LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The bulls have had everything their own
way at the meeting today of the Stock
Exchange. and in the case of some of
the securities on the active list an up
ward movement went on without bringing
out much of the stock. 1t was quite evil
dent what there was for sale was held
at higher figures than even the present
advance has reached.
This was brought out when the COM
mon stock of the Washington Railway
and Electric Company was called and the
bid rose from 81. which was the bid of
yesterday to %. without any sales. That
was the bid made for 800 shares. At
the close the bid was 21Z and the asking
price "a
An advance of a point and half was
made in the bid for the preferred stock.
Some small lots sold for 60 and for 20,
and two shares were taken at ~. The
bid for fifty shares rose to 6912 and the
asking price was I012
For gas stock the bid was half a point
higher than was the case yesterday. Some
stock was offered at SO, but that was
withdrawn. and at the close the bid was
61 with none offered. Some now say
that this stock is pegged to go to 81, but
give no reasons for such belief. which is
by no means uncommon when this stock
is under discussion.
The statement was made by members of
the mana cement of the Washington Rail
way and Electric Company that all ar
rangements for the finances of the COM
pany for the next few years have been
completed. and that everything of this sort
is in satisfactory shape. This is to be
brought out. it is said. in the report to
the stockholders which is now being pre-
pared.
Capital Traction stock sold at the rate
of the bid of yesterday. the difference
in the figures being the amount of the
quarterly dividend of 11 per cent.
Rignald w. Beall. vice president, and
Harry L. Huddleson. secretary, of the
Citizens Savings Bank, have resigned
from that institution as officers and di-
rectors in order to devote more time to
the development of the Federal American
Banking Corporation. in which they are
interested.
These gentlemen were the founders of
the Citizens Savings Bank. and as they
have aided in making it one of the SUBJ
stantial enterprises in the city, they now
feel justified in turning over the active
work to their fellow directors.
They do not dispose of their stock in
the institution.

A. F. DRAKE Recorder

In calling the attention of the
voters to the candidacy of A. F..
Drake who is an old resident of our
county and one of the strongest men
on the ticket. He is at present Dep
uty Recorder and no doubt one of the
best posted men on record work in
the county. He regrets however that
it has been impossible for him to see
all the voters of this county person
ally as the duties of the Office would
not permit it, but assures us that he
will appreciate any assistance you may
feel inclined to give him next Tues
day. We heartily recommend Mr..
Drake for this position and feel that
his vote should be a large one as he is
exceptionally we'll qualified for that
office. He is a poor man and has
never before asked the voters of this
county for any office. Boys, let us all
make it a point to talk for him, work
for him and vote for him.
