LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The bill prepared by the controller OF the
currency to bring under the supervision OF
his Office incorporated banks not now sub
ject to such supervision was examined to-
day by those interested In the proposed
change. 1t was readily seen that the scope
OF the proposed bill Ia to confer upon
the Treasury Department the right OF ex-
animation of such institutions and the
power to require statements such as made
by the national banks.
There are many details involved which
supposed that the intention is to give the
controller general powers and then by SUBJ
sequent acts clOthe him with such authority
as he may deem necessary. 1t Is looked
upon as important that even such step
which may be considered AS merely prelfm-
mary should be taken and for this reason
the draft Of the bill is regarded as very
satisfactory.
Two 25-share lots of telephone stock were
sold at today's meeting OF the stock ex-
change on bid OF 45k This stock was TO
be had at 45ss, but the holder concluded to
let it go at that figure. The bid was con-
tfnued without result and no further oner-
Ing was made of the stock.
A bid of 45as was made for $50 shares but
there was no Offering.
A couple of lots of gas stock sold for 60.
bid of 59A was made for twenty-five or
fifty shares. and lot Of the former size
was for sale at 30. Twenty-three shares
were offered at 5S5s. and 59N was bid.
Some odd lots of the certificates sold for
119k.
Mergenthaler sold on somewhat higher
level today than was the case yesterday
while Lanston sold for about the same.
Whatever the effect of the investigation
into the facts connected with the order
given for additional Lanston machines by
the government printing Office. which was
begun today. will have upon the prices in
the stock market 1t was evident that such
Influences are not actively apparent.
There was no great rush to buy or sell
stock in either case. Two ten-share lots of
Mergenthaler constituted the whale trading
1856 and 1858. At the close 1851 was bid
and 1856 was asked.
An option on 100 shares of Lanston sold
for 151a and these were still to be had at
that figure. A bid Of Is was made for 500
shares and such lot was to be had for
15k.
couple OF lots sold for 15Ss and then the
bid did not rise higher than 15A. The stock
was offered at 151s.
Railway & Electric Co. sold for 9O7s and
also for 90A. and 1t was still to- be had at
the latter price. The bid was then 901s.
The common stock made some progress In
the upward course which was started day
or two ago: 361s was given for an option
and for 100 shares 35S was paid. A couple
of 50-share lots went for 36. AT the close
the bid was 35% and 1914 was asked. For
options a bid Of 80 was made.
Quite lot of Greene Copper was traded
in on range of 22M to %. One 5O0-share
lot brought 22H. Yesterday 23as was bid and
gsss was asked
Norfolk and Washington Steamboat bonds
sold for lib and ia and at the close 1l3
was bid and la was asked.

NEW YORK. June 2a-It Is perhaps too
much to expect of stock market which

one low prevailing that 1t should move
continuously in one direction or the other

that reactionary tendencies should have

Mr.. Sulzer in the Pulpit.

AS the Hon. William SulZer was not ed
ucated for the ministry. and Is not as ia
nous in connection with church work as
with political work. it would not be fair
to hold him to too strict account for
deliverances made under church in
fiuences. Still there are a few points in
his address at the Baptist Church of the
Epiphany in New York Sunday afternoon
which might be clearer and which he
should clear up.
His text, who Shall Own America, the
Citizens or the Corporations?" Is popular
just now, and, in the main, is handled by
both the clergy and the statesmen In much
the same manner. Mr.. Sulzer holds that
while the citizens should own the country,
the corporations do, and he wants the prop
erty transferred.
So far, so good. But listen to this:

