
of money and the relaxation from the
strain of the high rates which pre-
vailed in New York in the closing week
of last year and which was reflected here
by the unwillingness to extend acco5zl1ao-
dations seems now TO be gradually tax
ing place. While it is true this condi-
ton has not vet reached normal il is
also true that this sentiment has in
spired trading and the result is shown
In the daily increase of activity and
better prices.
Capital Traction Receivers Loss.
Several changes OF Importance have
taken place during the week and none
more notable than IN the case of Cap
ttal Traction. On the announcement OF
Mr.. Glover's resignation there was
some considerable selling of the stock
and the prices ran of several points.
Numerous orders on the part OF in
vestors came pouring in. attracted by
the lower figures and on strong buying
the loss was almost entirely recovered.
Washington Railway.
The trading in the stocks and bonds
or tie Washington Railway COMPANY
was also on more generous scale and
the dealings ran well up to ordinary
good figures. The common particular
~ scored a good advance, and the mar
ket closed strong. with the offers to
take liberal quantities. On yesterday
fen Inv -
ferred were Unfortunately sold TO
facilitate buying of the common and
with some success. The bonds made 1
a net gain for point. and were well /
taken by a good class Of investors.
Bank Stocks.
Several new high records were made
in bank stocks. and lack of material
was the only reason that prevented
larger dealings. Farmers and Me-
chanics', Second National. Lincoln,
Traders, and Bank Of Washington were
each sought after and prices seemed no
object If the stock could be secured
American and National City were we'll

Trust Stocks.

the trust stocks Sales in National
Safe Deposit and American Security
were about equal 70 previous one. The /.
bid on Washington Loan and Trust was
advanced TO 22O. while that of Union h
