To-morrow'B bank statement played no
little part IN to-day's movement OF the

in the minds Of calm observers the fact
that call money rates ala not stiffen was

Manifestiy. a large reduction In loans
must have been made by tho banks this

Estimates OF this loss Of cash. as col
Iected and published to-day, generally
ranged between S7.5OO.OOO and 100000.
There are some reasons FOR thinking
that the loss In cash VIII actually run
in the neighborhood Of the higher figure.
but that a heavy decrease In both loans
and deposits has also occurred, leaving
the bank surplus not far from last week S
figures.

Sterling exchange to-day was IN

otherwise have been a stimulating factor
in the price OF sterling. the advance in

LOCAL FINANCIAL GOSSIP.

Washington Railway and Electric pre-
ferred held the center OF the stage on
the Washington Stock Exchange yester-
day II sold in various lots from 10
shares 20 800, with the majority OF the
sales at 1914. though a few OF the smaller
lots went at a fraction above that figure.
The trading In this stock was largely be-
tween two brokers. and is understood TO
have been for investment purposes large
~. The interests which two years ago
acquired control OF the property. and IN
the subsequent election changed the per-
sonnet OF the management, have been
picking up the stock ever since and CEN
tering the ownership Of the property more
solidly in Washington. The management
OF the company by local capitalists has
been admirable and the earning power Of
the property much increased in the two
years OF the local control Better still.
betterments OF the property have gone
steadily forward, and those best informed
about the affairs OF the corporation con-
f1dently affirm that the company viii
surely pay a dividend on the capital stock
in the not distant future. The preferred
stock Is looked upon as good buy" in
the parlance OF the street. In that II Is
at a moderate price. with the property
behind It looking UP. This accounts for
the activity IN the stock and the readi-
ness Of brokers 20 take Il when offered
even in large amounts. as was the case
yesterday.
Lanston stock was not so active yester-
day as had been expected, because Of the
announcement by the company OF the
long-expected dividend Before yester-
days meeting Of the exchange a block
Of the stock was sold privately at 203s
When the stock was reached on call yes
terday there was some hesitancy to offer
the shares. II had been selling at frac-
tons between is and 70 for more than q
week. Finally odd lots OF the stock were
bid in at 20A. and larger lots at 20 and
1879.
Washington Gas sold at Is, and Ner-
genthaler at PA Gas stock gives evil
dence OF being scarce. Yesterday there
was an urgent bidder for the stock In
quotation lots. but after putting I'D the
price he secured only a small lot az S.
Some offerings were entered at SO. but in
