FINANCE AND TRADE
No Important Changes in
Wall Street Today.
DIVERGENT MOVEMENT
GENERAL MARKET AT A STAND
STILL UNTIL NOON HOUR.
Dealings All Day Were on q Very
Small Scale and Excitement
Entirely Absent.

NEW YORK. June 26.-Prices showed no
important changes from last nights level.
the few railroad stocks dealt in as a rule
hardened a shade, and there were slight
declines in some Of the iron and steel
stocks. Dealings were on very small
scale.
There was some confusion in the price
fluctuations of kindred stocks, more es-
pecially those having to do with the iron
and steel trade. For instance, Colorado
Fuel declined 2A, while Car gained rs. and
the United States Steel stocks were also
slightly better. The same divergent movei
ments were noted in the coal and transcon-
tinental groups, but the fluctuations did
not exceed small fractions. United States
Cast Iron Pipe preferred sold at a decline
of AZ. Minneapolis, st. Paul and Sault Ste.
Marie advanced point.
Pennsylvania sold at 123. The general
market practically stood still until near
noon, when active stocks hardened frac-
ton. Lake Erie and Western, Hooking
Valley preferred and Consolidated Gas ad-
preferred lost 2. Bonds were easier at
noon.
Colorado Fuel. after being neglected on
the decline steadily came into demand and
rallied 1&. At other points price movements
were imperceptible. United State Shipbuild-
ing sinking fund SIS sold at "a, compared
with 40. the preceding sale on June 1.
The trading element showed no tnclina-
ton to operate in the absence of any inf-
tiative. and the market was practically
stagnant. Some few stocks were easier,
but not enough to induce a concerted move
ment. National Railroad of Mexico pre-
ferred advanced LIS. North American de-
clined point.

"UNCLE RUssELL's~ HEART
Nearly Stopped Beating by Suggestion
of SO Fee,

A dispatch to the Baltimore Sun from
New York says: A director Of the Mime
sofa Land Company, which is controlled
by Russell Sage. gave a humorous version
OF it's proceedings today. Owing to the
prevailing dizziness in Wall street, Mr..
Sage's brother-in-law, Colonel Slocum.
suggested that the board meet to dispose
Of an $4,000 surplus.
Mr.. Sage Is chairman Of the board and
his clerks, stenographer and office boy are
the other members. On motion of Colonel
Slocum seconded by the Office boy, a dlvi-
dend of ~ per cent was declared.
ANY further business?" inquired the mil
lionaire chairman.
Colonel Slocum, addressing the chairman,
spoke in a hesitating manner, while Mr..
Sage smiled pleasantly. Colonel Slocum
spoke of the fact that when a board met it
was customary for them to receive $40
each, and moved that this be declared.
The smile on Mr.. Sage's face was not
one that would not come off. 1t disap-
peared slowly, the lines about the mouth,
that is a perfect one in expressing deter
mination. grew deeper, and the eyes. that
are set Deep closed a little tighter and
there was a slight knitting of the brow
as he snapped:
whats that?"
Having recovered himself. Colonel Slo-
cum moved for the $40 that should go to
each director, and emphasized 1t by saying:
''Ten dollars in gold.
The office boys face was a study. For
minute he saw visions of wealth with the
dividend and the $40, but his dream came
to an end.
"Huh"' said Mr.. Sage. 1.-TWO dollars.
meeting adjourned" and the board Of d.
Iectors faded away again to become en-
ployes of the financier.

LEFT HIS INITIALS THERE.
Stranger Defaces Washington Monu-
ment and Parts With S25.

Three young men from Virginia came to
this city yesterday on sightseeing tour
and during the afternoon they visited the
Washington monument. Before ascending
the shaft they stopped and read the rules
It was easy for them to see that the rules
provide against visitors defacing any part
OF the monument, but one of the trio either
forgot the provisions or was willing to pay
for the privilege of leaving his initials on
some part of the structure. 20. P. IT,
were scratched with the ferrule of the
young mans umbrella, and he had started
away satisfied, when Waterman Evans
called upon him for an explanation.
The explanation made by the stranger
did not satisfy the Waterman, and he was
required to accompany the officer to the
first precinct station. Oliver P. Towles
was the name the young man gave and a
charge Of defacing public property was
preferred against him. He was required to
leave $50 collateral to insure his attendance
In court this morning. A trial was what
he desired to avoid. and this was accom-
plfshed by his permitting the District to
keep his cash.

