Expectation of River Competi-

The announcement of oPtomac river
competition of strong character for
the Norfolk and Washington Steam
boat Company had the effect today of
softening the quotations of the stock
on the local exchange, though no
transaction result. The bid price was
lowered points to 1872 and the ask
ed, points to zoo.
1t is realized that the through
business which the Norfolk and
Washington Company gets from the
oPtomac and Chesapeake Steamboat
Company will be eliminated and that
there will be two bidders for business
both to Norfolk and New York. New
business to be developed, however.
ought to result in better things for
both lines eventually. it is consid-
cred.
The day on the local exchange was a
duh one, resulting only in 5000 of bonds
