TRADE CONDITIONS.

NEW YORK, January 2S.-R. G. Dun
& Co.'S Weekly Review Of Trade says:
Development in trade is along conserv-
alive lines. Larger pay rolls in manu-
featuring centers naturally help retail
distribution, but this is still much re-
stricted, though underlying conditions
are firmly maintained because of reduced
stocks in retailers hands.
The prospect of a change in the GUS
toms revenue laws naturally curtails
operations in a number of important in
dustries. and many enterprises that
would add materially to the volume of
business are held in check until there is
definite knowledge regarding the provi-
SionS of these laws.
Continued low water restricts opera
tions of some New England paper and
other mills. In the south trade in
wholesale lines is considerably below
normal and full resumption is not yet
in sight. The movement Of cotton con-
tinues large and prices are firmly main
tanned. In the west factories in impor-
tant industries are still operated short
of full capacity, but additional help is
constantly employed. charging the out
put very gradually.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS,

The traction securities, and especially
those of the Washington Railway and
Electric Company, were the most active
Of any on the list at the meeting today OF
the Stock Exchange. The feature that
was regarded as of special interest was
the demand for odd lots, species of buy
ing which is looked upon as coming from
investment sources.
This was especially the case with the
preferred stock. The price paid for small
lots ranged from S6A to S6a4, with bids at
S6ls, which were not filled. The stock. or
fifty shares, sold at $685. and S6A, the
former marking the farthest point thus
far reached in the upward course of this
stock. At the close the bid was S6ls and
the close the figures were So bid and S61la
asked.
For the common stock the bid went to
Ala. with the asking price a quarter of a
point in advance.
The bonds of the company sold for So,
and that was the bid for large block,
the asking price for such a lot being $50.
At the close the figures were on those
levels.
Mergenthaler was also wanted in small
lots The stock or ten shares sold for
2OsA and at the close the bid was 20S1s
and the asking price 200. The asking price
OF yesterday became the bid price of to-
this security. After call ten shares sold
for 200.
The bank stock list was passed without
producing much trading. Five shares of
metropolitan Bank stock sold for 2l9 and
ten for half point in advance Of that,
while the bid was 219ss, with the asking
price unchanged at go.
couple OF ten-share lots of National
Savings and Trust Company's stock sold
for 19I19 and 1913 and the latter remained
as the bid. with the asking price a couple
of points in advance.
The bid for the stock of the United
States Trust Company reached 1917,
which is the highest record yet made in
that security. The lowest Offering was
about point in advance. Before the
close the bid was withdrawn and 1O1I was
for 1T with the asking price
a point better. After call ten shares sold
for 1O11a.

verely criticised Mr.. Runyon for not
making public his analyses of the local
gas supply, but Mr.. RunyOn replied that
there was nothing in the law requiring
him to do this, and that he had merely
made the tests for his own information.
Nor had he made any tests recently other
than those prescribed by law. He
thought the pending bill was a good one
and that it should pass, but he was
somewhat hazy on just what percentage
of carbon monoxide should be prescribed
as limit. He admitted the noXious
toxic qualities of carbon monoxide, and
thought there would be considerably less
danger to life If the bill became a law.
