POTOMAC INSURANCE
COMES TO FRONT
Capital Traction Broke Badly
on Small Sales and Lack
of Support.

Interest on the Washington stock EX-
change today centered largely around
the story, published fully in The Times
yesterday, of the intention to elect Sec
rotary Loeb as president Of the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Company
at the forthcoming election on January
/. 1t was generally conceded that the
selection would be a most excellent one
and much curiosity was evoked as to
the probable action Of the stock because
of the announcement and the wide pub
licity given the report. But as usual in
such cases, the managers Of the market
movements disappointed everybody, and
no attempt was made 10 change the
figures from those heretofore existing.
There was free buying of the bonds, but
the stock, both common and preferred,
was allowed to remain quiescent.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1907-04-26

Such was not the case, however, with
Capital Traction. which was freely sold
on every good bid, and seemed plentiful
at the lowest figures at the close. on
the after call offers 10 sell at the bid
price were repeatedly made, but with
out avail. as buyers were nOticeably
indispOsed 10 take advantage OF them.
