Washington Gas is bringing out all

wiseacres. Yesterdays movement, when
that security again broke into the sales
column to the extent of 325 shares, only
served to widen the differences or
opinion. The security yesterday touched
the lowest point in weeks, selling as low
as 81 5-S after opening at S. IA. Before
the trading ended. however, the stock
recovered somewhat and sold to a close
of 81 rs. Though some of the brokers
express confidence that the renewal in
buying is forerunner of another steady
advance which will result in boosting
the price beyond the 80 3-S mark OF the
last bulge many brokers hold to the
opinion that the stock will go still lower
and that any attempt to buy freely will
knock of several points from the pres
ent price. The first halt in the upward
movement brought liquidation, the sales
indicating a profit-taking desire. Most
of the holders of the stock can realize ID
handsome profit even at the figures
