1t was a case of good undertone and
small losses averaging not more than a
point. on the New York stock market Yes
terday. which. all things considered,
should be a source of satisfaction to hold
ers of securities.
As on yesterday, most of the gossip sent
out over the few private wires working
had to do with the flood and storm ru-
mors, with little actual news of any char
acter to help or hinder market Operations.
There was disposition to await the later
and more calm judgment to the dam
ages through Ohio and other States rather
than to accept the known to be exag-
Gerated reports than have been circulated
during the last few days
The bears. who usually profit by the un-
expected and by disaster. were slow to
press for the advantage. being held in
fair control by the latent strength of the
list, which time and again showed symp-
toms of rallying. and checked bear trad

The net losses on practically the entire
market came within a point, with many

At the immediate opening there was
strength. followed by recessions rally
10 !. point net loss by noon. and the ad
ditional recession in the afternoon. The
stocks of roads and industrial corpora
tions with lines and plants in the flooded
areas held their own with the rest of the
market
The total sales were but 3l5.. shares
and this tells the story of slow. steady

friends might have expected.
Local stocks.
There was a Iet-up in trading activ-
ity on the local exchange. Some holders
of railway common are anxious to liqui-
date. at the higher prices. and the in
side representatives, had no objections
but naturally took holdings at the best
prices. Railway common opened at
90 L., and when it closed for the day
was at 80 IL. although the official clos
ing was given as % 3-4a95 L.
The preferred stock was a little better.
There was none offered for sale under

Pressure on Washington Gas still con-
tinues 1t is having some little effect.
but buying orders develop on every
fractional recession. 1t closed with
after-call sales at "a 5-S. Every one ad-
mits that the company is doing we'll.
but the fact that there is no support,
that the officials themselves have no ap-
parent interest in the market. encour
ages the bears TO test it occasionally.

This distribution should make consid-
