it seems that somewhere about 1880
there was run for at Ripon "A Ladies'

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The local stock market was no more
settled today when the exchange met
than yesterday. The tendency that de-
veloped then was in evidence again today.
and the general trend of the price move
ment Of the securities was downward.
All the traction securities. even includ-
ing the bonds. were dealt in on lower
level then that of the preceding day.
The movement for the most part was
limited and SO was the volume OF busi-
ness done. General indifference was dis
played and the concessions made in the
figures did not have the effect of increas-
ing the trading.
Capital Traction stock sold down to
1891, the per cent bonds of the COM
pany at III. while the best bid for the
preferred stock of the Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company was SSh The
common stock sold at 427s and the per
cent bonds at SSA These figures do not
show any very violent movement; In fact,
the changes are only fractional, but
they furnish indications of the limited
buying power. At the same time the
lack Of any pressure to sell accounts for
the slight margin of the recession In
prices.

the buyer, as was suggested. but at any
rate gas certificates were rather freely
offered today at 40, which was the bid
price of yesterday, and then the bidder
was unable to I'LL his order at that level.
He was not present today, and there was
no one to represent him. SO that four or
five of the thousand-dollar certificates
were on the floor at one time and at yes
terday's bid price. The best offer for them
today was 119.
The stock Of the company reached the
lowest level of recent days. when twenty
five shares sold for TAX. The best bid
after that was 74A, which Is a half point
less than the closing bid Of yesterday.
The asking price remained unchanged
and was 76k.
Mergenthaler continued its toboggan
course, and slid down over a couple OF
points below the selling price Of yester-
day. Today six ten-share lots were dealt
in five going for 212 and one for 211H.
A bid of 2O5 was made for 100 shares,
but there was no offering Of such block
1t is claimed that the stock went up too
fast. and this accounts for the present
movement in the opposite direction.
