LOCAL FINANcIAL NEWS.

The rather free selling both of the pre-
ferred stock of the Washington Railway
and Electric Company and of the WASH
ington Gas Company, which has been a
feature of the local stock market for the
past day or two. was not continued today
at the session of the stoc kexchange. Yes
terday the stock of the railway company
sold under OF. and for time after the stock
was called today an effort was evidently be-
ing made to find out how much stock there
was left that could be had at 90.
1t turned out there was not great deal.
and after 1t was taken the bid remained
at o. There was stock offered at quar-
ter advance. but that did not increase the
trading. The recovery from yesterdays
figures was slight. but still 1t was looked
upon as turn in the upward direction
An advance was also made In the common
stock as compared with the record OF yes
terday, and while the sales were limited to
three fffty-share lots, the price was 4SA.
The bid advanced to three-eighths and re-
manned there at the close. when the asking
price was 43h.
Gas stock was a great favorite at 81. and
as soon as it was called that was the bid
from all parts of the room and for all
sorts of lots from five to one hundred
shares. 1t was soon found that there was
no stock at that price and the bidding ad-
vanced an eighth of a point at a time until
Co.'s was reached which was the price In
the last transa ction.
The advance over the figures OF yester-
day was just about half point, and some
two hundred and twenty-five shares were
marketed. There was good demand TOR
the stock at and about sixty, although to-
ward the close there was a bid of 60h for
a lot of one or two hundred shares.
Some one hundred and twenty-five shares
of Capital Traction stock were marketed.
and the closing sale was made at 14j1s. AT
one time the selling gave rise to the Inn
preston that quite lot was to be sold, but
that did not materialize. In fractional lots
about twenty shares were disposed OF at
the beginning of the trading at 146 and
1461S. but all subsequent trades were on
lower level.
In fact, sliding scale, ending at 145h.
marked the selling. At the close there was
a slight recovery and the bid was 145S and
the asking price 145a4. Yesterday 1451a was
bid. and the asking price was a point in
advance.
Several hundred shares of Lanston were
dealt in, the uniform price being 1874, with
the exception of the last two lots, for which
an eighth more was-paid The bid at the
close was on this level and the asking price
an eighth in advance.
The changes made in the figures Of the
trust company stocks were of no great sig
nificance, and with the exception of the
sale of five shares of Union Trust Company
stock at 1441s, there was no trading. The
stock was offered for sale at 14415, and the
bid was half a point less, being the same
the closing bid of yesterday. The asking
price yesterday, however, was 147

TO USE LARGER SHIP
TRANSPORTATION OF THE PREsI.
DENT FROM NEW ORLEANS.

The plan of using one of the smaller pro-
tected cruisers of the Tacoma class or the
transportation of the President from New
tically abandoned In favor of the use of
one of the swifter and more pretentious
warshfDs of the armored cruiser class.
There are four of these armored cruisers
in the navy, namely, the Pennsylvania,
West Virginia. Maryland and Colorado
These vessels are the heaviest and fastest
OF their type and are among the latest adj
ditions to the navy.
Each has displacement of IL. TSo tons
and an indicated horsepower of Ss,000
Each has eighteen high power guns in its
main battery, including four S-inch guns,
and each has speed of % knots an hour.
Cause of the Change.
The selection of one of these vessels is
due to the desire of the President to test
the speed of one of Uncle Sans crack war
ships under practical conditions involving
a run of nearly three days.
Although not finally determined, it Is
more than probable that the criser Penn
sylvania, commanded by Capt Thomas c.
be selected for the Presidents practice
cruise. That vessel is now at Newport H.
l., and Is reported to be in complete readi-
ness for sea service
Rear Admiral w. H. Brownson, COM
manding the armored cruiser division of the
North Atlantic fleet, and Captain Mclean
Of the Pennsylvania were at the Navy De-
Gals regarding the possible employment
of that vessel in conveying the President
home from New Orleans upon the close of
hts trip through the south.

Two Ships May Be Used.

In view of the possibility of an accident
to the machinery of the vessel selected in
ploughing through the ocean at her highest
rate of speed 1t is probable that another
vessel of the same high speed capacity may
be detailed to accompany her on the trip
in order to guard against any serious delay
in the Presidents return to the national
capital. Under the present plans the Presi-
dents sea trip will end at Fort Monroe.

ton either on the Mayflower or the Dolphin.

This season two acres of trees, nu-

which 1000 boxes are of the best grade.
The trees are / / years old and were
not irrigated until two years ago.
Mr.. Richar dson is holding these apples,
which are of winter varieties, for bet

a box, which makes the crop worth
$1,000 an acre. AS the most of the
picking was done by members of his
own large family, the net profit is
about $3.50 an acre. One tree of
Virginia Greetings produced 40 boxes
and Baldwin produced % boxes.
Mr.. Richardson has 10 acres in

he sold peaches, pears and berries to

He congratulate ed the south on it's future, and remarked that in few years it would have Penn sylvania's iron and steel industry and the looms of New England would be moved to southern states.
 He maintained that such a step would be best for all that New England and Pennsylvania would find other industries as profitable and that the south would be made even more prosperous than she is now. President Spencers party returns to the east tomorrow.

DEMAND EXCEEDS
 IRON PRODUCTION And Yet Every Available Stack
 is in Operation
SHORTAGE NEXT SPRING
Great Activity In Chicago District, the Local Product Selling at From $1e to $20 for No. 2
 Foundry.

Cleveland, O., November 15.-(Special) The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say: Tn spite of the great activity of blast furnaces in all parts of the coun- try, every available stack being in op- eration, there is strong evidence that the production is not equal to the demand, and that If present prosperity continues. there will be a decided shortage next spring. In some sections, where the product is usually far in excess of the local demand, orders are now being placed for shipments from other centers. For example, meters in the Youngstown district have purchased iron to be shipped a considerable distance and delivered dur ing the first quarter of next year at S17.90 at buyers plants.
 Buffalo interests which have been ship ping to Chicago and other distant points are receiving heavy inquiries, some of which come from Canada. There has been great activity in pig iron in the Chicago district, the local product sell ing at $19 to $20 for No foundry, and southern irons at S1s15 for the same grade.
 Inquiries at Chicago included 17,000 tons of basic at 10000 tons of foundry and sil- very irons, and many demands for smaller lots. The United States Cast Iron Pipe and Foundry company has placed an order for 5000 tons with Buff falo and Virginia furnaces.
 Lake ship yards are inQuiring for from 10000 to 25,000 tons of plates and are un- derstood to be figuring twelve large lake freighters. The American Shipbuild- ing company already has contracts on hand for lake vessels which will keep 1t busy up to June and If contracts are taken for the vessels now under consider aton, the, yards will be kept employed up to the close of navigation next year.
 Rail sales included 25,00O tons each to the Union Pacific and Boston and Maine; 10000 tons to the Pacific and Idaho North ern. 900o tons for the Yosemite Valley, 5000 tons for trolley lines and many small lots ranging from 200O to 40OO tons. These sales following the tremendous orders al- ready placed are noteworthy.
