LOCAL FINANCIAL GOSSIP

Judged by the record. operations on the
Washington Stock Exchange yesterday
were nearly at the lowest point in the his
tory OF the body Stock 20 the amount Of
1856 shares and $1,000 in bonds was the to-
tai. and OF the stock 100 shares OF Lanston
was an option for sixty days.
Prices. however. were a little frmer.
and the small volume Of the days trans
actions could not hide the better senti-
ment that is surely coming 20 light. Yes
terday the New York market was whip
saving up and down within narrow mar
gins giving no indication which way mat
ters were going to turn. and the brokers
In Washington were mostly in a waiting
mood. believing apparently that nothing
could be gained by any other course than
simply biding their time until the tide in
speculative affairs shows unmistakable
evidence Of having set IN strong for bet
terment That this evidence will not be
long withheld is the opinion of most OBJ
servers of the market conditions.
IT is evident that iquidatiOn-that is.
selling high-pliced stocks at a sacrifice
simply to raise necessary money-is about
over in Washington. For three or four
days the bargain hunters have Jared
badly on the exchange. Holders will not
sell stock for what they are bidding. and
the record has been growing shorter and
shorter each day. The next step. It is ex-
pected. viii be a substantial rise in the
bids when more business will be trans
acted
The governing board Of the exchange
met yesterday and elected Mr. Charles J.
Bell chairman. IN place Of Mr.. William
Mearns, who occupied that position last
year.

COMMENT ON MARhET.

Benjamin Woodruff, Of Post & Flagg-
The market acted in manner similar
to the way it behaved a week ago. At
that time prices opened just about where
they did this morning and the bear party
started in hammering prices and con-
tinued the operation untii well toward
the end Of the week This maneuver was
repeated to-day and the decline was help
ed along by the announcement of a new
issue of equipment trust by the New
York Central Money somewhat easier
on call. although time funds are still
unobtainahle, ana reports from the bank
ing community are TO the effect that
things are fundamentally much better.
The market is in the same defenseless
position, with considerable bear pressure
and dribbling liquidation going on"
f. ". Crew. OF Henry CIews & Co.
Foreign houses cabIed over q few selling
orders this morning. The professional
traders are not as bearish as they have
been. yet II is realized on all sides that
buying power is limited. outside OF that
which springs up from short covering.
While assistance was rendered to some
overeXtended bull accounts last week, Il
is believed this was done 10 permit Of
liquidation without undue sacrifice On
strong spots long stock will be constantly
fed out. All that CaE De said regarding
the market Is that considering the large
outstanding short interest, it is sUrpris-
ing that Il does not show more strength"

New York. Nov. 25.-Decllnes In the

the market was. after all. so weak
throughout the day as to present an en-
tire change of front from that manifested
at the last stock Exchange session.
II was again Illustrated that the bulk
OF speculative transactions in the market
proceed from the operations of the short
Interest there. Sharp recoveries in prices
take place from time to time owing to
the occasional hasty buying back Of
stocks by spectators of this nature.
Then as the market is supported by
but a meager demand for stocks for in
vestment, d sagging tendency in prices
sets In as soon as spectators for the
