Press Financial Writer.


NEW YORK. November 25.-It was
on-again- of -again in today's quiet
stock market as an assortment of ia
vorites stepped forward fractions to a
point or so while other leaders fell
back as much.
Surging dividends and other con-
structive business news attracted buy
ers to selected issues Selling inter-
walls were again attributed to fears Of
further upheavals in Europe. Trans
fers were around 100000 shares.
A pre-holiday atmosphere prevailed
in the board rooms as many traders
adjourned early In preparation for
Thanksgiving.
Offerings were quite large at the
opening. but these dried up after an
initial fash and the ticker tape idled
during the remainder Of the session.
Merchandising shares we're among
the best performers as the public
spending bee appeared to be buzzing
louder than for several years. Rail-
way equipments came to the fore as
the carriers indicated they were COM
ing into the market for sizable or
ders. Several specialties found con.
fident followings.
Westinghouse and Goodyear moved
in among the generous dividend dis
bursers, but the stocks of these COM
panies were Indifferent. International
Silver leaned forward when 81 on
preference-share Arrears was voted.
Others fitting upward included
Montgomery Ward. Sears Roebuck,
Macy, Allied Stores, National Dis
tillers. u S. Rubber. American Ss
Foreign Power, Consolidated Edison,
American Locomotive, Newport Indus
tries, Crown-Zellerbach, N. Y. Dock
preferred, General Realty preferred.
Guantanamo Sugar and Paramount.
U. S. Steel preferred got up about
2 points to new high, but the COM
mon was unable to make headway.
Advance was given a run
for point or so gain. then lost this
later and posted a 2-point decline
when the president of the concern said
liquidating value probably would not
exceed So q share.

NEW HIGH SCORED
BY BANK DEPOSITS
D. c. Institutions Make Gain
of $2O,OOO,0O0 Since
June Call.
RY EDWARD C. STONE.

With only six weeks before the end
of 1895 the Fall bank call usually
issued by the controller Of the cur
rency appears to have gone with
the wind"
Unofficial inquiry among the wash
ington banks today indicated that II
there had been a call, as practically
all bankers expected, the banks IN
the Capital would have been found
literally bulging with deposits.
It was estimated in the financial
district today that aggregate deposits
In the % Washington banks on Octo-
Der 81 reached total in the vicinity
Of 1925 ,000,0
During October depositorS in the
banks here are said to have increased
their deposits slightly over the sum
on hand at the end of October, being
up 81 900 900 or more since that date.
Total bank deposits in Washington
on March 4 of this year were over
$4,000 900. On the last call, dated
June 81, deposits totaled $500, 6,4l3.000.
From today's inquiries it is evident
that deposits are now around $40 0,0OO,-
900 higher than they were back in
June.
Bankers say deposits are now at an
all-time high mark. They are ex-
pected to wind up the year near this
figure. There will be quite tenn
porary reduction in a few days, when
more than $6,O0O,O00 is paid out tc
the membership in the popular
Christmas savings clubs. The remain
ing total, however. will be very i'm
pressive when it is reported at the
end Of the year.
Phones Mirror Trade Rise.
The 10 months reported increases
In the number of telephone calls by
the Chesapeake g. Potomac Telephone
Co. gave an unusually clear picture OF
the business growth scored in the
Capital so far this year. How much
buster Washington telephone lines are
now than year ago is shown by the
daily average originating calls, as
compared with the same months a
