LOCAL FINANCIAL GOSSIP.

After the transaction OF q small amount
Of business on the Washington Stock
Exchange yesterday, the brokers gave
expression to felicitations upon the clos
ing Of the year without mishap and wish
ing one another a Happy New Year. "
The hope was generally expressed that
1913 would prove more prosperous pc
Rod for the transaction OF business. from
the standpoint Of the speculator. than the
tvelvemonth gone had been.
c. c. Glover put the members 0t the
exchange In good humor by moving a
complimentary vote OF thanks to Presl-
dent Thomas Hume for the able manner
IN which he had presided over the meet
iRgs Of the exchange during the year.
This was sentiment to which all could
give hearty assent. and after the motion
had been seconded in eloquent fashion by
Z. SOuthard Parker, the orator OF the ex-
change, it was carried by unanimous
vote. After the session. there was gen
eral handshaklng and wishing of happy
returns OF the holiday period.
The principal feature Of the trading.
which amounted to l60 shares Of stock.
was the rapid jump OF Washington Rail-
way and Electric preferred. II sold in
good-sized lots from 6S5s TO 20. which was
the closing bid price with Il asked. These
figures are more than three points above
the opening prices of the week, and some
.of the brokers are wondering whether the
bull market on this particular issue is TO
keep on.

Ezra ID. Parker. manager Of the Wash
hgton clearing house. the Capital City
transacted a tri1e less than 81 ,O00. 600
more business in 1907 than in the preced-
