were two buyers constituted the unusual
feature. Some odd lots were disposed OF
at that figure and then the bid for
quotation lot was 20. A bid was also
made for the preferred stock of the COM

quotation lots.
The bid for Mergenthaler made another
upward hitch today and reached GOSH. the
selling price OF yesterday, and remained
there.
Some of the stock of the National Saw

today, and the exact amount, as the
trading brought out, was forty shares
These were all taken by one broker. who
advanced the bid to 1884, and all the sales
were made at that figure. The buyer
subsequently ran the bid up a point high

up OF stock at that price.
Nothing was done in gas stock. After
the call fifty shares were offered for sale
at 65A. but the best bid for such lot
was 64h.
