LOCAL SECURITIES.

A Week of Weakness and Light Trading on
the Local Stock Exchange-Gas and
street Railway Shares Furnish the Only
Features.
Transactions on Change during the past
week aggregated only 1, $50 shares of stock;
and to this total Philadelphia Company and
Duouesne traction contributed about ], 400
shares, showing that the market was very
narrow besides being unusually dull The
trading last week covered 4;447 shares
of stock, $1,000 bonds, and $50
worth of scrip, which, compared
with this weeks record, gives
a pretty good idea of the uuietude that
prevailed throughout the week. Outside o {
the Exchange there was admittedly more
business closed MP than on Change, which
covered the street railways, gas shares
Switch and Signal, AirDrake, mining shares
bank stocks and bonds of various de-
scriDtions, but the brokers were unani-
mously OF the opinion that the week was
one o; the dullest since the close of the
midsummer period. The operations on
Change resulted in about the usual num-
Der o. changes, but it is noticeable that the
advances of consequence were in bank
shares and the declines in the gassers and
street railways. The closing bids to-day,
compafed with the closing quotations OF
last week. show the notable changes to be

Our Youngest Bank President,

The election of Mr.. T. Il. Given to the
Presidency Of the Farmers Deposit Ma
tional Bank, which occurred at a special
meeting of the Board OF Directors Friday,
aroused considerable curiosity TO know
whether he was the youngest bank Presi-
dent in PitUsburg or not 1t was generally
conceded that the honor lay between Mr.
Given, Mr.. James ii. Wilcox, President of
the Second National, and Mr.. Charles b.
Mclean, President of the Masonic
An Investigation to-day developed the
TACT that. Mr. Wilcox is entitled
70 the distinction. He 'fessed up to SO years
ol age, Mr.. Mclean to 40, and while Mr.
Given modestlY declined to give his age, his
most intimate friends declared he was
somewhere between 80 and 40, probably
nearer the latter than the former. These
are the three youngest bank presidents of
PittsGurg and Mr.. Wilcox is the youngest
of the three. Il is due to Messrs. Given and
Mclean, however, to say they look younger
than Mr. Wilcox. They are all handsome
energetic, successful bank officials, and the
institutions over which they preside are
among the strongest in the West.

of q more active foreign inquiry for Amer

three leading banking houses of New York
shipped such securities to the amount OF
about 500, 900 by to-day's steamers. Such a
shipment is of course in itself unimportant,
but the inquiry of the week is regarded as
indicating a continued movement that will
have its effect on the exchange market.
