LOCAL FINANCIAL GOSSIP.

The Washington Stock Exchange yes
terday exhibited considerable animation
though the volume of trading was com
paratively small. As usual of late, busi-
ness was confined to the public utility
shares, with ii few exceptions. Eight
thousand Of the Washington Railway
and Electric Is found a market at 81 IA,
being a fraction above the best Of the
previous day.
Some noise wass shade over Washington
Gas, but only two transactions went on
record. one at 6S and one a quarter
better
Greene Cananea developed some strength
on larger sales than have recently gone to
record Four trades and about 225 shares
was the extent of the trading.
After call a sale of % shares OF
Railway and Electric common was ef-
fected, the first for several days. and 1t
is whispered along the line that there Is
something doing" In that issue again.
An effort to adjourn the exchange over
from Wednesday to next Monday did not
find favor with the members of the board.
II Is expected that the exchange viii meet
on Friday. as usual

for the higher wheat market to-day. Foreign mar
kets were higher and the news from there bullish.
The Northwestern news comes from responsible
sources and, in fact. from practically all sorts Of
correspondents The chief fear expressed is that the
plant is not making as much gain as it should in

claims of green bugs, and also some complaints Of

Oats ranged higher and fairly active. There was a
larger proportion Of outside buying than for some

z. ". Crew, Of Henry Clsws & Co
The lighter demand for stocks in the loan
crowd indicates that large number Of
shorts were induced TO cover yesterday.
In the face OF a Is per cent money rate
which prevailed. it is generally conceded
that manipulation caused the greater
part Of the advance; In others words, II
was a drive against the shorts. The ease
with which prices advance shows there
are no weak accounts overhanging the
market, therefore stocks are IN a posi-

Benz Woodruff, Of Post & Flagg-
"To-day's market held fairly well, though
showing considerable irregularity. The
high rates for money, the advance In
exchange to the gold export point again,
and the unfavorable government crop
report on cotton all tended TO give pause
to the rampant operations for the ad-
vance noticeable in the market at the
end Of last week and yesterday. There
has been a fair amount OF investment
buying; but most Of the Improvement
in prices has been due % manipulation
based on the technical position of the
market, where no new stocks was COM

rather an oversold aspect TO the situa-
ton. The bond market also has not re-
