MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL.

Monetary and commercial affairs have been
quiet during the week The prices of grain
have s,mewhat stilcned, but the advance has
been slight. In New York yesterday money
on call was easy at 1 per cent. last loan at /
and closing offered at per cent. Prime MGR
camille 4a4l per cent. In Baltimore money
was easy at The banks aud in the open mar
ket, and the demand for accommodation was
mainly to supply regular business require
ments. The leaning rates were around 4 to
5 per CO Mt, with bank discounts quotable ut
the usual 6 per cent. Local shares are quiet,
with but little doing. The action Of the Yir-
gina Senate in supporting a measure for the
Investment of surplus money of the States sc.
curitics occasioned the activity in them. The
Century issue sold up to 56i, and the new Is
were wanted at 70l at the close.
NEW YORK, Feb 2.-Sellcrs of American
Wilson bill would bring about break in the
stock were disappointed this morning. 1t is
true the price did sell at rs for moment
right at the opening, but subsequently there
was steady advance to 784. against 77l.i at
the close yesterday. The fact that subscrip-
tons to the new government loans fell below
the sixty million mark was dsappoint-
ment to the bulls on the general market and
they were chary of increasing their contracts
on the long side At i o'clock the market
was irregular.

THE EXTENSION TO WASHINGTON
As may be expected, The decision of
fbe Commissioners of the District of
columbia yesterday to allow the Wash
ington, Alexandria and Mount Vernon
Railroad Company to extend its tracks
into Washington city was received
with much qualification in this city, it
being generally agreed that quick and
frequent communication between the
two cities will be great impetus to
the growth and prosperity of AleXau-
dria. 1t cannot at present be stated
with certainty when the work of con-
s.ructngthc road from theFayette street
depot to Washington will be begun,
but this much is certain, that the COM
pany having secured the right of way
will proceed to work as soon as practi-
cable. At any rate, what has been fore
told IAN electric railroad between Alex
audria and Washington may now be
regarded as an assured fact, and it
may be safely said that it will not be
long before the hum of electricity and
the gong of cars will be heard in Alex
audria county as we'll as in Alexandria
city. Messrs Holden and Swartz, the
officers of the road here, as well as the
employees, were naturally as much
elated as any one else when the news
reached this. city of the action of the
District commissioners, and to-day
i,y we're the recipients of many con-
artulal;ons. The commissioners, in
,hcir report to the District committee
o. the House of Representatives, say
they see no objection to the company's
use OF the overhead trolley Cor a short
distance at or near the ferry landing,
where the company will cross the
river temporarily by ferry, landing on
The Washington side on The reclaimed
Potomac flats, which grounds are di-
rec,.v in charge of the War Depart
meni. 4 separate bill will be intro
duced when the company is prepared
reconstruct the bridge. From point on
the river bank on the District side ofthe
river near the intersection OF Twenty
third street and New York avenue
northwest, the company wants TO lay
It's tracks along New York avenue TO
c street, along G street 10 Virginia
avenue, along Virginia avenue TO Il
street, along b street to Fourteenth
street west The company would take
another route beginning at the inter
section of upper Water and Twenty
third street northwest, along the first
named street to B street, along B street
to Fourteenth. In prolongation Of
either Of these routes, from the intersec-
ton of b and Fourteenth streets, the
company desire to go along B street to
a point between Sixth aud Seventh
street northwest. They would like IL
branch prolongation from B street along
Fourteenth street to Z street, east on
+ street to Thirteenth street, and south
on Thirteenth street to b streets The
commissioners in.their substitute urge
that the portion of B street it is pro-
posed to travel over is natural center
of street car traffic, where a union
street car transfer station should be
provided, room for which can be made
available by the widening of B street
on its south side. They also favor the
branch route as far north of B street as
is practicable without crossing Penn

Tolbert and ]. E. Doyle, who were ar
rested Tuesday afternoon charged with
peddling what is known as "Soapineo
without q license and were brought
into the Police Court and fined So each,
as was stated at the time, declined TO
pay the fines imposed and were held,
and, through their counsel, applied to
Judge Norton, of the Corporation
Court, for writ OF habeas corpus. The
case was heard this afternoon. The
"Soapinen agents were represented by
G. c. Carlin, esq, the city by Corpora
ton Attorney S. c. Brent and the
State by Commonwealth's Attorney
Leonard Marbury The law which it
was claimed by the city these parties
violated is the section of the revenue
bill which provides that peddlers shall
p y license tax of $40 After hearing
arguments from Messrs. Carlin and
Brent, Judge Norton said it was his
impression that the parties held were
liable to peddler's license, but that he
would not enter formal opinion at
this time. An appeal was noted.

