Miss Houston's Success.

Miss Ethel Du Ere Houston, who Is do- ing so much toward giving Birmingham an international reputation as the pro- ducer of magnificent voices. made her first appearance in the Castle Square Op- era Go. in New York last Monday She had the leading contralto role of Azucena, in Il Trovatore. which was the opera pre- sented. Mir. Savage had featured her as one of the operas best attractions. and she fulfilled all expectations. The New York papers speak in most complimentary terms of her work, as will be seen from the following. which was taken from the New York Herald.
 The newcomer-for MT. Savage had announced for the occasion-was Miss Du Ere. who as Azucena, showed herself the possessor of q fresh tcontralto voice of most agreeable quality. and proved to be of decidedly dramatic temperament. The audience plainly said, She will do. :"

A GLUcosE-sTARcH COMBINE.
The New Trust Engineered by Rock
efeIIer Interests.

CHICAGO, June 2O.-Negotiations fol-
the consolidation of the Glucose Sugar
Refining Company and the National
Starch Company have been practically
concluded. with the Charles Pope Glu-
cose Company, of Chicago. on the out
side The Glucose Sugar Refining Com
pany, with headquarters in the Rookery
Building. has absorbed the National
Starch Company and admitted the Stand
ard Oil people. who have been behind the
new plant now being erected at Shady
side, on the Hudson River.
The new combination viii have a cap
ital of $50, 0G0000. The Pope company,
which is ready to compete with the new
combination on both it's products, has
plants at Geneva and East St Louis and
its principal Offices are in Chicago.
The entry of the Standard oil Company
into the glucose starch business, it is said.
was brought about by the method COM
monty used by the Rockefeller people.
Being unable to secure a representative
in the company through the purchase of
stock on the open market, they started
to erect big independent plant on the
Hudson River. This. II is said, was the
cause of the effort by the Matthiesens TO
combine the related interests and inde-
pendent plants. They have succeeded
with everyone but the big Chicago con-
cern, owned and conducted by Charles
Pope and his five sons. Mr.. Pope's sons
announced yesterday that their company
would not go into the combination.

pay higher prices for good securities than
private parties can. 1t occurs frequently
nave seemed absurd to the original hold
ers, For this reason. such investments
when made with discretion are not
considered mistaken. It is thought
possible that these remarks, made in a
somewhat public manner and BY a gen.

superstition that an offer for the Capital
Traction is actually pending. This state
ment was meant simply to suggest that
time.
The Washington Stock Exchange yes
terday decided to take an outing at
Chesapeake Beach on Thursday next. The
meeting of the exchange to consider the
question of the outing was held behind
closed doors, and the people in charge
are desirous that nothing further regard
ing he matter shall leak out. 1t is judged
from this that the affair will be unique
and enjoyable at least if not actually ex-
citing. The party will leave Washington
at $780, Immediately after the close of
the days call of the exchange.
The last outing of the board was held
last year near Baltimore. and 1t took the
form of a ball game with the Baltimore
Exchange. The Washington contingent
was badly beaten. despite the roofing of
bank presidents and other important peo-
pie.
Business on the local exchange yester-
day was dull A small lot of Real Estate
Title Insurance stock sold for 80, the price
being an Improvement, evidently due to
the prospects for the merger of the va
rious companies in the near future. Mer-
genthaler sold for 1861 and 1855, no
change showing in the price from the
day before. There was a considerable
demand for Lanston. and after 500 shares
has been bought for 1915 a lot of 100 shares
was taken at 1874 The hints that the
stock is being held down in order that
the floating supply may be gathered in
by people desirous of acquiring inter
est in the company, are still heard. A
small lot of Capital Traction was sold at
l025s. The best bid for n round lot was
1022s, and it was offered at 1921.
The statement is made that the insur-
ance situation in the District is in much
better shape. The Board of Underwriters
has been making a strong effort recently
to induce the few outsiders to join the
board, and it has been successful proba-
bly, even beyond expectations. 1t is said
that not more than one or two companies
doing business in the District will be out
side the board in the future The number
may be reduced to one company which
is a concern that makes it a rule not to
join the insurance boards in any part of
the country. The membership has never
been nearly so complete at any time in
the past The success of the movement
is generally credited to the excellent re-
salts that have followed the installation
of the new board plan during the past
year. Contract Manager Hamiltons work
is said to meet with the general commsn-
dation of insurance people.

The market outlook is not an encourag-

has dropped off almost to the midsummer
level already, and by July, with many
more people out of town, it is not likely
that there can be much activity or much
incentive for the insiders to attempt to
float their securities. A professional mar
ket is all that should be looked for. Some
thing else may develop, of course but
