BALTIMORE, April i7.-~The rise In
Washington. Baltimore & Annapolis
Electric Railroad per cent bonds with
transactions on the local exchange III
large volume is causing considerable
comment here. Demand for the bonds
probably based on the belief that they
are worth more as a subsidiary issue ct
the Consolidated Gas. Electric Light d
Power Co, in spite Of the small margin
By which the company has been earning
its interest charges.
Then there is the additional specula-
tive attraction offered by the possibility
that the company may retire the issue
in order to clear the way for segregat-
ing the power and electric railway orep--
critics and selling the latter to railroad
interests A rumor Of this kind floats
around the financial district every time
there is a buying wave In the bonds. AS
the bonds are selling around SO. how
ever, they are still too far below the
cailable price of ITO TO make the rumor
appear sound.
