LOCAL FINANCIAL Gossip.

Business started of well on the Wash
ington Stock Exchange yesterday, though
1t was somewhat restricted in volume.
Though prices are high on the local utility
shares, there is little for sale, the idea
seeming to prevail that prices will be
pushed higher on the present movement.
Trading in bonds was confined to Capital
Traction IS. which sold $4,5O0 at III,
half point above the prevailing price last
week.
Railway preferred went on record for
100 shares at 81 S-4 to 81 rs. with some Of
the stock offered at 81 and above.
Fifty shares of gas sold at 691s, and the
reason now given by brokers for the
strength in this stock is that the COM
pany will do something for the stockhold-
ers, whether it is allowed to capitalize
the money spent for expansion Of the
plant or not
Twenty-three shares of Capital Traction
brought 12lk and 10, which is strong
price for that security.
This ended the business Of the day, and
aside from the usual bidding for shares
which could not be had there was no
incident Of importance. The fact seems
to be that much more stock and bonds
would be taken If they came to the ex-
change for sale. showing that those who
bought local utility securities months ago
or last year at the high prices have faith
that those prices will be reached again
and that they will be enabled 10 get out
Of their holdings at what they gave for
them or possibly small advance. There
is no pressure 10 SELL and prices of nearly
all the local stocks and bonds have been
gradually climbing higher. until many of
them are back to what was regarded nor
mai figures a year or more ago The
bright feature OF the situation is these
securities would be taken II the holders
would part with them.

- SHERIDAN IN FL PRso.

FL PASO, Nov. 13.-iLeut. Phil H Sheridan, son of the great civil war leader by that name, was here today on his way to Washington in compIi. ance with an army order calling h1m for temporary duty in the office O, the chief of staff rf the army. This IS the military way of inviting the son of the illustrious commander Ia be present at the unYeiling of a mon ument erected in honor of his father by order of congress in Sheridan CIT cle, in Washington.
 Lieut.. Sheridan arrived this morn. ing from Fort Huschuca, Arizona, near Tombstone, where he is station ed with the Fifth cavalry of which he is junior officer in D troop. lie accompanied Capt. John NJ. Jenkins, also of the Fifth, and the two officers left on the Golden State Limited this afternoon for the east.
 The troop of wficn Lieut.. Sheridan is a member has been ordered TOT duty in the Hawaiian islands, and will be stationed few niles out of Hon. olulu. Two squadrons will go to the islands, while the Third will report for duty in Yellowstone NationaI park.
 Lieut.. Sheridan was the military aid to the president in Washington, taking charge of all the social func- tions at the capitol as the personal representative of the president ana was the social fa-o-ite of the Wash Ington season before coming west But instead of gliding over the ball ro0m floors vxifb fha foiriao oP uIaob ington society, he has taken up his duties as officer in the regular troop stationed in what is considered in the east ''the wilds of Arizona" The young lieutenant asked to be reliev- ed from duty at Washington in or der that he might jcin his troop, and life in cavalry camp seems to agree with him equally with the social whirl. for he is the picture of health, and a husky, pleasant young chap.
