Many members OF the exchange would
welcome the addition of good new securi-
ties to those now on the exchange list
3 The suggestion along this line made al
I the annual dinner few weeks ago is re-
ceiving consideration. but no definite plan
has been adopted as yet, and perhaps none
will be, as there are some difficulties in
/ the way. The best idea seems 10 be that
good Southern securities, gas stocks. cleo
trio light stocks. street railway, and manu-
featuring securities, could be admitted 10
the list after proper examination, and that
In this way the exchange would become a
more important body in Washington and
throughout the country as weil-more than
a small local concern, in fact. The imme-
date benefit of this step to the local
brokers in increasing their business can
not be doubted Two new securities will
probably be listed within short time but
they are both local. the stocks of the
Union Trust and Storage Company and OF
the Colonial Fire Insurance Company /;
is also probable that the increase in the
capital stock OF the Potomac Fire Insur-
ance Company TO 81 900. 600 will be made.
The first payment on the subscriptions
. TO the stock OF the Union Trust and
Storage Company have been made during
the past week. Il is stated by officers of
the company that the income of cash has
been entirely satisfactory. though it is
understood that the full 5000, 600 necessary
before business can be begun has not been
received as yet. The officers OF the CO.
lonial Fire Insurance Company named in
the articles OF incorporation and mentioned
in The Times several weeks ago were
elected on Thursday. The company will
not begin business In the District until
the latter part Of February. It is under
stood.

during the week to 200 and better 4 quick

The annual election OF officers Of the
Washington Gas Company will be held in
February. Rumors OF changes to be made
in the present list of officers ave heard,

stock may be more than usually active in
the coming few weeks. Gas vas depressed

cred part of its lost ground. Sales were
made yesterday at 90 "a and "a two hun

The November statement is particularly
interesting on account OF the increase both
in gross earnings and in net while in pre-
vious recent months there had been a
steady decrease. The fine condition OF the
company's business the certainty of a large
increase in the coming months and years,
and the good prospects of the subsidy bill
all make careful market people most OPP
timistic regarding the outlook for the stock.
1t is interesting TO note that while the
earnings of the company for the seven
months are less than during the same pc
Rod last year, they are well in advance of
1897. The immense business during the
war with Spain was abnormal. and the
comparison with 1897 is a much jrster one,
though the bears have carefully refrained
frouppoiuting out this fact

in the London stock market, whether they
are well grounded or not Railways are
earning from TO IS per cent on their Sc

earning from 10 to 30 per cent on their
common stocks, and these stocks are
quoted at from 20 TO so. There il every
reason TO believe that these earnings will
continue during the coming year, and even
be increased in many Instances Many Sc
curities of all kinds are being put on the
dividend list, and others are receiving
larger dividends. Investors arc certain in
time 10 buy these securities and take them
out Of the market. The shrewdest investors

frorppointing out this fact.
The outlook .or the securities of the
steel and iron companies during the COM
ing months is probably the subject Of more
comment and speculation than any other
that interests the stock market. The i'm
meuse earnings OF those companies and
their certainty of an equally handsome
business during the coming year on the one
hand, and the fear OF legislation against
the trusts" on the other, are the two
forces at work. 1t seems certain that the
securities of the group will be active and
interesting at least. The arguments seem
to favor the idea that they will advance in
price materially, although perhaps their
course will be erratic. The immediate out
look for Federal Steel common, Steel and
Wire common, and of other securities
which are 10 receive dividends for the first
time is most rosy. Careful people are OF
the opinion that Federal Steel common in
particular is likely 10 have an advance Of
several points this week If the general
market is buoyant. The meeting of the di
rectors Of the company and the declaration
OF the dividend will take place on Tuesday.
President Gray made positive statement
to this effect on Friday when confronted
with the bear story put out that day that
the declaration of the dividend would be
deferred for month or more. No positive
statement as TO the amount Of the dividend
to be given the stock al this time has been
made as yet h6wever. Il may be Ia or
2 3-4, or 3 per cent One story IL that the
meeting on Tuesday will only declare a
dividend for one quarter and that within a
few days two other meetings will be held,
at each of which another quarterly distri-
button Will be authorized. The object of
such a cumbersome method is not clear.
The grangers and the Pacific securities
have suffered more, proportionately. this
week than other securities. because they
have been sold both by London and Berlin
and by spectators on this side. II is no.
ticeable. however, that the buying of
Northern Pacific common, Union Pacific
common. Rock Island. ST. Paul, and others
of the internationals has been excellent on
the declines.

BUSINESS MEN Comforting
FIFTH ANNUAL BANQUET OF MAN
UFACTURERs' ASSOCIATION.
Committee on International Frefght
and transportation Recommends
Method to Bring the Steamship
Companies to Their Terms.

BOSTON, April "a notable assembly
of business men, representing all branches
Of commercial activity of the United
States and Canada, assembled at fremont
temple today for the opening session OF
the fifth annual convention of the Nation
al Manufat turers' Association. The con-
vention was called to order by W. II.
Lincoln, president of the Boston Chamber
of Commerce.
The report OF Charles A. Schiers showed
collections from all sources of $sS,5ss;
payments, ss5,s77: balances. $50.
The committee on International freight
and transportation presented its report,
which contained this statement:
As the steamship companies or owners
are evidently decided on making united
opposition against all who are seeking
to compel them TO comply with the pres
ent laws, or to assume proper response
bility to the shippers for the safe and
proper carriage of passengers and mer-
chandise, your committee recommends
making an effort to obtain national legis-
latfon. Your committee believes that IL
an act We're passed forbidding any steam
ship line to accept goods for any port to
which they did not run, unless IL shall
agree to accept as full liability for the
goods while on the connecting line as
while on its own, that they would very
quickly meet the situation and contract
as principals from port of shipment TO
final destination"
The committee on parcels post recon-
mended the adoption OF a resolution
adopted by the executive committee at a
meeting IN Philadelphia last December to
the effect that the association favors the
enactment of law by congress providing
for the establishment OF a parcels post
system in the United States similar to the

The testimonials that are published in

of years of suffering from real sickness.
These people describe, in their own lam
guage, the particulars of their Affections,
and of their vain efforts TO obtain relief
from other sources. They tell of the

seientious and Trustworthy people, who. II
fully verify the truth of their published

In all the years since the establishment

physicians have never asked of the intel
ligence of the public but one thing: to
learn the truth from the evidence of real
people right here at home-not imaginary
people far away-who are thoroughly and
permanently cured.
And this proof has been furnished for
the incredulous In the public press, with
names and addresses of cured people, that
they verify. and furnished for intel

auspices of the Sunflower League. a
Democratic organization embracing the
state. Mr.. Bryan attended meeting
OF the club this afternoon, making a short
address. and later delivered an open-air
speech to 1900 people. Tonight he was
the guest of honor at the annual banquet
OF the Sunfiower League.
Mr.. Bryan, In the course of his banquet
speech, said:
The public wonders why have drop
ped the silver question. New measures
are resting upon us, but / shall never
drop the silver question until the little
coterie of English financiers ceases to
meet I'm secret and plan the laws of this
country. The difference between this
campaign and that of 1896 Is that the
matters of trusts and Imperialism have
been injected and that the East has be-
come educated on the silver question.
The East no longer regards Populists as
anarchists. but has come to respect
them"
