LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The stock of the Bell Telephone Com
pany at today's meeting Of the stock ex-
change made further progress In the
course which has been pursued of late In
COINS to higher levels. The bid for the
stock was 1O0Ia at the session yesterday,
while today the bid was 1O1. The trans
actions in this stock on this market are
infrequent, and in this respect the securf-
ties Of the company, into which the local
concern was absorbed last year, are fol-
lowing the market course of the latter.
Gas stock also continued its upward
course, and while the bid for 1t was in
advance of what was recorded yesterday,
still the trading was slight and did not
include a single quotation lot. At the
close the bid was 67bs and the asking
price 6SA.
Still higher levels are predicted for this
security, especially by those who believe
that in the near future the company will
gain the right to issue additional stock
and turn the entire capitalization into
stock having a par value of 500.
Another entry on the list that showed
buoyant tendencies was the Potomac
Electric Light bonds of the series known
as "firsts." The bid for them went from
JOG of yesterday to 1O7 without bringing
any of them on the market. The asking
price was 10S.
Some Of the preferred stock of the
Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany sold for S5l9. which was the asking
price at the close of yesterdays trading
There was no further market for the
stock at that price either to buy or to
sell.
The stock of the United States Trust
Company sold at 96ss. which is the best
figure thus far attained in the advance
that Is in progress. The bid remained at
that figure with the asking price at 96&

Gossips.

From the San Francisco News Letter.
Women are not the only gossips: but be-
cause they have more delicate skins, they
ruin more quickly in this respect. Perhaps
they keep it up more persistently, as few
women know when to stop, either i'm good
or evil work. We women are enthusiasts
in all lines so when we take to the lower
paths we walk faster and longer than
men, What is episode in mans life
is a regular occupation in wOman's plan
of being.
