LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

More of the stock of the United states
Trust Company was dealt In today at the
meeting Of the stock exchange than was
the case with any other security on the
list. The entire amount reached 1IU
shares. and. with the exception Of five
shares, the uniform price paid was 81.
with some lots at 971s. which Is the best
recent price for this stock. Some of the
transactions, as Is apt to be the case
when there Is active trading. will not in
volve the actual transfer of the stock,
but for the most part the selling seemed
to be of real stock, and practically all
that was for sale at that level was taken
although at the close the bid fell of an
eighth of a point, to 961s, with the asking
price 97h.
There is no explanation given Of this
shifting in the ownership OF the stock.
but those who are buying 1t are of the
opinion that it is worth more than cur
rent prices. such estimate being based
upon the business done and the profits
made by the company.
Quite a good deal of the stock of the
Capital Traction Company appeared to be
for sale. and the asking price was 131.
One Of the brokers during the trading
offered 200 shares at 1908. The buying
was good enough to advance the bid to
130N, which is higher figure than that
recorded yesterday.
The preferred stock of the Washington
Railway and Electric Company continued
on the lower levels reached yesterday. with
some slight Improvement in the bid at
the close.
Fractional lots sold on range OF from
S4A and S. and the bid at the close was
s4Ss and SAN asked. After call two 90
share lots sold for S4as.
An advance was also made in the fig
- Dali nj AvrtS ~vr0
Company of Pennsylvania, without re-
sulting in any transactions.
Two more of the subsidiary companies
of the American Telephone and Teie-
graph Company are to be merged with
one Of the large subsidiary companies
These are the Hudson River Telephone
Company and the New York and Penn
sylvania Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany The stockholders of these COM
panies are offered the opportunity Of ex-
changing their stock holdings for stock
in the Bell Telephone Company of Penn
sylvania.
The capital stock Of the Hudson River
New York and Pennsylvania Company,
81 100000. In each case one-half Of the
stock is owned by the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company.
1t is stated that exchange OF stock hold
ings will mean no change in the corporate
status of the three companies. as each
will continue to operate as a distinct
local Bell company. A similar plan was
carried out last spring in the case Of
the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company, which was merged with the
Bell Telephone of Pennsylvania. The
territory of the latter company now COM
prises large part of Pennsylvania. New
Jersey and Maryland and portion OF
Delaware and the District of Columbia.
With the inclusion of the New York
companies this operating territory will
be considerably enlarged. It now includes
such centers as Washington. Baltimore,
Philadelphia and New York.
