Outlook is For a Broad Public
Market With Bull Enthu-
siasm High.
LONDON CONTINUES TO BUY
Yesterday Found a Wide Opening
For International Securities.
Dividends Declared and
Gossip of the
Street.

The outlook in the stock market at the
beginning of the week is for broad
public market, in which bull enthusiasm
supported by bull mani pulation will run
high.
Il looks as if London will continue to
buy our stocks, and this will make the
usual sentimental impression upon the
community here. 1t is believed how
ever, that the majority of the railroad
shares are selling high enough or too
high and that whatever further progress
they may make toward higher level
will amount to pure imitation.
The market yesterday had wide
opening for the international securities,
and broadened as the day advanced, over
half a million shares being dealt in dur
ing the first two hours-the heaviest
record for long period. There was a
| large accumulation OF orders over Sun
day, and when the market opened, the
buying demand carried some stocks up
point on the first transaction. At the
top, numerous selling orders were met
and the offerings checked the rising
trend, prices. recediag to ! from the
forenoon's highest figures, and the mar
ket became quiet on the decline.
Brokers said larger accumulation of
buying orders over Sunday was more ap-
parent yesterday than for many weeks.
London houses were buyers from the
start, taking upwards OF 5000 shares in
the first hour.
Danville Bessemer stock, which has
been overlooked of late, was taken in
hand yesterday, over 1000 shares being
bought around % in the first hour.
Not since November last has Reading
first preferred touched the figure it COM
manded yesterday.
Houses that are buying Pennsylvania
Railroad stock state that the personnel
of the purchasers for whom they are act.
ing indicates that the demand is not of
the speculative stamp.
''While nearly score of applications
are filed daily at Washington for national
bank, charters, it does not follow that
the number of banks is to be increased
to that extent" said local banker. ga
surprising number of the applicants will
be refused charters for inability to show
clear compliance with the features of
the new law"

TO PROTECT BANKS.
Chairman Brosius Submits Report
Upon the Pending Bill.

Chairman BrOsius submits Report
Upon the Pending Bill.
Washington, March 26-Chairman
Brosius of the house committee on bank
ing and currency has submitted the re-
port OIL the bill to give greater safety to
national banks by restricting the making
of loans and overdrafts to bank officers.
The report in part says:
'This bill proposes the only possible
remedy for an evil of long standing in
our banking system, an evil which is
largely responsible fer the chief blemisli
upon an otherwise most admirable sys-
tenn.
'E'rom the establishment of the ma
tional banking system in 1865 to Oct.
81, 1896, $50 national banks failed. The
failure in the case of 81 of these banks
as reported was caused in part Mt least
by excessive loans to officers and di-
rectors. while 93 of them were wrecked
by the defalcation of officers and fraudu-
lent management. Il total i'll the TWO
classes of 14.i, or about n per cent of
the total.
'"Ehe present comptroller recommends
legislation prohibiting loans to officers
and employees of banks except upon ap-
plication to and approval by the board
of directors. and he adds, Such prohibi-
ton should be made to include directors.
"These recommendations from the
highest official sources leave nothing tc
be said to convince your committee oi
the necessity of the proposed legislation
The chief objection urged to this measure
is that capable men will not serve aS
officers and directors if they are placed
under the restriction which it imposes.
'.In answer to this suggestion 1t ma!
be said that if Il man wishes to become
an officer or director of bank for tho
purpose of becoming borrower hi
would not be the most suitable persol
to become trustee of the stockholders
and depositors of the institutions.
