LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS

As has been anticipated by those who are
familiar with the situation, Congress adj
journed without having enacted legislation
which had been proposed and which was
thought would have affected injuriously the
public utility companies.
1t was supposed. however. that the right
to bring the tracks within the plaza of
the new union station would be granted at
this session, but that did not prove to pc.
the case. However. as one OF the brokers
remarked at the close of the meeting Of the
stock exchange today. the delay In this
matter would prove In the end q saving
to the railway companies. as before this
privilege could be granted there would be.
time for the made ground Of the plaza to
settle. He thought that IL the work was
done at this stage that It would have to
be done over again In q short time at
considerable expense to the companies.
This was a comfortable view to take. and.
in general what was not done seemed to
give more satisfaction than what was
expected to be done.
The railway securities at the meeting OF
the stock exchange today maintained the
higher range which was gained a day or so
ago. Capital Traction stock did not figure
In the sales list, and the quotations were not
materially changed as compared with those
on Saturday. There was stock for sale at !
147, and the bid was a quarter Of point
below that. The difference was enough to
prevent trading. Quite a demand for the
stock developed at 145, and one or two
brokers bid that for several lots of 1OO
shares each. but they were not supplie!.
The common stock of the Washington
Railway and Electric Company was in good
demand at Al, and several hundred shares
were taken on that level. The buying was
principally by a broker who does not ordi-
narily appear In the market actively, but
he evidently had orders for such block
and filled them.
After that was done no effort was made
to find out how much more stock was to be
had at that price, and SO 1t continued to be
the asking price, with the bid an eighth
of point below 1t.
Nothing was done in the preferred stock,
and there was but little variation made In
the figures as compared with those of Sat
urday.
Gas stock also made a higher record, and
100 shares were supplied on q bid of 10. At
once the bid was renewed for another such
lot, but the asking price was quarter Of a
point ahead and that prevented any further
trading.
At the close the bid for the stock was
J97s and the asking price 68A.
A number of lots Of Lanston sold for IL,
and the bid was maintained at that range,
while the asking price was half q point in
advance. The quotations Of Saturday re-
manned also those of today.
