.POOL. 1RE!ENF ORCED,'
GAS STOCK BOOMS
Higher Prices Paid For Sew
eral of the Favored
Securities.

The all4ge1 "Gas pool" came up smil-
ing at tic session OF the Washington
Stock Exchange today. In fact, the
laugh was all on their side. Those who
had been unwlse enough TO let go their
holdings yesterday at low prices felt
they were the V inns Of misplaced con-
fidence.
The closing figures plainly showed
what might have been" had they welt
ed one day longer But you never cstn
tell what "a pool is going 10 do. For
several days they have shown dispo-
sition TO retire as gracefully as possible
from their position and allow the stock
TO come down 10 a lower level Then
it was that the pool became the tar
get for many testing remarks.
Today all was changed. and with the
aid OF strong re-enforcements the price
was marked up fun point, reaching
almost TO the figure AZ which the first
signal OF distress had been lifted. In
the usual vernacular, the buying was
| better than the selling" and again ru-
mors Of a 'meloI. cutting are heard.
Capital Traction bonds again contin-
ued their onward and upward fight. and
on the buying Of over 5000 touched 10,
which is nearly point above the quota
ton OF yesterday. The buying is greedy,
almost VoraclOus, and appears most anX-
| ious TO accumulate the bonds at any
| reasonable figure. The prophets are be-
ginning TO see the correctness of their
| predictions and are feeling pretty good
