THE BUILDING TRADES COUNCIL
\ Proposed Chnngc in the f-..rstitu-
ton Hud Uy-Laws.

There was lively discussion last night
at the meeting of the Building Trades
Council on a proposition to res-,nd the
laws Of that body excluding from mem
bership any organization on account Of its
national afiliation. AS the resolution was
considered 10 be in the nature of an
amendment to the constitution. which re-
quires two weeks notice before being act
ed upon, the final consideration of the
question was postponed until the second
meeting in February,
II was stated by q member of the cOun-
ell that as matter of fact there is no
such law as the one it is suggested TO re-
scind. For some years, however it is said
to have been the uawritten law OF the
council that no labor organization afIil-
lated with the knights of Labor would be
admitted to membership, but this senti-
ment, IL is stated, was never Incorporated
into the constitution or bylaws of the
body
Only one labor organization in the Dis
trict, the Knights Of Labor Assembly of
Painters, whic Improperly belongs to the
building trades, is not affiliated with the
Building Trades Council. II is believed
that 1t was with view of making pro-
vision for the membership of this organi-
cation that the resolution to change the
laws Of the council was proposed

the net gain for the day being 3 3-S points.
The directors OF the company at their an
nual meeting declared a dividend Of :
per cent, payable in quarterly installments,
beginning next April. This rate is per
cent better than was expected by the
street. But even more important is the
fixing Of the dividend for a year in adj
vance II does away with the quarterly
opportunity for the bears to attack the
stock, and gives greater confidence TO the
people that have invested in it.. The re-
port Of the company is all that had been
expected and much more. II shows in
brief that the profits for the calendar
year were s13. 1862, 529, and that after de-
Quoting s1.0000 600 for depreciation of plant,
and 100000 for a bad debt fund. there
remained net profits of s12. 162. 529. Three
quarterly dividends on the preferred stock
have been paid, $4,000 900. leaving appli-
cable TO further dividends SO. 062, 600.
When the last quarterly dividend on the
preferred shall have been paid there will
be remaining $685., 529 This sum is equal
TO the coming years dividends on both the
preferred and common stocks and S3000.-
600 more, so that il there are no earnings
during the year the dividends would seem
10 be assured. One of the plans discussed
for using a portion of this immense sur
plus is the retirement OF $1,000. 900 of the
preferred stock but it cannot be learned
that there is any official basis for such a
story.

Wire common passed Federal Steel COM
mon yesterday, as was to be expected, per-

however, and made net gain OF two
points. closing at 50 rs. Tennessee Coal
and Iron and Colorado Fuel and Iron were
also strong. and indeed all the steel sec1ri-
ties generally were among the best on the
list. The realization of nearly everything
that has been stated by the bulls regard
ing these companies and their securities.
and the utter failure of the dismal predc-
tons made by the bears are likely to 90
long way toward rehabilitating the group
in the minds OF the public. The net earn
lngs Of the Colorado Fuel and Iron m
pany for the month Of December were

Sugar Brooklyn, and American Steel and
Wire common, the three securities in which
there has been the largest short interest,
were the most active and buoyant yester-
day. There has been vicious campaign
against all of these stocks for weeks past,
and the unwary have sold them all heavily.
Talk of 90 for Sugar and of below 40' for
Brooklyn Rapid Transit has been floating
everywhere and has even seemed TO be be-
lieved by many. Only a few days ago, too,
Ii was stated confidently that there would
be no dividend declared on the Wire COM
mon stock and price lower than any yet
reached was predicted. The fine board of
directors. elected by the Brooklyn people
was the first thing 20 open peoples eyes to
the folly of these assertions. The action
of the Wire directors has almost, II not
quite, completed the establishment. The
next news of these securities should be
the regular dividend on Sugar stock. and
it is not in the least unlikely that it will
be declared.

servers as has been stated in this column
frequently. Yesterday the looked for ad-
vance came in a most satisfactory manner
There was a complete reversal OF FORM
apathy giving place TO energy and insig-
nificant fluctuations TO a rapid advance
in prices. The net gains for the day av-
eraged points or more in the active in
dustrials, and in some cases they were
much more. The railway list made an av-
erage net gain OF a point Buying in the
early part of the day was due to the fine
report of the American Steel and Wire
Company and ;he dividend action Of the
directors. The smallness of the decrease
in the net earnings OF the Burlington for
December also had a good effect as predic-
tons had been most pessimistic regarding
it. Both longs" and shorts were buy
ers, but in the afternoon there was some
what Of fright among the shorts which
caused the larger part of the advance in
Sugar. Brooklyn, and other most active Sc
curities. But the short interest is not all
covered yet, by any means. The outlook is
excellent. The market seems TO have cut
loose from the Boer war. and people on
both sides are predicting hopefully that
the struggle in South Africa will have little
further effect either way. Everything else
in the situation is an augury of an early
fine bull movement. As TO the immediate
market. the strong close yesterday and the
character of the buying suggest that the
advance Will be continued. Money con-
tinued easy yesterday, the rate for call
loans being . i-2 per. cent nearly all day.
Several additional statements of earnings
for December were received, all good.
