LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

Something was done in the bond list at
today's meeting Of the Stock Exchange
and at about the prevailing level OF
prices More CT the consolidated IS of
the electric light company were dealt In
than Of any other issue and the sales were
at 1O3 and 1G}b, which Is something less
than recent prices. Perhaps the indica-
tons Of the coming OH the market of
some of the bonds had some influence.
but at any rate such an event did not
happen, and perhaps it was not intended
that it should.
The rest of the list was passed over
without showing any demand or on the
other hand any desire to sell. The mar
ket was without feature and even some
of the securities that are usually on the
active list lost that distinction today and
took their places with the undtstinguish-
ed.
There is apparently no cause for the
present situation. at least. locally, and
so 1t is supposed 1t Is due to some In
f1uence from the general market. which
is not at all improbable. as that ire
quently happens, SO that when there Is
good deal going on in the general
market local business in securities is
apt to be stimulated. The effect is more
sympathetic than otherwise. so that
now, when at the large centers money
is not as plentiful for speculative pur-
poses on account of the advance in tue
rates for the use Of funds for such pur-
pose. 1t seems that local commitments
fall OF.
