FINANCIAL NEWS
TIE LOCAL STOCK MARKET.

Albert p. Miller, Jr., reports that there has
been but little of interest in the local stock
market during the past week. Stocks have
been in fair demand. but at figures too low to
bring out the sellers. The usual July divi-
dends have been declared, with one or two ex-
ceptions, and prices show but few changes
worthy of note. The Bank stock list is weak.
The Insurance stocks are still sought for and
the Illuminating stocks are extremely quiet.
4. }. Knight a. Co. reopened their offices in
tho Banigan building today having entered
into association with Stuart 81 Paddock the
well known Boston and New York brokers.
BY making this change Mr. Knight has
cured one Of the best of houses and the SER
vice that he can now give will be far superior
10 any that could come from n Boston house.
Messrs. Stuart 81 Paddock were the pur-
chasers Of the last 81 ,5OO,OOO of Boston Rapid
Transit bonds which alone is sufficient TO as
sure their reliability.

Court Will Not Restrain
Sale OF Water Works.
The Petition Filed by Thomas
H. Peabody is Denied.
There is Still Another Phase Of Liti-
cation TO BE Setll:d.

The Appellate Court today denied tho
injunction asked for by Thomas III. Pea
body and another TO restrain the Westerly
Water Works from selling Its plant to the
town Of Westerly in accordance with a
vote of the stockholders and has also
dismissed Mr. Peabody's bill of COM
plaint. Tho hearing on the Injunction
was on Saturday last and Mr.. Peabody
claimed that he acted not only in his own
interest but In the best interests of every
stockhoider in the water works company.
The answer of the respondent in the case
alleged that Mr.. Peabody was simply on
gagged in trying TO make tho water com
pany pay more for his stock than the
other stockholders would receive from
the town.
There is still another phase of this
litigation. namely, the case of Peabody
VS.. tho Town Council of Westerly ct ais
in which Mr.. Peabody seeks TO have the
town restrained from purchasing the
water works because the purchase would
not be for the benefit of the whole town,
and the price paid for the plant would
raise the debt of the town beyond what IL
can legally create This case is down TOR
hearing one week from today.
