LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

Two brokers today at the meeting OF
thc stock exchange wanted to buy Amer
lean Bank stock. One OF them took
couple of broken lots OF five and seven
shares at 1856. which was the price asked
and which was also two points higher
than the best price paid during the re-
cent rise for q quotation lot OF ten
shares.
At the same time the purchaser observ-
ed that there was no limit to his order.
not even as to the price. He was as good
as his word for he topped the best bid
made by the broker who has been gather
ing in most Of the stock by going an
eighth of a point higher. The bid at the
close was 1851 and the asking price 1885,
According to the general understanding
Of the nature of the market for the stock
1t Is only temporary. and the question Is
whether the high prices will result IN
bringing out any considerable quantity
OF the stock in blocks.
It might be inferred from what hap
pened today when the Union Trust Com
pany stock was called that the movement
time about one hundred and sixty shares
OF stock have been taken. and the range
OF the buying has been from Hay to
114M. Today the bid was 114&. but there
was quite evident the buying was over
for the time. 1t Is believed the holdings
of an estate have been recently marketed
and that the supply from that source has
been exhausted.
The balance OF the list did not afford
much In the way of Trading or new
features. A couple Of twenty-share lots
OF Capital Traction stock sold for 1901.
and, while the bid went q quarter Of
point higher, there was no stock offered
for sale at less than 131. Nothing Of
consequence developed in the case of the
other traction stocks. which seem to have
fallen into q rut
About the only attempt that is made
to pull them out IL the inquiry at times
from one Of the brokers for the common
stock of the Washington Railway Com
pany. In this connection there is also
heard revival Of the prediction that was
made in the early part of the year that
a dividend on the common stock might be
expected during the coming year. only at
this time. 1t IL said. 1t will be per
cent instead OF per cent. ~ the story
went earlier in the season.
The proceeds from additional issue of
stock and bonds authorized by the WASH
ington Baltimore and Annapolis Electric
Company. amounting to a mil
lion and q half dollars, will be used. 1t is
stated. by J. N Shanahan. vice president
and general manager. for the purchase of
cars and for the installation Of additional
electrical apparatus.
Mr.. Shanahan is also authority for the
statement that the road is just about
meeting its fixed charges.
On the date OF the last national bank
statement. which was in the latter part
OF last month, the total individual de-
posits were 1911 .281 900, in excess Of the
total December 3, 1907.
Forty per cent Of the employees Of the
United States Steel Corporation. or about
10000 out Of the total of 5000 stock
holders. own stock in that corporation.

Further Reduced Volume in
Dealings Today.
TONE HIGHLY IRREGULAR
Uncertain Tendencies Influenced
Price Movements.
LONDON DULL AND UNSTEADY
Some Stocks Showed Exceptional
Stength Despite Erratic Market
at Large.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, October 23.-There was
further falling away in the volume OF
business in todays business session upon
the stock exchange and the tone OF the
market was highly irregular. Stocks OF
the same classification and Affiliations
moved In contrary directions. and IN
some cases the common and preferred
shares Of the same company followed
divergent courses.
At the outset Of the dealings the market
appeared to derive its tone in measure
from that of the London market. which
was also dull and irregular. Foreign
houses reversed the position which they
assumed previously during the week. but
the total sales for foreign account were
not much In excess OF 10. 600 shares.
The political developments promised
for next week were held accountable In
Wall street gossip for the uncertain Ten
denotes of the market, and Indeed there
was little otherwise to be mentioned IN
exclamation of the tendencies displayed.
Money market conditions and those In
the foreign exchanges showed no ma
terial alterations.
Some Advances Scored.
A number Of stocks showed excepttonoi
strength throughout and despite the IT.
regularity Of the market At large. A
further slight advance in the selling
price for copper metal was made the
basis for a rise in the shares OF the
copper-producing companies. National
Lead and American Smelling were both
firm.
The United States Steel shares were
also steady, with a repetition OF the re-
cent rumors current with regard to the
showing which the corporation makes IN
its quarterly statement next Iuesoay
afternoon. Brooklyn Rapid Transit was
likewise exceptionally strong. but no par
ticular reason was vouchsafed for the
rise In that stock beyond the rather fAr-
fetched one furnished by the outturn OF
the election in Cleveland yesterday.
Railway Leaders Active.
The railway share list afforded an an
biased number OF advances and declines
for none Of which were any other than
technical reasons advanced. AS usual.
Union and Southern Pacific and Reading
were the most active stocks In this de-
partment, although Northern Pacific was
also dealt in upon a fairly liberal scale
Firm features In this department were
Atchison. New York Central and Penn
sylvania, although the two last named
securities did not exhibit the same de-
gree OF animation which they displayed
yesterday.
There was little discussion Of the out
morrow. and the preliminary estimates
Indicated q gain in cash by the banks
during the week OF something less than
81, 100000.
