The earnings of the Manhattan Ele-

compared with last year. and the out
look now is that the company will earn
10 per cent this fiscal year. making a
handsome surplus to go to the lessees.
who have put up $4,000 600 to secure
the Manhattan's lease rental. Manhat-
tan is steadily going into the tin
boxes of investors, and the number of
investing stockholders shows an in
crease OF 444 in the last three months,
and they represent a total of $4,000
shares purchased and laid away. In the
last forty days nearly 200 stockholders
have been added to the list.
Wall Street is of the belief that ne
gotiations are under way between the
Sheldon reorganization committee OF
the United States Shipbuilding Company
and the protective committee, to which
Samuel Untermeyer is counsel, which

the Sheldon committee holds approx
mately $1,000 OO0 of the first mortgage
bonds, which leaves about 81 800, 600
outstanding The reorganization plan
cannot be put through without a great
deal of trouble without the consent of
this committee. A purchase by the
Sheldon committee of the bonds of the
opposition would undo the tangle, and
it is believed that this will be effected.
There is good authority for the state
ment that a block of about 10000
shares of St. Paul common stock was
delivered to one member of the Stan
dard Oil party within the last few days
That other blocks went to kindred in
terests is considered likely, and is not
| inconsistent with the character of the
buying. The purchase of 10000 shares
by one in position to be acquainted not
only with St. Paul affairs. but with the
general financial and business outlook
cannot be regarded otherwise than as
an encouraging Indication.

It is generally admitted in Wall Street
that while an active upward movement
may not develop at once, the low prices
of the year were recorded in last week
market. substantial rally has already
taken place. but the Improvement IN
prices has not been followed by an active
demand for public account. The prin-
cipal buying has been for covering pUr-
poses and for genuine investment inter
ests. 1t requires something more than
investment buying to bring about bull
movement In securities. At the moment
the public shows no disposition to enter
actively into speculation, and following
precedents, this element will doubtless
not come into the market until prices
are well above the current quotation
level.

SHOW FOR THE OWL SERVICE BILL
senate's Action Inspires the FrIends of the
Measure with Hope.


Measure with Hope.
Springfield. Ills, April Is. The
coming of prominent Chicago people
who are interested in traction legisla-
ton will revive the agitation over the
civil service dill. That measure is now
In the senate BY the action of the
civil service committee of that body
the bill has been stripped of the house
amendments which were so objection
able to the advocates of civil service
reform. This leaves it substantially
in the condition in which it was sent
to the house by Governor Yates.
The friends of the bill hope to be
able to get it through the senate in
that shape. If they do the house will
then be asked to recede from its
amendments. These who are interest
ed in the measure say that IL the
senate will take this stand there is
good reason to believe the bill viii be-
come a law as originally drafted. They
think the house can be induced to bury
it's amendments If the senate gives it's
sanction to the bill as sent from its
civil service committee.
Those who have been urging the
passage of the civil service bill prac-
tically gave up all hope for the meas
ure after 1t had been amended in the
house. The amendments were OBJ
noxious to them, and they regarded
the bill as having been made worth
less so far as its utility as a civil
service reform measure was concerned.
This feeling prevailed until the bill
was acted upon by the senate civil
service committee. That body's action
in striking out the house amendments
has greatly encouraged the civil serv-
ice people. They are now ready to
make another fight for the bill.

Springfield, Ills, April Is. The
Greater Chicago" joint resolution is
a special order for consideration in
the house on Wednesday. An amend
ment limiting Chicago's representation

make an effort TO have Ii considered ac
once and sent to the order of second
reading without reference to COM
mittee. Under the rules the bill would
go to the committee on municipal cor
porations, and it is understood that
Speaker Miller favors this course.
The followers of ex-Speaker Sher-
man have caucused on the matter and
have agreed to oppose the reference Of
the bill. They insist that the measure
shall be considered by the house sitting
as committee of the whole. 1t is an
nounced from, Chicago that Mayor
Hari ison will come to Springfield at
the head of select committee of fif-
teen TO urge the immediate considera-
ton of the bill. Representatives of n
number of other civic organizations
will also be here in the interest of the
measure. 1t is likely that they will
urge the adoption of the Sherman plan
for the consideration of the bill in or
der to have the matter disposed Of
early.
Indy. who is chairman of the com
mittee of municipal corporations, says
he will neither ask for nor oppose ref
erence of the bill to his committee. To
insist on having the bill sent to his
committee. he says. might be construed
as an effort on his part TO block or i'm
petle- the passage of the measure. On
the other hand, opposition to It's fer
erence would look like an attempt to
shirk responsibility. For these reasons
he will remain silent on the subject,
unless his committee is aSsailed during
the discussion of the matter.

recognition was not given for the pur-
pose of asking to have the local option
bill made Il special order until after
the business of the morning was sub
stantiaIly completed and the house was
ready to adjourn. The point of no
quorum then created no embaTass-
ment We should not have called at
tention to this were it not for the fact
that we were requested Thursday,
when the Point of no quorum could not
have been raised, to defer the matter
until Friday. 1t was not too much to
expect that the matter might have
been brought up during the early part
of Fridays session, when the point of
no quorum would probably not have
been raised. because of fear of de-
stroying a legislative day and blocking
