LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The usual function on the day before
Christmas at the stock exchange Of pro-
vidng gifts of money to the employees of
the exchange took place today amid the
customary noise and hilarity. In addi-
ton cigars were passed about as Christ
mas greeting to the brokers while the call
was going on and the desks were being
thumped
There was enough stir and hustle to
satisfy the most exacting advocate of
activity, but 1t did not have correspond
ing influence on the transactions. The list
of sales was rather thin, as there was not
much attention paid to anything but the
Christmas exercises.
Gas stock. however, scored an advance
of an entire point. 1t was done very
easily, too, and the bidder practically car
RED the price along from the level OF

got one lot Of twenty-five shares. that is,
from other bro <ers, but in the course of
the trading he took couple that he had
for sale.
At the close the bid remained at Il while
the asking price was half point in adj
vance. At one time the principal trader
OF the day bid 7Ots for 100 shares, but
such a lot was not even offered.
Advances were made in the case of the
bonds and the preferred stock Of the
pany. while the bonds and stock OF the
Capital Traction Company were quoted at
somewhat lower levels.
Ten shares of the American National
Bank sold for 1885, and the bid was then
1875 and the asking price 1870.
