LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

A limited amount Of business, but done
on the higher recent range. is the record
Of tOday's meeting of the Stock Exchange
Unlike the market in New York, which
remained stationary, with tendency
toward lower levels, the local market ap-
pears to be going in the other direction
There were twenty-five shares of Capt.
tai Traction stock traded in and that did
not happen until after tbs call, but then
the price paid was 134, which is the best
figure for the stock in a good many
months. During the call the bid did not
advance beyond 133&. which. however,
was more than half point better than
the closing bid of yesterday.
AS soon as the sale of ten shares at
134 was made the bid for the stock or
twenty shares rose to 134. The asking
price during the call was 13o, but there
was no offering made after call in re-
sponse to the higher bid.
Gas stock went the other way. and
over 100 shares in twenty-f1ve-share lots
sold for 69l4 which Is the lowest price
recorded in the case of this stock since
the advance set in about the middle of
last month.
An option on fifty shares was offered
at 40. but no interest was taken in 1t
sufficient to have bid for it. bid OF
50 was made for 100 shares. and that
was the figure for twenty five shares The
asking price was 69ss.
A recent high record was also made
in the case of the stock of the Union
Trust Company. which has been steadily
advancing of late. Then shares. or a
quotation lot, sold for 124. and the bid
for another such lot was 123. while the
asking price was 124A. Yesterday the
bid for the stock was 1221z and the asking
price 125.
Bell of Pennsylvania stock also ad-
vanced, recovering from the decline which
was recently made, due. it is believed,
to the increase in the capital stock, for
the purpose of taking in the telephone
company of New Jersey Sixty shares
sold for 1O1A. and the bid remained on
that level, while the asking price was
1O1aa

Japanese government bonds were bought

Special DiSpafch TO me
NEW YORK, February 4.-After
three consecutive business sessions In
which the average level of prices Was
raised daily to slightly higher figures,
some sort of a reaction was almost
logically involved in a stock market
possessing the general characteristics
of that now prevailing. Hence, there
was no reasonable ground for surprise
with regard to the sagging tendencies
of today's dealings. Aside, however,
from the previously mentioned advance
since last Monday there was little to be
named in explanation of the markets 5
course.
There was indeed. rather more discus
sion with regard to the outlook in the
money market, and interest in that sub
ject was increased by quite substantial
rise. The advance in the money market
was referred primarily to yesterdays call
by the Secretary of the Treasury for the
return of $50 100000 of government FUNDS
by the depositary banks. and the neces-
sary transactions will have to be con-
cluded by the end of the present month.
Up to this time Wall street has accord
ed scant attention to the so-called Jap
anese question In the far western states.
and in consequence ii was perhaps only
logical that the defeat yesterday OF the
anti-Japanese measures in the California
legislature should have taken place with
out any noticeable influence on the stock
market

Advance in Money Rates.

There was some desultory comment
upon the fact that there will take place
four weeks hence a change in the federal
administration in Washington. but it did
net appear to be the case that the pros
pect in question was an appreciable in
fuence in the market. AS matter of
fact, apart from simple technical con-
siderations, the advance in the rates for
money might be cited as the only tangible
and logical reason for the generally re-
dictionary course of prices.
The London stock market. with the
exception of the American department,
was fairly steady, but foreign houses
resumed selling operations in the local
dealings upon the same small scale upon
which they have been conducted for the
past two weeks, with the exception of
yesterday. The Bank of England's rate
of discount was left unchanged at per
cent. and the banks weekly statement
showed a small decrease in the proper
tion of reserves to liabilities.
Small price changes were shown in
the commodity markets, and the days
returns with regard to the progress Of
the winter wheat crop were somewhat
encouraging.
Rumors About Gould Stocks.
Extended comment upon the transac-
tons in the stock market would appear
To be unnecessary in view of the general
character of the dealings. The sO-called
Gould stocks were again exceptionally
firm. and notwithstanding the denials
made yesterday there were again persist
ent reports that very important develop
ments in the affairs of the general sys-
tenn were impending.
Western Maryland scored a further
striking advance. Reading was rather
notably weak and the other ordinarily
active railway shares showed little ami
nation. Chicago Great Western broke
quite badly in connection with the prog
ress of the plans of reorganization.
The industrial and miscellaneous shares
were heavy. in common with the general
market. and for no particularly novel rea-
son Consolidated Gas scored a very strik-
ing decline during the forenoon.
Transactions in the local traction issues
developed no features of special interest.
in spite of the fact that another meeting
of the directors of the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit Company will be held tomorrow,
and that dividend rumors were as persis-
tently circulated as they have been for a
month past.
Dealings In both the stock and bond de-
partments of the market suffered in re-
spect Of activity with those recorded
earlier in the week.
