There was some demand for Capitol

bid of 115h the stock was quickly
supplied, and the bidding ceased The
quotations were bettered fractionally.
Washington Gas came back today
into it's leadership. A total of 2l5
shares were traded at from IS to SSA,
the lower figure being the last sale.
The TRANSACTIONS is Gas and Traction
weer all that were made today.
1t was reported at the office of the

meeting of the board Of directors to-
day, that nothing other than routine
busines had been transacted. Whether
o rnot any action was taken looking to-

probably develop on the stock exchange
