LOcaI Securities.

Local securities have been interesting
during the past week and the business of
the Washington Exchange has been large
and important. Prices have had good
advances in many stocks and the general
tendency has been upward everywhere.
The demand for securities of local corpora
tions has never been greater in the history
of the city, and prices have never been as
high as at present.
One of the matters to be taken into con-
sideration by investors in the immediate
future is the effect that the prospective
withdrawal of several stocks hitherto dealt
in will have on other securities. The
Stevens syndicate has bought out the Me
tropolitan and the Columbia railroads, and
it has taken not only a controlling interest
in their stocks, but almost the entire issues
in each case. The situation is almost the
same in U. S. Electric Light And there
is the prospect that the gas company may
also be absorbed by outside capitalists in
the near future. II seems probable that
all of the securities of these companies
will be little dealt In on the exchange in
the future. But in place of the stocks
Washington capitalists will have a large
amount OF ready money to invest when
the Stevens syndicate has paid up. Sew
eral millions of cash will be brought 10 the
city by the syndicate. A careful canvass
of the situation leads TO the belief that a
large part of this cash will be invested in
other local securities. The real estate mar
ket will be benefited and there will be
some buying OF outside securities, and part
of the money will remain idle in the banks
for time, but ultimately local stocks will
benefit perhaps most. This prospective
demand for railroad, bank, insurance, and
other stocks will undoubtedly advance their
prices handsomely during the coming six
months or more.

any price, the lowest offer of stock being at

such a circular has not yet been sent out,

Each of these stocks made new high price
record for this year and for many years.
Southern went TO So, Louisville to SO, and
Norfolk TO So The buying of these stocks
was largely for so-called inside interests,
which have been absorbing them for some
time past quietly, and the indications are
excellent that the advances are not yet
complete. All of these securities have been
entitled to higher levels compared with the
remainder of the market, but all have been

It is stated by people in authoritative po-
sitions that the arrangements of Southern
and Louisville are in consultation, which
viii almost surely result in greater har-
mony between the two roads. Such con-
summation has been devoutly wished for,
and it cannot but result in better earnings
for both. The taking on by the two roads
of the railway properties of the Tennessee
Coal and Iron Company seems part of this
arrangement. The earnings of both Louis
Vile and Southern will show up magnifi-
Gently. 1t is said that the April statement
of Louisville will be the best in the history
of the road, showing something like $500, GOO
net. There is some scoffing at the idea that
the company will increase the dividend in
October to per cent, but people who know
state that the road will be abundantly able
TO do so If it wishes, and conservatively,
too, in accordance with the management S
policy in the past.

The buying of Brooklyn Rapid Transit
yesterday was excellent and although 10
advances over the figures of the early part
of the week were made there was evil
dence that movement is intended by the
leaders within a few days, perhaps to-
morrow. II is believed that Brooklyn is
likely to be made the leader of the ad-
vance in the general market. II today is
warm and sunny in New York the earnings
of the system will be stupendous, which
will be the best kind of bull argument TO
feed TO the public after a sharp advance
has begun. Manhattan will probably be
stronger in sympathy with Brooklyn, but
there are many who do not look 10 see
such a rapid advance in this stock this

earnings of the company cannot be very

Two excellent reasons are assgnable for
the recent rapid advance of Capital Trac-
tion. Nearly 900 shares were sold yester-
day, and the price went up full point, from
81 ga to 92 ga. The earnings of the COM
pany during the past month have been the
largest for the same period ever shown. At
the present time the company is earning
on its capital stock In the neighborhood
of per cent. The stock has been selling
between so and 80. when only 3 per cent
dividend was paid and probably not more
than per cent earned, and this increase
of prosperity and prospective dividends is
entirely natural. This fact alone would
easily account for par for the stock, but

cate wishes to own Capital Fraction, and
that before very long another offer will be

The features of the day were Mergen-

of which were bought heavily and advanced
sharply in price. Mergenthaler was sold
from 1872 to 1874 Ia more than 100 shares
changing hands. 1t is the belief of busi-
ness men who are intimately acquainted
with the affairs of the company that the
stock is to be advanced in a short time TO
higher prices than We're ever reached by
it before. The reasons for this optimism
are ample. AS stated in The. Times few
days ago the officers of the company re-
port great prosperity and largely increas-
ing earnings. Their statements, read at
the meeting of The Washington stockhold-
ers of the company early in the week, were
of the most encouraging nature.

property owner has property right in
the street in the nature of an easement,
and that he may MAINTAIN an action

that right. Judge Person holds that a
municipality is a liable as an individ'
ual in this regard. The opinion also
declares that city by licensing nuis-
ance practically creates the nuisance,
for without the license the wrong
would not be committed. While all
Instructions in streets are not nuis-
