Those who did not care about tales OF

ago.
similar query was made when gas
stock was reached. and n bid OF 66A
was made, which is a point less than
the selling price of yesterday. 1t was
said about gas stock that last summer
it sold up to 81. No comment was made
on this information. and with but little
delay the next stock was taken up.
A few blocks OF the stock of the
United States Trust Company were for
sale. and they sold at OH, but the sup
ply at that price was not exhausted.
The usual bid of go was made for the
stock of the Union Savings Bank. which
seldom comes on the market, and re-
Spouse to the bid of sold was some
thing of a surprise. However, the pur-
chaser at once renewed the bid, and
