LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

Some Capital Traction stock sold at to-
days meeting Of the stock exchange al
1851 This was the price for quotation
lots of twenty shares, which Is not more
than the highest recent level reached In
the trading in this stock and Is not much
below 1t is not supposed that the Slight
movement In this security has mad any
connection with the recent transactions
made by the company by which the
unused car barn property on l4th street
near Park road was turned into cash.
The possession of the latter commodity
Is not unusual with this company ana
so an occurrence Of that character ooes
not lead to conjectures on the part OF
stockholders as to whether theTe Is "
follow a distribution.
The circulation of rumor tnat the
Lanston dividend of per cent would be
resumed after the annual meeting In
April next did not have any influence on
the course of the stock today. as the fig
ures remained unchanged and there were
no transactions.
One of the brokers, however. was NOV
ed to announce that he had thousand
shares which he would be willing to part
with at II. but no bid for such lot was
heard. For 100 shares the bid Of IL was
renewed.
In some localities the practice has been
fully established Of banks demanding
from borrowers detailed statements of
their financial condition and the earnings
Of their business.
It is now said to be proposed to require
that such statements be audited and IN
dorsed by certified public accountants. In
this way 1t is believed that the system
can be extended and improved and the
standard of safety in the extension of
credit increased.
An examination OF the lists of recent
offerings made by bond houses leads to
the conclusion that municipal issues are
being given unusual prominence. The
preference of investors for this particular
class Of securities is explained on the
ground of the marked conservatism
which is displayed in making investments.
The preference shown for municipal
bonds Is not due to the higher return on
the money as compared with other classes
og bonds as they yield from 31s to per
cent on the prices offered to the public.
According to dispatch from Boston in
the Wall Street Journal the present own
er of the Boston and Maine railroad Is ].
P. Morgan & Co 1t is stated that this
firm was the hacker Of the purchaser Of
the New Haven railroad holdings at the
sale made last June. Since then the nee
essary stock to give an actual majority
control of the Boston and Maine has been
secured. AS Mr.. Morgan Is a director Of
the New Haven road. it Is presumed the
purchase was made in the interests of the
latter corporation, although on the same
ground such an inference might be drawn
in regard to the New York Central, Of
which Mr.. Morgan is also a director.
