South list streets, Williamsburg. early to-
day and another is believed to have been

dren.
Before the greatcoats were spread Po-
lceman Smith caught one child, which

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The reaction in the course of the gen.
eral market which was going on yester-
day was continued today to a moderate
extent in case of some securities. and
this movement. which is looked upon as
only phase of the market. was reflected
to some extent in the course Of the local
market.
There is slight scaling of in the level
of price when the quotations of today are
compared with those of the preceding
day, but at the same time the volume OF
transactions was small.
The preferred stock of the Washing
ton Railway and Electric Company was
quoted for the first time, less the forth
coming dividend of $3.50 per share. Yes
terday the bid for the stock at the close
was SS&. including. of course. the divi-
dend, so that the bid of today shows q
difference of u of point more than the
amount of the semi-annual payment.
No change was. however, made in the
asking price.
After the call some transactions were
made in the common stock or the wash
ington Railway and Electric Company at
'9A. the seller also stating that he had
800 shares for sale at 1914.
Gas stock sold at 67h. and also at 677s.
and at one time the bid was maintained
at the latter level, out DefOre the close
it was withdrawn and e7k was substi-
tuted. The asking price was 67h. Yes
terday 675s was the bid and the stock was
offered at 50.
Mergenthaler was offered point and a
quarter less than the figures of yester-
day. namely, at 213A, but the bid was
212.
The trading in the bond list was slight,
but the figures were well maintained. and
but little indication Of the fluctuations in
the other portions of the list was shown
when the figures were put in for these
offerings.
A couple of Washington Railway bonds
sold for SSA, and that was the bid for
more.

FOOT BALL NOTES.

If both teams score in tomorrow's game
at New Haven 1t will be the first time
that such thing has happened since

Coach Houghton. according to all

West Point has not beaten the Navy
