en- as Weekend Takes
Traders Out of City.

Investment buying continued on the
local exchange, although the orders
did not seem to be as liberal as on
wednesday. 1t is but natural as the
week end draws near that there
should be let-up in business. Many
traders are out of the city, also sew
eral prominent members of the ex-
change. and with a holiday from FRI
day might until Wednesday noon It is
not to be expected that there will be
much doing.
Prices were generally firm and
steady. shade easier on some stocks,
but not material Off on anything. Gas
was not mentioned in the sales record,
but the SSk bid and SSss asked ap-
peared in the quotation record.
Limited sales of Capital Traction
were reported at 1861 @127, lots so
small as to be really no criterion of
general values. Railway and Electric
preferred was steady at $50.
Lanston was active in a modest way
at s41A to a strong closing at s45s.
Bank shares figured In the transac-
tons quite freely. United States Trust
shares sold rather freely at I2z1z to l22.
Union Savings was firm at 24O Dis
trict National shares were easier, two
sales being made at 131%@131h.