SETTLED OUT OF COURT.
Amicable Adjustment Of Differences
Between Recent Combatants.


There was an amicable settlement this
morning Of the case involving mistaken
identity, which developed yesterday in the
trial before Judge Scott Of the Police Court.
in connection with the assault which was
committed on James H. Taliaferro the sth
of this month at the corner of 18th and
streets northwest.
While Francis Petrola was on trial yes
terday, charged with the assault, the de-
Tense put on the stand Ernest Bregaxzi.
who testified that he had made the assault
on Taliaferro for which Petrola was being
tried The jury, under instructions from
the court, then returned a verdict OF not
guilty In the case of Mr.. Petrola.
Following the close of the trial Mr.. Talfa-
ferro had a warrant sworn out for the ar
rest of Mr.. Bregazzt, charging him with
the assault to which he had confessed on
the stand as witness for Petrola. Talia-
ferro and Bregazzi, together with several
friends. met this morning, however. in a
room at the Police Court building, and a
discussion of the affair was begun, with the
idea Of settling the difficulty out of court.
The conversation between the two princ1-
pals was about as follows:
Mr.. Bregazzi, will you take back what
you said on the stand yesterday, that
backed away and wouldn't stand up and
take my medicine like man?"
NO" said Bregazzi, for I was under
oath. and won't take back what / said
under oath"
well, them" said Mr.. Taliaferro, will
you admit that laid you out for ten min
utes in the mix-up at Chesapeake Beach2'
why, yes" answered Bregazzi. You
certainly laid me out down there, all
right"
You fellows are about even. aren't you, "
suggested a friend. You ought to let it go
at that and call it quits
After some further good-natured badi-
mage the principals decided that they were
about even, and finally shook hands, and
the whole crowd went out in a good humor
to get soda water

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The transactions on the stock exchange
today were not numerous. as neither buy
ers nor sellers were in evidence. Five shares
of the stock of the Union Trust and Stor-
age Co. were sold at 1861, while five shares
of Lanston brought on and five went for
9h A bid of 1873 was made for the stock
of the Home Savings Bank. which made
the first record for that stock, as it has
Just been listed.
The work of removing the old Riggs
Bank building Is to begin about the middle
Of August, preparatory to the erection Of
the proposed banking house.
Mr.. Charles P williams. who was
member Of the brokerage firm of Bloomer.
Ffoulke & Co.. that recently dissolved. in
tends to leave the city the early part Of
July for a long period of vacation. He
intends to enter active business again in
the fall
Mr.. Charles C. Glover has returned from
New York, where he saw his family on
board a steamer bound for Europe. He
has planned to go abroad in August.
1t is the intention of the International
Banking Corporation of New York city,
which has leased the old West End Bank
building on G street. where a branch is
to be opened to begin at once the work
of making such alterations in the building
as will be needed to suit the new require
ments. A new vault is to be put in and
the partitions in the rear of the bank
ing room are to be removed. 1t is expected
that the building will be ready for its new
occupants by the first of August.
There Is criticism heard in regard to the
policy pursued on the part of some Of tue
local bankers in not anticipating, as 1t
were, the large Withdrawals of cash occa-
stoned by the payment of the District taxes
on realty. It Is asserted that in some cases
the fact that there will be a demand for
money for such purpose is not realized
soon enough. In consequence when the
money goes 1t becomes necessary in some
cases to curtai1 the loans or even to call
in some loans.
It Is argued that II the business OF any
banking institution existed for some
weeks previous to the time fixed by law
when taxes become payable then the cash
on hand would be sufficient to meet this
drain and at the same time supply current
needs.
It Is not claimed that the practice Of ap-
parently waking up in the month Of May
to the knowledge that taxes are due is
general in all local financial institutions.
but 1t Is asserted that there are enough IN
stances to make the results at least annoy
ing to some who have business to do re-
Quirtng cash.
