There wasn't much doing on the local
market other than In the two stocks
named in the caption. Railway, COM
mon, and Washington Gas. Both were
in good demand and both moved UP to
higher prices and closed strong at the
top price of the session. Railway, COM
mon, started at 4Sh and stopped at 40.
Gas started at SIN and closed at Sh.
The general opinion regarding the ex-
cellent reports that will be presented
at the annual meeting is that they will
have an effect in giving still higher
prices to the stock. Moreover the divi-
dend makes the stock a desirable In
vestment. Bonds and bank stocks were
neglected.
Business Is improving at the banks.
The demand for collateral loans Is In
creasing and there are some good-sized
real estate loans on the skids. The
New York rate on deposits, 4 per cent,
Is also satisfactory to bankers and they
are keeping their balances well UP. The
clearings continue around $780, 900.
