LOCAL FINANCIAL GOSSIP.

Chief interest al the washington Stock
Exchange yesterday centered in an eXecu-
tive session of the board after the bust
ness Of the day, when the banking bin,
affecting banks in the District was con-
sidered. The board heard q report from
It's special committee on the subject, and
took action looking to a protest against
the bill in its passage through the Sen
ate. The fear of the brokers is that the
language of the bill is such that it
would bring all the brokers Of the city
under the provision that they be subject
to the scrutiny Of the Comptroller Of the
Currency, and force them to obey the
regulations relating to organization as
banks with paid in capital stock. It is
the understanding at the Capitol that
the banking bill will not become law.
Trading yesterday was light in volume,
being confined largely TO American
Graphophone common and Merchants and
Mechanics Savings Bank. The former
stock sold 30 sh8 res at E2lk. about points
above the ruling price for the past few
weeks. Merchants and Mechanics Bank
sold TO a. points above the price at
which 1t was listed a few weeks ago.
The annual report Of the Chesape; Ike
and Potomac Telephone Company shows
a floating indebtedness Of the corporation
amounting to $7024,OO0. Of which $2,325, 900
was incurred on notes during the last
year. The capital stock is $2.650.Oc0, and
the bonded debt s1,3I4OO0 Earnings 'or
the year were g. 452,076; expenses, $LS5S,-
81: net earnings, 1856. 5O4. out Of which the
interest charges and depreciation,
amounting 10 $5l1,S22, were deducted,
leaving q balance to surplus OF S75.6Sl
which, together with the surplus OF jan
uafy I, 1856. amounting TO $50 $50, makes a
total surplus on December 81, 1876. Of
