The Locn1 SECURITY Market.

The business of the local stock exchange
has been active, and prices in nearly ali
cases buoyant. during the past week. There
has been a steady though small increase
in the amount of business done from week
to week during the past month, or since
the autumn activity set in. The record for
the past six days was 5,0S7 shares of d
total value of S241 .G58, which approaches a
thousand shares and $4,000 a day. Prices
in the active issues have had extreme fuc-
'tuations of and points. This record fof-
the week IS particularly good when it is
remembered that in the past few days there
has been floated entirely among Local in
vestors a bond issue of $500. 000, and that
subscriptions TO a new bonding company
10 the extent of something like $750,000
have been made in the past two months
Brokers express confidence that the autumn

local securities. Yesterdays transactions
amounted to more than $50, 600, and more
than 700 shares Of stock.

Stuyyesant Fish, President Of the uIi-
nols Central had several things TO say TO
the Industrial Commission yesterday re
earding the alleged capitalization of
the railways of the country. His testi-
mCny was pertinent. Il is given fully
elsewhere in The Times. but one or two OF
his remarks may be repeated with profit
here. In the years between 1890 and 1888
the mileage OF the railways OF the country
has increased 1906 per cent, while their
capitalization, including both bonds and
stock. has increas d only 14.64 per cent
During the same years IN the United
Kingdom the miles Of railway operated
have increased 10 per cent, and the capi-
taIlzation of the railways has increased
26.41 per cent. The capitalization. in
cluding bonds and stock, Of the American
railways IS sec. 343 per mile. That Of the
British railways is about $4,000 per mile.
These figures Mr.. Fish culled, largely, from
the Interstate Commerce Commission re-
/ porJs and he states that he cannot vouch
/ for their accuracy.

In this connection it may be noted that
the bid and asked prices Of Telephone
stock have been somewhat weaker during
the week. This is attributed by some to
the fact that the new issue of Telephone
Company bonds was not given to the
stockholders at par OF at any price, but to
a syndicate. The value of the bonds and
Of the right to purchase them if it had
been given 10 stockholders, may be seen
from the fact that the entire issue was
readily sold by Mr.. Hibbs, the head of the
syndicate, for 1O5. II cannot be doubted
that Telephone stock would have advanced
instead Of declining if the issue had been
offered TO stockholders. There has been

SCOTTISH RITE MASONS.
Held n Biennial Session Yesterday
in Washington.

Washington, Oct. 16-The supreme coun-
Gil of the Ancient and Accepted Order of
Scottish Rite Masons, Southern jurisdic-
ton, convened here in biennial session to-
day. There was a large attendance, and all
of the active members, save S nator Teller
of Colorado the grand herald were pres
ent.
The council is one of the oldest and
highest Masonic bodies in existence and
embraces consistories in thirty three states
in The South and West. The council elected
the following officers for life to fill Vacan-
cies:
Representative j. D. Richardson of Ten
nessee, lieutenant sovereign grand COM
mander, 10 succeed 0. S. Long of West
Virginia, deceased, whose place Mr.. Rich
ardson has flied by apo ntment ad inter
i'm since 1897; William Frank Pierce of
Oakland, Cab, treasurer general, vice Gill
more Meredith of Maryland, deceased; and
j. S. Taylor of the District of Columbia
assistant secretary general.
The feature of to-day's session was the
delivery of the alIocution by Grand Com
mander Thomas II. Caswell of California
who, reviewing the years work, called at
tention TO the peace and harmony which
prevails in the orders fraternal relations
with all legitimate supreme councils of the
world. lie said that the rte generally
was never in a more prosperous condition
than il is to-day and suggested some plan
for establishing bodies of the rite where
none now exist.
The returns show, he said, only about
l00U0 Perfect Elus in good standing on
the rolls though there are 10000 Master
Masons in good standing with the terri
tory comprising this grand jurisdiction,
$50, 900 Of whom are not Scottish Rite Ma
sons Their accession TO the ranks was
urged. The per cent. of the Scottish Rites
to Master Masons shows the Dakotas fore
most in the list, North Dakota having one
10 every seven and one-third Masters and
South Dakota one 10 every eleven and
one-quarter, while North Carolina with
one to $40, shows the poorest percentage
The grand commander presented the
question whether Porto Rico shall become
a part of the Masonic territory OF the
Southern or the Northern jurisdiction. and
suggested its territory belonged to the

claims. He thought, however, that Porto

There is some local discussion as to
whether Sir Thomas Upton gained any
favor i'm this country with the large Irish
American element by the name which he
bestowed upon his yacht. While the tide
may be pleasing to Irish sentiment, il does
not seem to have gained many strong
hackers among this class so far as Sa-
vannah is concerned. The conspicuous
hackers of the Shamrock for the most part
are the English and Scotch residents and
the few Canadians in the city. together
with a few Americans, who are inclined
40 regard the Shamrock as the best boat
of the two. The Irish for the most part
have their money on the Columbia and
evidently prefer that the American boat
should win Interest having now been
revived in the yacht races. il is likely that
to-days reports will be read with more
zest than were those of yesterday.
