The FINANCIAL NEWS.

Five and one-half per cent. for money Is
the local ruling rate.
There is no material change In the stock
list to-day. Fewer stocks are offered and
some of them at lower prices.
Among them are Narragansett Electric
offered at 73. There have been some
private offers of this stock at shade
lower than this price, but there are few
takers. Those who lack confidence and
wish TO sell find few anxious TO buy, and
those who expect 20 buy are waiting for
lower figures, which they hope TO secure.
IL is probable that when the first excite
ment is over American Screw stock will
have slight reaction. That is the nat
ural result of the situation. But it,
should eventually reach much higher
figures than are now quoted.

PRIMARY ELECTIONS.

Points Suggested by a Democratic
Call In Anne Arundel.
From the Baltimore sun.
The State central committee OF
Anne Arundel county embody in
the call for the democratic primary
meetings the following :
s'The right of individual voters to par.
ticipate In said primary meetings will he
determined by the officer of the respec-
tive voting precincts.
The question thus raised is one
OF the most troublesome and diff
cult with which party organiza-
ton has to deal. The right to vote
in a party primary must be decided
by some authority, and this author
ity has usually been the officers of
the election. Under the new law
regulating primary elections in Bal.
timore city, the judges of election
must determine the right to vote,
aud can administer an oath to tle
person pr, senting himself in ord r
70 ascertain his right, but the decis-
ion of the judges is given at their
peril. Says the law
III any Judge or other officer Of pri-
mary election shall knowingly and frau
aulentlY receive vote from any person
not entitled to vote at such primary
election. or knowingly and fraudently
refuse TO receive the vote of any person
entitled to vote at such primary election.
shall, on conviction thereof.
be deemed guilty Of = misdemeanor, and
be punished by a fine OF not more than
$500 or by Imprisonment in jail for not
more than six months. or by both such
fne and Imprisonment in the discretion
OF the court
The penalty for fraudulently vo-
ting or attempting to vote at pri-
mary is similar to that provided for
like ofFense in a general election.
The act does not prescribe the quail
iiications Of . voter, but seems to
leave that subject to the rules and
regulations, customs aud party
usages OF the political party holding
such primary elections not inconsis-
tent with the provisions Of the act.
This would be to leave the qaalifi-
cations OF voters still an open ques-
ton for discussion. The difficulty
Of prescribing arbitrary and /. lexi-
bic rules is manifest.
The best method Of arriving IL :
just conclusion is to establish rule
that d n 'crats shall vote It demo-
cratic primaries and repnb ic ms It
republican primaries. II the OH
