William Brasnehan. forty-one years
old. was arrested Tuesday night by Bicy-
Gle Policeman McGin Grove, and locked
up AT the Seventh precinct station on

west corner OF Thirty fourth and T
Streets northwest. Mr.. SpaIding stated
that Brasnehan came into his store about
O'Clock in the afternoon and took
half dozen bottles of catsup. valued at
% cents.
Brasnehan did not deny Spalding's
statement, but said that he took the
catsup TO sober ~ on. He drank the
stun which had tendency TO cause
MN to become loud and boisterous.
Several of Brasnehan's friends chip

ANCE AND COMMERCE.
CURRENT NEWS AND GOSSIP
OF INTEREST TO INVESTORS

For the time being sentiment on the
New York Stock Exchange is bearish,
but there is no leader of any prominence
either on the bull or the bear side. The
fluctuations of the market are entirely
the result of professional operations,
with the exception of now and then
some selling by the public of stocks
which have been selected especially for
attack. Mexican National continues to
be absorbed by a prominent banking
house, and the excellent earnings of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad have at
tracted some outside buying.
The London market is dull anG rather
heavy, with general disappointment at
the failure of the Bank of England to
reduce its minimum rate of discount to
per cent. Consols are u lower, and
the market for American stocks shows
Is to Il decline. Foreign houses report
no speculative feeling, with money
rates still unchanged
The subtreasury statement shows the
subtreasury took from the banks yes
terday 81, 131 900, which makes the total
loss the banks have sustained in cash
from this source 1854 900. Most of this
loss comes from enormous payments of
customs duties on recent heavy imports
of general merchandise
According to Pittsburg dispatc
there has been no cut in the price of
steel billets, while the demand has never
been better. The reduction in prices in
some lines in the iron and steel indus
try cannot be twisted into a bear argu-
ment on stocks. inasmuch as the decline
still leaves prices above last years level
and encourages a cessation of the heavy
import demand and increases the home
and foreign inquiries from consumers.
In the most trustworthy circles of in
formation no confidence is placed in the
reports heard in some quarters that the
iron and steel business is on the down
grade, and If evidence is desired show
ing that the trade is still active it is
only necessary to refer to the net profits
of the United States Steel Corporation
for March, amounting to $4,000, 900. or
S412, 900 more than recently estimated.

Commission houses are bullish over
the outlook for securities values, and
they do not despair of enjoying an ac-
tive demand for stocks from the general
public, despite the apparent unwilling
ness of this element to enter the mar
ket at the present bargain level. II
the stock market had an able bull lead
er, prices might enjoy ten point rally,
and then the public would doubtless. as
usual, begin to buy at the top.
The strength of the exchange market
in the face of Tuesdays e soc, 900
gold shipment, was matter of general
comment yesterday, and the following
explanation was offered by a member
of prominent exchange firm:
The gold was shipped by house which
has peculiar facilities for conducting
the triangular operation, and, so far
as could be learned no bills drawn
against the shipment have appeared on
the market. It is supposed that one
house which had a large remittance to
make on account of the Transvaal loan
took a cable representing the entire
shipment. This would account for the
high price asked for cables on Monday
and Tuesday. and also for the fact that
demand sterling ruled strong today, I'M
affected by the gold export transaction,
and closed with one large house bidding
1906 for demand.
1T is now reported that The shipment
of $500 900 last week was madasfor the
purpose Of breaking the market. AS it is
generally admitted that many bankers
are short of the exchange market below
1880, this explanation seems plausible
The attempt, however, seems TO have
been a failure, as the market is at pres
ent considerably higher than it was
when the shipment was made"
The Westinghouse Electric and Manu-
featuring Company has notified its stock
holders that they will have the privilege
OF subscribing to 81. SOC, 900 par value OF
new stock at $50, which means at the
rate of $50 share, as the shares are of
the par value of only $50. The new issue
is to provide additional working capital
including the greatly increased stock Of
material required for the voIumne of the
company's present and prospective bust
ness and for expenditures involved in ad-
ditions to its works.
