LOCAL FINANCIAL GOSSIP.

4 reversal in the tendency that has
marked Washington Gas activity for the
last two weeks. nonproduCtiNc activity in
Georgetown Gas. and another uncertain
attempt to got Second National into tho
trading were the features of dull sCs-
sion of the exchange yesterday.
The upward tendency in Washington
Gas. which was in part indicated by FIJI
days session, did not bring about heavy
trading. but the tone was noticcably
stronger, all stock being sold a N during
the call. and a quotation lot after call
bringing an eighth better. Half-humor-
Gus threats promised short duration for
the advance, without bringing about any
panicS.
Quotations were shifted and promising
bids made and withdrawn in Georgetown
Gas, which is controlled BY the Wash
inCton Gas interests, but beyond narrow
ing the distance between the bid and
asked prices that obtained on Friday. the
activity had no effect. At one time. a
series OF offerings and cross offerings
had lowered the asked price from 100 TO
-. with 20 bid but before any "hickerInS
could get under way. the - offering was
withdrawn and the next best price, SO'+'
went down on the board.
Georgetown Gas has not figured IN tn"
trading for some time. and up to yes

to bring about a trade 1t is understood
