LOCAL SECURITIES SELL WELL, WITH
GAS AND LANSTON LEAD
ING MARKET.

Business on the local stock exchange
today was of a better volume than has
marked the proceedings at recent ses-
sions. A large number Of the members
were present and IL became evident inn
mediately after the opening that they
were there to buy securities. The bid
ding for bonds was active. but few Of
that class Of securities were TO be had
Railroad shares also received scant at
tention so Tar as sales were concerned
a few shares Of Railway preferred sell
ing at fractions below q, being the only
issues going TO the record
Real business began with the call Of
washington Gas. which started in on
fractional lots at q and small fractions
higher and tscen settled down To u -Or
sales Of $50 shares IN 25-share lots The
takers OF the stock were In confident
mood, as IF sure OF their ground. and it
seemed. probable that much more Of the
stock would have been bought # IL had
been offered.
Lsnston was very active on the new
higher level established last week. It
sold in various sized lots from 94Ts 10
9pL, with a sale OF a single share al
80. which established mex high record
for the stock
Bank shares attracted little attention.

low-priced railroad shares moved up
Sharply on small dealings
But the buying power OF the market
was soon exhausted. the early advances
