LOCAL FINANCIAL GOSSIP.

Yesterdays session Of the local stock
exchange may be designated as an off
day IN stocks. as only one OF the recent
leaders was in evidence IN the trading.
AT the opening bids were entered for sew
eral issues OF the local utility bonds and
one Washington Gas certificate was sold
at l02 and one Washington Railway and
Electric four at IS IL.
Capital Traction sold five shares at
lSl II. This stock has now passed into
the investment class OF securities and
sells only IN driblets. usually at an ad-
vance over previous figures.
Washington Railway and Electric Com
mon was the active issue OF the day, sell
Ing on an up grade from AZ ID TO IS.
The forest sale was for i've shares and
the last Of 1000 shares. the buying broker
being also the one offering the stock. The
total sales were ,455 shares
Lanston sold 200 shares at Is "a
Bank shares were IN good demand
Commercial, Metropolitan and American
entering upon the record. mostly In quo
tation lots.
The real feature Of the session was
the slump Of more than 50 a share in the
bid price OF Gas. There were no sales,
but last Friday the bid price was Il 81.
terday the bid price fell as low as "A,
with no one to offer the stock It is
only fair 20 say that the broker who
usually supports this stock was absent
from the exchange. Part OF the loss
yesterday may also be ascribed TO the
fact that the stock was bid ex-dividend.
