LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

Good buying developed at today's meet
ing of the Stock Exchange although it did
not crop out until after the call. There
was. of course, some buying and selling,
while the list Of securities was gone over,
but 1t did not amount to much either In
changes in the figures or In volume.
The only thing that might be looked
upon as out Of the ordinary. or rather as
in opposition to the usual course Of late
days, was the sale of some Gas stock at
1874. which represents quite an advance
over the figures of only few days past.
The demand for the stock was so good
that the bid remained at %, while "a was
the asking price. Yesterday the figures
were 73 bid and 73h asked but there were
no transactions. After call another sale
was recorded at 73ss.
Lanston also got back to a former high
level, and one lot sold for IA and another
for quarter Of a point less.
United States Trust sold up to 1O0ls and
then the bid was par and an eighth.
One broker bought $4,000 of Washing
and two 5000 lots went for the same
figure.
Bell Telephone stock sold for 103, which
is recent high figure for this stock,
while the preferred stock of the Washing
ton Railway and Electric Company sold
to the extent of fifty shares at 91h,
level which has not been reached by this
security in several years.

NEW YORK, April oo-On somewhat
reduced volume of business the stock
market today resumed the strong tone
which has characterized the dealings for
several weeks past. At the same time
there was evident quite a marked shift
ing Of speculative interest into new quar-
ters. Thus in todays transactions the
local traction shares were all notably
strong and active chiefly In connection
with reports favorable to the operation of
those lines which were said to have been
dictated by the public service commission.
The Industrial and miscellaneous stocks
were again prominent in the days trans

tivity displayed by American Telephone

shares and the American Can issues. Lit

Notable Railway Advances.
The railway shares list was commonly
hrm, with substa ntial advances scored
In Union and Southern Pacific, Norfolk
and Western and New York Central.
The London stock market was dull, but
American shares were decidedly firm

the local market to the extent Of about
10000 shares. The discount rate of the

Importance In the dealings in the Eu-
ropean stock markets.
Limited Offering Of Funds.
Money market circumstances continued
to exhibit the hardening tone noted yes
terday. chiefly because Of the more linn.
ited offerings of funds. Little or no at
tention appeared to be devoted to the
routine circumstances Of the day, In
eludinG dividend announcements and
statements OF earnings.
Transactions in the market appeared
In fact TO be governed by the same gen
eral and more or less indefinite set Of
circumstances which have prevailed for
the past month or more. The continued
excitement and violent fluctuations in the
grain market exerted as small influence
in the transactions in securities az has
been the case previously.
