Stock Market Uneve
In Narrow Groove;
Dealings S|acken
By the Associofed Press

NEW YORK, Mar. 7.-Buy1ng
enthusiasm dwindled today as the
stock market settled into a mixed
and narrow price range.
An initial swing to the higher
side faded out in later trading
Prices were held within fractions
in either direction among the
leaders.
The lack of forward momentum
was in sharp contrast to the short
Saturday market when demand
pushed prices upward sharply in
the final hour.
Trading today centered in the
rail group which also showed the
best of the small price increases.
Steels were moderately active with
prices as whole virtually un-
changed.
Oils, metals and airlines were
mostly higher, but chemicals, rub
bers and mail order and retail
shares were lower. Utilities tended
lower, although a number were
unchanged.
Higher were Southern Pacific,
Union Pacific. Southern Railway.
Chesapeake & Ohio, Chrysler,
Gulf Oil, Pan American Airways,
Kennecott, Phelps Dodge, Ameri-
can Can, Owens Illinois, Radio.
American Woolen, Deere, Oliver
Corp, and Douglas Aircraft.
On the downside were Standard
Oil New Jersey. American Air
lines. Youngstown Sheet and Tube,
North American Co.. International
Nickel, Firestone, Montgomery
Ward. Caterpillar Tractor, Dow
Chemical. Du Pont, Air Reduc-
ton, Eastman Kodak. and Inter-
national Paper.
Stocks in the Curb market were
slightly higher including such
active issues as Aluminium Co. of
America, Northeast Airlines, Ma
tional Union Radiator. American
Superpower preferred. Console
dated Mining and Smelling. Elec-
trio Bond and Share, Kaiser Fra
ser and Miller Wohl.
Bonds went ahead with some of
the railroad loans making consid-
crate progress. On the whole, how
ever. trading was slow. In the
over-the-counter market. United
States Government securities were
unchanged and quiet.

Record Sales Boost
Washington Gas Net
During tooth Year
By Edword c. Stone

The Tooth annual report of tht
WASHINGTON Gas Light Co., ou
today, shows new high in 194s
gas sales, net earnings of $1.9;
per share on the common STOCK
against S189 year ago, and the
most rapid growth of any year 1r
the century.
It was the first year in which
straight natural gas has been usec
for full II months, President
Marcy L. Sperry stated. Sales
have improved every year since
1922. While 1948 revenues were
higher than in 1947. the company
was subjected to sharply rising
costs, which held down the margin
of profit.
Expenditures we're the heaviest
on record. chiefly for the construc.
ton of gas mains and connection;
with new homes in the area. The
year was most important flnan-
cially, two issues of common stock
being sold on favorable terms
The increase in capital strength.
ened the financial structure me-
terially.
About 60 per cent of the COM
pany's stock is held by persons OF
institutions in this area and moi
more than per cent of the stocs
is held by any one individual. The
company now has 2,28O employees
Mr.. Sperry said.
Exchange Trading Climbs.
Trading on the Washington
Stock Exchange in February
reached 25.484 shares as compared
with a turnover of 20,246 shares
in January. one of the most active
months on record.
The Exchange lists the transfer
books as closed on National Bank
of Washington stock. pending vote
of the stockholders on March l6
on the proposed merger with the
National Metropolitan.
Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner q
Beane are distributing an inter-
esting review of Peoples Drug
Stores common stock. Indications
are that 1948 earnings were
around 81 a share against S5.l6
year ago,
The annual report of E. D. Mer-
rill, president of the Capital iran
sit Co., noted elsewhere in today S
Star. hints that the recent fare
increase may not be adequate to
meet present financial needs.
Real Estate Bonds Lower.
The real estate bond market
turned downward in February,
but was off only 04 per cent from
January, Amott-Baker reports
show. In January prices were up
2.3 per cent.
