LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The common stock Of the Washington
Railway and Electric Company again today
illustrated the upward tendency Of the
market. This was accomplish ID not as
much by the volume of the trading as 1t
was by the revelation that there Is no
stock for sale at the recent prevailing
prices.
Yesterday the bid for this stock advanced
from 35A. which was the closing bid on
Monday, to 361 and today the bid rose to
371. making an advance of almost two
points in this particular stock in the last
two days. One sale was recorded at 80.
Yesterday some 900 shares. including an
option on 100 shares. were sold at fractional
figures below "a and on that level and also
at 38h Today fractional lot OF the
stock came on the market at 80 and In
spite Of tne rise Of point and half In
the bid for large and small blocks no more
stock was to be had. except couple OF
Af1fty-share lots.
At the close the bid was 81 and the ask
ing price 40. This recovery from the recent
low levels in this particular stock follows
the movement in the larger market, where
the advance Of yesterday was maintained
today.
The balance of the list did not show
much evidence of the change In the situa-
tion-that Is. as far as the volume of trad
Ing was concerned, as well also In most
the same.
Some Of the preferred stock Of the WASH
ington Railway and Electric Company sold
for 10 and 191s. the former being the closing
bid of yesterday. The bid remained on
that level, while the asking price was 79h.
Several blocks of Gas stock sold for 5Sx
and as that seemed to supply the demand
at that figure a further offering was made
of a lot at an eighth Of point less. The
bid was osh, and the offering was with
drawn and 50 substituted for it. The buy
ing appeared to be mainly on the part Of
those who supplied options at 59A.
The downward plunge Of stocks which
set In the 18th instant is spoken of by the
Wall Street Journal as the most violent
since the Northern Pacific panic of 1901.
1t is described by that authority as the
mysterious panic" and by others as the
silent panic" and 1.-The quiet panic

Bankers have been as wrong In their
theories of the stock market in the last
few weeks as anybody. Hardly two of
them agree to the compelling causes

taken place.

NEW YORK, March 21.-The rising
movement in the stock market that began
yesterday In the purchase of large amounts
of securities by investment houses con-
tinucd this morning. At the opening prices
were widely above yesterdays close, al
most reproducing the conditions following
March H. when the list rose rapidly enough
in two days to retrieve two-thirds of its
losses.
The gains that followed Immediately after
this high opening We're held only in part
in the subsequent trading. AS was the
case yesterday, the advance at first was
general. with no securities unduly promi-
nent by reason either of strength or weak
ness Recessions took place from time to
time in the limited range consistent with
an advancing market. strong tone, now
ever artificial in origin it may have been'
pervaded the list and promoted a generally
bullish feeling.
The reasons for the change of sentiment
toward the market were not far to seek

strongly In contrast with the belief held in
the street and very genehally throughout
the country of the administrations an

Industries.
Cause for the Rise.
But the most immediate cause for the
markets rise was the action taken by
traders generally, backed by the support of
eminent bankers In buying stocks. The
professionals were not alone in their belief
that Il was time for better prices, as large
orders from customers outside the city tes-
titled.
After the first hour trading was rot con-
Quoted on so large a scale. The first order
of buving had discouraged the shorts. but
they We're by no means driven from the
field arguing that the rise had been too
rapid and continuous to be permanent. and
obviously that conditions which produced
so much disorder and such heavy declines
hardly a week ago. however they bad been
modified were not yet by way OF being
eliminated.
This view was sustained In part by the
pruft-taking operations that were much In
evidence before noon. and that served to
point out weakness in special issues. Out
side buying absorbed some of the selling
by SPECTATORS for quick turns but in
the main the effect of profit taking was
shown I'm the decline from the high prices
noon and continued for n short time. Re
sulting trading was of an irregular charac-
ter and indetcrminate tone that brought
prices generally to lower levels.
