LWAYPREFERRED
BECOMES ALEADER
IN LOCAL MARKET
Stock Sells on Advancing
Bids From 80 IA to 90,
With 400 Shares Taken.

Washington Railway preferred. like
a. comet, flashed into the local specu-
lative armament today. and made
some impression among the bright
particular lights in that sky. 1t was
after call when the heavenly messen-
ger arrived, and 1t continued to flash
brighter and brighter until the close
Of the star gazing.
More than 400 shares of this stock,
which has been quiescent of late,
came upon the market. and was sold
from S9K to 80. The sales were in
quotation lots. broken lots and any
old lots that could be had, and the
takers were there all the while with
the price when the holders would let
go. The trading was fast, and the
stock came out in big wads as the
price advanced. The reason for the
activity and advance of the preferred
are the same as those which gave
such a boom to the common stock
some days ago.
On call some stiff trading was record
ed in Potomac Consolidated bonds at
1O2A. Steamboat SIS and Columbia Rail-
road 6's also entered into the trading,
the former at 104z, and the latter at l03.

Other trading on the local exchange
was small and scattered between Capt.

Secret Wells Sale
Of Dwelling Row

Details of the sale today for $3.50, 900
OF row Of dwellings, known as 1910
to 1920 street northwest. in the heart
of the business district, are being
guarded by the strtctest secrecy, and
the transaction is causing much specu-
lation among local brokers.
One of the most significant of the
terms Of the order OF sale, passed by
Justice Anderson July 6. is a clause pro-
minimum of $4,000 be put on the prop
erty, the purchase price may be raised
to $4,000.
The transfer of the property, which is
part of the old Thompson estate, was
made through the +. II. Smith Com
pany, and the ostensible purchaser is
Edward G. Perry, who is connected with
that corporation. What improvements
will be made to the property is not
known, and Lee d. Latimer, of the
realty concern, who engineered the sale
this morning refused to discuss the
matter.
1t is understood the purchaser, whose
name is withheld, intends using the
property for the erection of several
business properties, and that he will not
improve II by one large building
The order of sale was passed by the
District Supreme Court a few days ago
in connection with the settlement of the
estate o fthe late Mary Anne V. Thomp-
son, and made the American Security
and Trust Company trustee to convey
the real estate to Edward G.. Perry. By
the terms of the sale 1t is understood
$4,000 cash was paid. and a trust of
S22O,O00 was placed upon the property.
The land at present is. improved by
a row Of three-story brick residences,
but 1t is said that these will be torn
down to make way for more modern
improvements.
When the trend Of the business dis
trict took in G street few years ago,
this piece of property, known as lots
20 and q. in square 23, was considered
a valuable tract for business purposes.
AS soon as the settlement Of the Thomp-
son estate was undertaken, and this
tract offered for sale, there were sew
erai deals on, 1t is said. and the latest
failed a few months ago. because no
order Of sale was passed by the court
The property in question contains ap-
proximately 1900 square feet, and the
price of property indicated by this sale
is in the neighborhood of $50 a foot;
although other property nearby has
sold recently for as high as s4 and $25
a foot.
The present deal, which has result
ed in today's sale, has been in prospect,
1t is said for some time, but the affair
has proceeded without jublicity,
so that even the heirs of the Thompson
estate do not know the real purchaser
Of the tract.

SHORT COVERING STARTS A RISE
AND GREAT ACTIVITY IN NEW
YORK MARKET

! so, traders are essentially optimistic
and expect a reversal of the dullness
which has hung over the market for
ten days. During the first hour the
sales were upward of 100000 shares,
10000 more than during a whole day s
business one day last week.
On June 30, at the close OF the fiscal
year, ST. Paul showed surplus Tor
dividends in the neighborhood Of &c.
10000, sufficient to meet the per
cent dividend requirements, and car
ries a small surplus to balance ac-
count.
Western Maryland for May showed
gross decrease in earnings OF $4O,44.
Total income decrease, SIS, ,l25; Earn,
ings of the Missouri Pacific decreased
$3S, ,125.
The Baltimore and Ohio has placed
an order for ten mallet engines, each
weighing 460, 900 pounds.
On all sides the story of generous
rains in the corn States and the ad-
vancement Of corn at least two weeks
ahead of the season, with the improve
ment in late wheat, has caused the
Street to give the crop-killer the cold
shoulder and to pay strict attention to
the brighter side Of the situation. The
Hill roads were among the most active
of the leaders on the better outlook
and assurance of reciprocity, but the
real leaders were Union Pacific, Read
ing, and Steel common.
The market became less active about
noon, but held the mornings advance in
prices, adding a little here and there.
Sales to noon were well above 10000,
showing a great departure from past
days. The short interest in the market
has been reduced somewhat today, but
1t was for the most part the little fel-
lows with small accounts, and the great
body of those on the selling side are
still to be reckoned with.
During the first hour of the afternoon
prices were firm and the market strong
and steady.
The Washington times., 1911-07-19

NEW YORK. July 19.-The stock
market broke away from its encalmed
condition today and went sailing away
under a favorable breeze. The activi-
ty of Interboro yesterday in the after
noon seemed to be the signal for haul
ing up the sails on the financial yacht.
Naturally it was the center of interest
at the opening this morning, and when
il advanced a point at the opening IT
was the signal for the shorts to cover.
The movement extended to the railroad
shares and its stimulating effect was
felt all along the line.
The leaders in he market opened
stout fractions higher and sold up dur
ing the first hour of business. The mar
ket was active, verging upon fevertsh-
ness. Atchinson opened Is OF a point
up and sold a quarter higher Great
Northern preferred added an eighth on
the opening and sold to 1854 within a
few minutes Union Pacific was the
most active stock in the early trading,
opening II higher, at 1S924, and adding
q point in the early sales. Some of
this was lost. and the stock fiuctuated
considerably, but generally held we'll
last nights close. Reading was very
active, but in a narrower range of
price fluctuations.
The industrials shared the advance,
Cotton Oil, Copper, and Sugar all being
strong. Steel was less active than
might have been expected, but added
half point to the opening, which was
at 1914.
The rise in the market Is due to IA
vorable weather reports, short cover
ing, and general strength in the London
market 1t is, moreover, following the
natural order of things for a rise, and
while 1t may be limited to a point or
