Stocks Sell Well Above the
Bids and Brokers Decline
to Take Low Figures.

Marginal differences between the seu-
ing price and the official price was the
feature Of the small volume of business
done on the washington Stock Elk
change today. Th- bid prices in several
cases we're scaled down stout fractions
from those Of SatUG day. but the sales
OF securities were well above these
prices.
For example. the closing bid price on
washington Railway and Electric. pre-
fcrred, was IT'S. but 80 shares of the
stock were sold at ISL. More Of this
stock was offered for sale, but the bid
was not sufficient to induce the Offering
broker 20 part with 1t. This broker
offered 30 shares on regular call and
again after call and was eager 20 sell,
but no one would buy 1t At a price with
10 the brokers' order This incident
shows that while stock Of the local
utility corporations is TO be had at fair
prices there is no pressure 10 sell at a

Some buying Of bonds was recorded
including washington Railway and
