LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

Trading in the bond list at today's
meeting of the stock exchange was at
about the same level as that of preced-
ing days. with a tendency, however, to-
ward fractional concessions in order to
ge. a market. The trading as usual was
limited.
There was some demand for odd lots of
Capital Traction stock, and a bid of ID
was made. This was a half point less
than the asking price for a quotation
lot. No change was made in the bid and
asking prices. and the same course was
followed in the case of the Washington
railway preferred and common stock.
The only attempt to trade in the latter
securities was bid of So for five shares
of preferred, which was offered at SS1a.
A twenty-five-share lot of Wash
ington Gas stock sold for S6H- The bid
was S6A at the close and the asking price
81.
A couple of odd lots of Lanston sold for
3D. The bid for the stock did not rise
above S9A, with the asking price 81, de-
cline of half a point from yesterdays
asking price. After the call the bid was
30, and the stock was offered half point
better.
One hundred shares of GraphOphone
preferred stock was offered at 81 and
twenty-five at 81, but there was no bid
for either lot.
Two shares of the Graphophone COM
mon stock were for sale at 53. The bid
was ~, which was also the bid for TWEEN
ty-five shares.

ties opened firm and from Y to 1% above

EXPECTS TO TRY AERO-BOAT.
Lieut.. Ellyson Probably Will Make
Flight This Afternoon.

1t is expected that Lieut.. Theodore Ell
Tyson. the first Of the navy aviators. will
make trial flight with the new navy
acrobat at the navy yard this afternoon.
The new flying machine is like conven-
tional biplane, with the body of fast
but very light power boat. 1t is the first
machine of this type ever owned by the
government. It was received late last
week from the Curtiss factory, and has
been assembled at the navy yard. 1t was
ready for q trial flight yesterday, but the
weather was unfavorable and the engine
was merely tried out.
The conditions are better today, and
Lieut.. Ellyson decided he would make a
flight merely to get used to the controls
ON tho new boat.
