Business on the local stock board dur

exclusively to four stocks, Gas and
Capital Traction being the leaders by
a very large margin. In the former
case, the greatest gain was five points.

Capital Traction, which has been dor
mant for a long time, started OFF with
a rush on Tuesday and was carried up
eight points before the interest tagged.
In the case of Mergenthaler. there was
also a good Improvement, and whereas
the stock was plentiful on Monday and