RYAN'S FROTH.

Anarchist Message From Debs.
New YORK. July 9.-John Ryan, who
comes here as the representative of Pres
ident Debs, was at the Continental hotel
today. 1.-The strike" said Mr.. RYAN.
twill not stop here. My errand is to
organize the labor of the East. l am
confident Of succeeding. My work up
to the present time has borne fruit ten
times more than expected it would, |
was cautious at first about approaching
the leaders upon the subject of striking
in sympathy, but my first attempt has
convinced me that there was no ground
for holding back. l was somewhat
surprised to ascertain that the feeling
here to strike was pretty warm. l
go to Boston on the next train. l
have everything in the city fixed I'D to
my satisfaction and am in hopes to
meet with the same result in Boston. |
will moi say that the la borers in this city
will strike out of sympathy for the men
in Chicago. but will say that they are
liable, which amounts to the same
thing. In event or the strike reaching
Buffalo. which in my mind is sure
thing. it will not stop there. It is part
of my business to ascertain Just how
far it will reach, and from present in
dlcations, L am safe in making the
statement that Portland and all other
New England cities will be made to
feel we are in earnest. Ii the trouble
continues five days longer all Eastern
roads will be tied up. All wires are
eady. and when Debs sees fit he will
pull them. Then look out for sQually
times till Pullman gives in."

NOT A WHEEL TURNED.
Strikers Threaten Guerrilla War
fare Upon the United States

SAN FRANCISCO. July 7.-The
twelfth day of the great strike on the
Southern Pacific closed without a wheel
turning in Northern California. At
Sacramento. Oakland, San Jose and
this point the situation is unchanged.
The Southern Pacific managers are
utterly helpless, and appear to make no
effort to resume traffic. Tonight there
is an added excitement, however,
caused by the news that United States
marines from Mare island and
regular troops have been or
dered TO Oakland to begin the
fight that the Southern Pacific managers
have been so long waiting for the gov
ernment to make. Leaders of the strik-
ers in Oakland say there will be no or
ganlZed resistance to the troops, but
they openly declare the strikers have
resolved to conduct guerrilla warfare.
Every one knows what this means, and
many citizens are fearful of the events
of tomorrow. Gov. Markham has been
warned of the approaching danger, and
is hurrying from Los Angeles to the
state capital. The fact that the authori-
ties have decided to begin operations
against the strikers at Oakland and not
at Sacramento, where the men have al
ready been angered and provoked to the
point OF arming themselves with rifles.
is significant. In Southern California
the railroads seem to have all broken
the blockade.

RESULT AT.TOLEDO.
Malicious Endeavors to Waste an

Malicious Endeavors to Waste and
Destroy Property and Business.
TOLEDO, o., July 9.-While the lead
ers of the A. K. U. claim that they feel
encouraged with the result of the first
day of the strike, the movement has
been entirely unlike what was expected
by the mass of the people. The princi-
pal point is the air line junction of the
Lake Shore, where nearly 600 men quit
work this morning, and where over 700
cars of freight are standing on the track.
Supt. johnson and his assistants did
most of the switching, and managed
TO- get out freight at 4:15
this afternoon. The regular con.
ductor took out the train. but
considerable difficulty was encountered
in finding brakemen. Coupling pins
were pulled by strikers, and one of
them, John Calawber, has the distinc-
tiOn of being the first man arrested on
account of the strike. Six trains of stock
and perishable freight passed through
later this afternoon, but the company
will not attempt to move trains tonight.
Passenger trains are not interfered
with.
The Wheeling & Lake Erie. Ohio
Central and Ann Arbor are all tied M
tight. In the Pennsylvania yards the
men were working today. but it is likely
they will not go OH in the morning. as it
was after O'Clock before they could be
persuaded to take out their engines this
morning. The brotherhood engineers
and tirenen, who have thus far refused
to go out in body, will determine their
course at meeting TO be held tonight.
