FINANCE AND REALTY

Yesterday was almost exclusively
bond day on the local bourse. Only
four stock issues figured at all. and
though there was a good demand for
certain issues a few points kept holders
and bidders apart.
The bond sales were as follows: Gas
IS, 5000 at 1101-S; Traction 5s, 5000 at
ITO 1-4a11O1 Is; Columbia IS, $500 at 101 1-SS
Railway As, $1,000 at IS 3-S; Anacostia and
Potomac IS, $1,000 at 100 1-2.
A report which was given a wide cir
culation to the effect that the gross
earnings of the Washington Railway and
Electric Company for the nine months
just ended showed an Increase of $2'-
900 over like figures for 1910 brought
out fair inquiry for the preferred stock
of the company and some demand for the
common. Amid some confusion offerings
for options on a 200-share block brought
out one bid that was generally under
stood at SO rs and one block of 100 shares
was offered at 80. The sales record, how
ever. showed only twenty-one shares
transferred, SO being the price for
twenty-share lot and a half point higher
being paid for the lone share. The com
mon stock did not figure at all in the
sales. The bid was 80 rs and 1t is under
stood that the stock can be bought at

large eastern colleges who make a
practice of taking their vacation in
this manner.
Mr.. Bennett and Mr.. Muse intend to
be gone from the city about two
months. They go first from Phila-
delphia to Liverpool and from there
TO several points in England, such as
Oxford, Stratford and London. From

when the test comes, instead of up
