FINANCE And REALTY

Gas stock crept further up the scale
into the trading yesterday and renewed
activity Of the market was noted. The
high point was reached on a sale Of five
shares at Sc. The stock. however. closed
at IS 3-4. at which price seventy-ffve
shares were sold after the call. Gas,
at the present price, yields an income on
investment therein at the rate Of 6-8
per cent. Figuring on the natural as
sumption that the present dividend rate
will be maintained in tho future this is
not high price for the stock. As point
ed out in The Washington Herald yes
terday. the other investment stocks Of
the local list pay, as a general rule, less
than per cent to the investor.
There was new activity in the bond
market at yesterdays session. Norfolk
and Washington Steamboat IS sold, on
scale down, from 1oe IA to 102 7-s. The
sales totaled $4,000.
Washington Virginia common regained
the fractional loss Of the past three
days, and was rather freely traded in
al the last week price Of IS.
Washington Railway and Electric pre-
ferred came to the front again yesterday,
and was sold rather freely at the con-
slant price of SO for both the large and
the fractional lots.
AS a result Of the coalition of the Com
mercial National with the National City
Bank, Edward Floy Caverly, cashier of
the latter institution, has resigned. He
also leaves the Office Of treasurer Of
the Union Savings Bank. Mr.. Caverly
has been with the National City Bank
since the withdrawal of the firm Of Z.
F. Hutton & Co.. of New York. from
the stock and general brokerage busi-
ness in Washington. more than a year
ago. He has entered the service Of the
District National Bank and will repre-
sent that institution upon the Washing
ton Stock Exchange. Mr.. Caverly bought
his seat on the exchange from the es-
tate Of the late r. II. Lynn. He paid
$4,000. which is The highest figure at
which Stock Exchange seats have sold
since the panic of 1907. Compared with
the high prices paid for seats in the
boom times. $4,000 does not seem such a
high price. It will be remembered that
in the days when the Washington ex-
change furnished the only primary mar
ket for stocks such as Greene Copper.
Greene Gold and Silver. Mitchell Mining.
and the like, seats have been disposed
of TO anxious purchaser at $4,000.
An interesting compilation of the book
values Of the various fire insurance
company stocks listed on the Washing
ton exchange has been compiled by
Eugene z. Thompson. A comparison Of
these values with the prices at which
these stocks are now selling on the ex-
change is interesting. The following
table shows the book value, with the
present bid price in parallel columns.

GOT BURGLAR
IN HIS CELLAR
Woodbridge Police Scarce
When Most Wanted.
specfal to the EVENING VIEWS.

Woodbridge, Oct. "a burglar
was discovered in the cellar of Frank
/. Perry's residence in Railway ave-
nue. last night. He was held at the
point of a revolver until arrested
and this morning was held for the
grand Jury by Justice Dunn.
When Mr.. Perry's hired man went
into the cellar about 10 O'clock to
fix the furnace for the night, he
thought he saw a shadow of q man
behind the chimney. He gave the
alarm and Mr.. Perry ran down cellar
with a gun. He covered the burglar
while the hired nan started to look
for a policeman.
Woodbridge boasts of three cops,
but in spite of the fact that several
neighbors OF Mr.. Perry Joined in the
search, nary a policeman could be
found. AS a last resort Constable
Michael Lewis, who lives in Fulton
street, was aroused and he placed
the burglar under arrest.
When arraigned before Justice.
Dunn this morning the fellow gave
his name as William Simmonson and
said he lived with Joseph Shorro, of
437 Washington street, Perth Ann
boy. This the Justice knew to be
false for he at once recognized the
prisoner as an old offender whose
name is William Shorro. The JUS
tice had dealings with Shorro before.
1t seems that in December, 1908,
Shorro was sentenced to three years
in state prison for a crime commit
ted in Roosevelt. He had just been
released from prison September IL
of this year. Prior to that sentence
he had served time in the Railway
reformatory.
