DAVIS CAPTAIN
 OF THE TEAM

Dan Pullen has been elected cap. tain of the football team at West Point. The election of captain fol lows immediately upon the annual Thanksgiving game. The selection is made out of the knowledge of the team that comes of that game as 1t is played. The election, therefore, is confirmation of the statement made in Major Richardson's cable to Mrs. Pullen, that Dan was the star in the army vs. navy game.
 Lieut.. Juenet, who passed through here in the fall, having completed the installation of the wireless system at various points in interior Alaska, wired the news yesterday to Mrs. Pullen, "Dan has been made cap tain of the team"

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The absence of some of the backing ele-
ment today in nowise curbed the enthu-
siasm or buoyancy on the Washington
Stock Exchange. The high range of
prices offered failed to attract sellers,
which necessitated higher bids from those
purchasing to fill market orders. While
this condition has been looked upon az
somewhat artificial. on account of the
rapidity Of the advances. yet the natural
outside demand. as well a. the buying for
belated short interests. invariably keeps
the last price the highest for the day.
The conditions here In small way are
not unlike those In New York.
Stocks naturally sought strong hands,
the speculative element being absolutely
eliminated. and present holders are not
disposed to take the profits available at
this time.
Everything indicates that standard secu-
rites will sell high. and the present level
will appear very cheap for them within q
fortnight. The bond market failed to de-
velop anything Of Importance.
Washington Railway and Electric pre-
ferred sold In modest quantities from 50
to S2a4, the latter being the last and
highest quotation of the day.
Washington Railway common was in
active. a strong bid Of 81 falling to dis
lodge any of the stock. The lowest Of
fered was 32h.
The recent sales Of Washington Gas do
not show intense eagerness to rush to
purchases at the present level. but the
character of the bids would indicate very
strong underlying demands between 90
and 892. There is no effort to create a
manipulative advance. but it would seem
as if the offer Of quantity Of stock
would find tudicious purchasers.
