demand which would have absorbed
considerably more of the stock than

OF 100 shares was on the floor at SSh.
but the buyers were chary of meeting
that figure, the best sale of the day
being one quotation lot of twenty-five

transferred being 215 shares.
Capital Traction was interesting prin-

on the floor, but there was little dispo-
si:ion to go above 115, the price which

brought out a quotation lot OF twenty
five shares instantly. But the bid was
not repeated. and this was the only sale
of the day in Capital Traction.
A meeting Of the directors of the Capt.

fore noon today. but at its conclusion the
only information vouchsafed was that

acted
