The local stock market has been more
active and interesting recently, with more
business, than during the entire summer
months, probably. Yesterdays transac-
tons included good amounts of Mergen-
thaler, Capital Traction, and Lanston, the
most active securities, and lesser dealings
in West End Bank, Washington Gas, and
American Graphophone preferred Prices
were steady. with an advance in Mergen-
thaler and a sale of a round lot of Gas
at 81. Some selling of Mergenthaler, in
sympathy with the New York market, has
been noticeable this week, but concession
of point or more in price has resulted in
good buying orders appearing.

Much the best and most promising day
the stock market has seen in two weeks
or more was developed yesterday by tre-
mendous buying Of Brooklyn for impor-
tant interests, with a late sharp easing I'D
of money rates. At the opening the buy
ing of the transit stock began In much the
same manner as had characterized its alb
sorption on Wednesday afternoon. The
entire list was also advanced from a good
opening during the morning hours. Later
in the day interest centred more and
more on Brooklyn, and it became evident
that some very important development was
going on in the stock, rumor crediting
the Whitney interests and the Morgan
brokers with deal to obtain control of
the system. Money went off during the
afternoon to 8 per cent and few loans at
least were made at 2 per cent near the
close. Prices during the last hour were
the highest of the day, though there was
some falling off before the last sales 1t
seems highly probable now that today will
open with good market and further ad-
vances in prices, and the hope is expressed
by many conservative brokers that the
last two days OF the week win be strong,
owing TO the expectation of a good bank
statement and the probability that money
viii rule fairly easy.

The Brooklyn Rapid Transit situation
is enc Of great interest and Importance
The fact seems to be that during the past
three days the control of the stock has
passed into new hands. If the Flower CO.
terie was In control before il seems likely
that this is no longer the case. Brokers
acting for the Whitney crowd and for
Morgan have bought hundreds OF thou
sands of shares. TX Is 10 be presumed
that they have been acting together with
the definite object in view of getting this
control. The stock opened at So 1-2 and
went as high as IS l-2, thirteen points
above the low level of the week The
close was at 81 3-s. Metropolitan went as
high as 1ss, and Manhattan as high as
II0 is. The very large probability is that
Brooklyn viii sell higher. but this fact
does not make 1t any less true that the
stock is not q good one to speculate in.

gust. Net earnings of S16S,00o and a sur
plus Of s121,0 were made for the month.
but the talk of friends of the company re-
garding the earnings had prepared the
street for much better showing than this
surplus equal to nearly $1,500,000 year
is certainly a very fair one. however, for
company with only s21.000000 capital.
The opening Of the steel mill OF the com
pany in the near future viii undoubtedly
add to its net earning capacity, and ii is
understood also that the prices obtained
during August for iron were not nearly as
large as the schedule rates owing to the
necessity of filling old contracts. Colorado
Fuel and Iron was fairly strong and there
was some good buying of the stock.

Pacific Mail, which was one of the ia
vorites of the public for many months, has
been gradually sagging off in price for the
past few weeks, until during the break it
touched as low price as SO 3-4 Yester-
day it opened at 40 and closed at SO rs,
with no particular support, and continued
small liquidation by tired holders. 1t is
probable that these last sellers are getting
out Of the stock at very near. il not quite,
bottom prices. The earnings of the COM
pany this year have not compared favor
ably with those of last year, but the rea-
son is so plain that it should not be given
much weight. AS a matter of fact, this
years showing is excellent, when compared
with previous years, in which there were
no Spanish war and no fat contracts with
the Government The outlook for con-
stantly-increasing business for the COM
pany now, through Americas developing
commerce in the Pacific, is brilliant, and
if, as seems nearly certain, the subsidy
bill is passed, there can be no question as
TO immense profits for the company. There
is, perhaps a possibility that the dividend
VIII be passed on the stock at the next
dividend period. This possibility furnishes
the only reason for being bearish on the
stock in speculative way, and it does not
furnish any reason to sell stock bought for
investment.

A Sad Taking Away

There was lack of merriment on the
Fairgrounds of the Central School
building yesterday. The little ones
were gathered into groups, from which
a frequent sob was audible. A favorite
had been taken away to return no

call for the last time. She was dead.
Her name was Leslie YeriLgton, who
but a few short days ago was among
her classmates beloved and respected.
She was only ten years old, but by
her kindness and sweetness had made
friends innumerable among the little
ones, and many in the older ranks.
She has left this earth forever, but in
the hearts of her schoolmates the fire
OF memory will burn Away.
Deceased was the Oldest daughter oil
MIR. and Mrs. E. B. 1erington, who
are heart-brOken over the sad taking
away. La their bereavement they
have the sympathy of the entire com,
munity.
Her classmates have sent for floral
pieces, which they will place on the
grave Of allowed one. They will attend
the funeral in q body.

State Prison at hard labor.
The court room was crowded and be-
fore passing sentence Judge Mack gave
the young man a good lecture, which
should make a lasting impression on
the young man.
Attorney Dupuis made a strong Plea
for time in which he could file a bill of
exceptions pending a new trial.
The Judge overruled the plea and
passed sentence. There is much sym

Yesterday Warden Henderson Of tn

Prison i'll pace Of George Humphreys,
deceased.
He stated to the Board that his
rea ons for the appointment of Mr.,
Gregevich was that since the escape
of Crowley, the inmates of the insti-
tuition had been veIy restless and that
he disliked very much to place a new
man in the Commissa1y department
who did not know every man in the
Prison one who would be unable to note
the absence of any particular man
from a given place at a given time.
Mr.. Gregovich has been a very eff
tlclent guard, and was thoroughly
familiar with all the inside workings
of the place.
Mr.. Gregovich assumed control of
the duties of his office last evening.
1t is not stated who will take the
place left vacant by his promotion.
Th. appointment is considered a very
! good and or the best interests OF
the institution. OF all the institutions
of State, more harm could come t.

than 10 any other State institution.