that we are now drawing closer to each

tanning hands to till the land and harvest
the crops, with factories falling to hil their
orders because Of insufficient operatives,
this spectacle of enormous numbers OF an
fed, homeless people in the cities must be
regarded as evidence of an Improperly cis-
tributed population.
For this unequal distribution the greatest
part of the blame lies upon the sufferers
themselves They will not leave the cities.
The newcomers from Europe prefer to herd
together with their own kind instead Of
going west, where there Is an urgent need
for their services. The native-born Ameri-
cans of certain class and temperament
would rather shiver and starve in town
than accept work at good wages on the
farms or the railroads or in the factories
Such as these constitute the real charity
problem. The men and women who are at
work, earning enough to 1--we decently. are
not to be commiserated. When skilled char
tty-workers approach them it is for the
purpose of teaching them to make bet

the lesson of success. The vitality impor-

generously inclined that promiscuous giving
is deterrent rather than help. Just so
in a measure the occasional feeding OF
these homeless thousands OF the city In the
name of charity Is harmful In a certain de-
gree however beautiful may be the motive
and however helpful momentarily the gift
may be to the individual. What is needed
by this great army of men and women who
dined yesterday at the expense of the
churches and the clubs and the charity or

ton that there is more In life than the
mere meeting of the immediate wants OF

Russia.

While the news from the cities of Rus

that the situation in the rural districts re-
mote from railroad and telegraph is even
worse lends the utmost horror to the
situation. In all probability if faithful
account of a single days transactions
throughout the distracted empire could be
laid before the world mankind would stand
aghast at the record. And yet nobody need
be surprised. The hell-broth has been
cooking for years, and such stuff is always
served steaming hot. VIII there appear a.

Albany Will be interesting state cap
ital this winter. but not the only one An
napolis Is on the cards for some business
which should attract more than local at
tention, and produce more than local re-
suits.
Mr.. German, as so often in Maryland. Is
again the issue. When he opened his cam
paign last fall In behalf Of the Poe amend
ment. the Maryland senator, replying to
the charge that the measure was intended
to strengthen his hands as boss and In
sure his return to the Senate, declared that
the statement was erroneous. He had, he
said. no plans for the future except as they
might be shaped by the defeat Of the
amendment. Defeat, he warned his oppo-
nents in both parties would insure an In
crease Of his interest in politics. and more
activity on his part than ever.
Well. as we all know, defeat came! Tho
republicans, working together with soil
darity seldom witnessed, were Joined by
thousands of democrats led by the most In
tellectual democrats in the state, and the
Poe amendment was put to the sleep that
knows no waking. Mr. German was rout-
ed. and his leadership very greatly discred-
tied. He got what in the vernacular IS
called a terrible Jolt.
But he was not entirely knocked out, and,
true to his threat. he Is up and at 1t again.
and will make an effort to control the legis-
iatve situation. 1t is safe to accept him as
a candidate to succeed himself in the Sem
ate. and his present maneuver as step In
the direction of controlling matters when
his personal fortunes are again in the bal
ance. The present legislature elects no
senator, but by deft manipulation it might
be made to do some important work in Mr..
Germans future behalf.
The anti-Gorman democrats are now. as
last fall, under the leadership Of strong
men, who have proved their mettle on more
fields than one, and as fighters have a
recond They know Mr.. German: have
trained with him. as they are now training
against him. He has no more at stake
than they have. If he wins and gets
thoroughly the upper hand, their cake will
be dough for the rest Of their political lives.

all the more interest because Of the fact
that they came so very near to controlling

Phantom Fortunes.
From the Philadelphia Ledger

A man has just been arrested in New
York for swindling women in a familiar
way He made each believe that a legacy
Of imposing amount had been left to her.
To set in motion the legal process by which
she was to receive this fee was neces-
sary The man would take the fee. Then
all he would set in motion would be his
agile person. and not in the direction of
legacy, but of new victim. When he
was finally caught twenty-six women ap-
peared against him. While all fortune hoped
for, but still to be attained is in some sense
suggestive Of a. phantom, one may pursue
with chance Of oyertakng reality. But
these mystic fortunes that knock about
the country urging people to accept them
are Pigments. They are not even the ghosts
of wealth. They lack the tangibility Of the
figures crossing the mind in dreams. It Is
wonderful how they continue to deceive.
