General Quietness Prevailing, and
Little News Affecting Values,

Little News Affecting Values.
New YORK, May 1s.-The stock market
continues to be q brokers' market. To-day
adds one more to the long line of dull and
featureless markets. The only points worthy
of note were the breaks in Consolidated
Gas and Louisville and Nashville. The
former has been sold down by single
bioker generally believed for inside ac-
COUNT, and the Immediate reason given is
the inability of the company TO make any
money at the rate recently fixed by the
law. The stock broke to-day:4 per cent,
and closed close 10 the lowest OF the day.
There was heavy selling Of Louisville and
and Nashville, supposed to be for the ac-
count Of gentleman formerly intimate
with the management. There was consid-
cradle business in Oregon Transcontiuental,
which declined ! per cent, but recovered a
fraction toward the close The general mar
kct is quiet, and there is very little new af-
fecting values. There was some activ-
ity in the first hour, during
which prices yielded fractions, but the
trading was without feature until after 10
o'clock, between which time and p. M
occurred the break In Consolidated Gas and
Louisville and Nashville. Trading was
quiet again in the last hour, and prices
showed some little improvement over the
lowest figures Of the day. Opening figures
are generally at or near the highest prices
reached, while the final prices are close to
the lowest OF the day. There are only six
stocks I'm which the transactions aggregated
over 10000 shares, the first five OF which
made up one-half Of the days business.
The market closed dull and steady.

CHEAPER GAS WANTED.

The Senate subcommittee Begins tho
Investigation of the Cost and Material
Used.
A subcommittee Of tho District Senate
committee began the investigation Of the
Washington Gaslight Company In the Dis
trict committee room yesterday morning.
A communication from George A. Nell
benny, president OF the company, was sub.
mitted in reply to four questions pro.
pounded by the subcommittee. 1t says the
company has been making for two years GO
per cent. of all the gas sold from the best
coal that could be procured by the old aud
well.known process OF distllaton OF the
coal in retorts. The other "a per cent. is
made from steam and oil, and is known rs
water gas, made by the Lowe patent pro-
cess. Tho following are the items entering
into the cost Of gas during 1891: Goals and
oil, S2lO,2i0iS; taxes paid, S29,O0l.O3;
wages, 1l7,5g5.i6; salaries, SIS,505.46; re-
pairs and expenses, S60,4S3.S1.
The amount Of gas sold was 413, 1913
cubic feet, which would make the cost OF
gas 81 per 600 feet gross, or OF cents net.
In 1895 the aggregate cost was $410,410.4S,
and the amount OF gas sold was 523, $50, 0lS
cubic feet, and the cost was 01.5 cents per
1000 feet gross, or 40 cents per 900 feet
net. The price charged the United States
and the District for gas used In the street
lamps is 81 .05 per 1000, and to all other
consumers a uniform price is charged OF
$3.50 per 1000 feet net, making the average
price $l.44.
In 1885 the receipts from coke were $780,
3l0.0T; from tar, s., 063 90; from ammoniacal
liquor, 81, s4G27; total, s37,2l9.29.
The capital stock of the company is ST.
100000, OF which $1,500,000 is paid in in
cash. The remaining 100000 was issued
TO the stockholders In 1886, share for share,
more than that amount having been ex-
pended In enlarging the plant. No divl-
dends were paid to stockholders for four
years previously, but the earnings were In
vested In extending the works. The works
have cost the company $2,403, 2iS.05.
This letter was read before the examina-
ton OF witnesses commenced. Senators
Spooner and Blackburn conducted the eX-
animation. In reply to questions Presi-
the Gas Company, denied charges Of oxtor-
ton and Irregularities OF various kinds.
w. G. Dodge, representing the citizens of
Washington, was the next witness. He
made an elaborate statement to show that
gas could and should be supplied in this
city for 81 per 1000 feet, and that the
methods of the Washington Gasllght Com
pany are eXtortionate and dishonest. He
read statements to show that the lower
prices were furnished In many other places.
He said the company's action In compelling
purchasers or lessees of property to pay
the gas bills Of previous tenants In turning
on gas was the subject of general com
plant.
The committee adjourned until Satur-
day, when Mr.. Crutchett will be examined
