BULLS AND THE BEARS
Gossip of the Stock Market
in Wall Street.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, May 13.-As some investors
view it, the unfavorable outside factors
being no worse than they are, and the
favorable general conditions being as good
as they are, the situation in the stock mar
ket itself is such that prices can be easily
made to undergo a material advance. Ac-
cording to these views. the market is in
control of powerful interests who have
practically all the stocks that there are for
sale.
If some of the oracles are to be believed
the banking interests will see that the mar
ket is kept we'll in hand. as what is de-
vised is more a gradual Improvement than
a big speculation for the rise. Keeping
the market in hand usually means sup
plying stocks to check excuses IL the ten
dency is upward, and buying stocks from
time to time If the tendency is down.
There seems to be a certain diversion OF
the market into spheres of influence among
certain rich groups of spectators who may
or may not be allied with or represent the
inside interest in them or the more power
full banking interest with which the various
stocks are identified. 1t is pointed out that
a very strong wind seems to be operating
in the lead and copper stocks. Another
favors the railroad equipment issues. An
other chooses the Northern Securities group
for It's exploits. Still another makes its
power felt in the coalers. 1t would be pos
sibe to carry the analysis much further
and confederation could be found for 1t IN
detail in facts known to competent observ-
ers of the trading on the board and what Is
said and done in the various brokerage
houses of larger and lesser Importance IL
is a market in which individuals do not
count for much. but what are known as
''parties" and "followings" count for
great detail.
There Is too much socialism and pater.
nalsm rampant throughout the country at
the present time in the opinion of certain
level-headed investors who would ike 10
feel that securities are upward bound, but
cannot convince themselves that purchases
would be prudent just now. 1t is fact
that in certain conservative banking quar-
ters although there is nothing like bear
ish feeling there is no great amount OF ell
thrsiasm over the immediate prospects for
securities.
Atwood, Violet & Co. say in their weekly
review of the stock market: Altogether
the situation warrants better prices for Sc
curities. 1t is likely that the trading attl-
tude of selling on rallies and buying on sort
spots will be the position to assume at pres
ent, favoring the long side. This tendency
is now most evidenced in the Industrial
group

A Period of DEVELOPMENT.

Washington has just arrived at the age of
large transactions. and business men pre-
dict a marvellous growth during the next
decade.
Il have received many encouraging letters
regarding the new trust company, and also
assurances of patronage The high prices
at which the stock of the financial institu-
lions of Washington are held, based upon
good business profits, makes this class Of
investments quite popular with the ordinary
investor, who desires to place his money
where he can easily realize on his invest
ment and at the same time get good re-
turn while he is holding It."

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The clearings of the Washington clear
ing house for the week ending today
were 1929 5000. an increase of $780,.
OTS.39 over the corresponding week last
year.
The toboggan course of Mergenthaler
continued today. and there was no dispo-
stion manifested to check it. There was
no great pressure to sell. and the buying
orders were not in evidence.
The stock was offered at 1870 at the open
ing. which was about the closing price of
yesterday and for a long time there was
no bid of any sort. In the meantime the
sliding process went on, as far the ask
ing price was concerned, and when 1t had
reached 1924 the first bid was made. But
then that was 1854, a difference OF fun
point between buyer and seller.
There was some demand for broken lots,
and bids under 1S9 were made for such
lots. but there was none for sale less than
that figure, SO that it was necessary to
take the lets at that level.
One ten-share lot went for 1SSH, and then
the bid was 1885, and 1888 was asked. The
rights were offered at D. and SA was
bid.
In view of the conditions it is predicted
by some that Mergenthaler Is in for fur
Their decline, but as the influences are
is uncertainty about that prediction, as Is
the case with most of the attempts that
are made to reveal the future of the stock
market.
The sale of four 1O0-share lots of Riggs
Fire Insurance Company stock has the ap
pearance of good deal of activity in that
stock, but as the transactions were con-
fined to one broker no excitement that was
noticeable was occasioned by the trading.
The sales were made at SA. and that con-
tinued to be the bid and SIS was asked
An unlimited bid of 36ha was made for the
common stock of the Washington Railway
and Electric Company. But there was no
stock for sale at that price, and neither We're
there any purchasers, except the broker who
made the offer and who subsequently offered
to buy or sell on that level.
Several lots were sold at 1854 and 36Ss. but
that was the end of the trading.
There was but little trading in the other
securities on the list and the changes made
in the quotations were not OF Importance.

NEW TRUST COMPANY
PROGRESS THAT IS BEING MADE
IN THIS ENTERPRISE.
Mr.. B. n. Warner Describes the De-
velopment of This Phase Of City's
Financial History.

Mr.. B. H. Warner said today that there
had been several conferences by parties in
terested in the organization of a new trust
company in the District of Columbia. AS
yet no permanent organization has been
perfected. Some preliminary steps have
been taken looking to the securing of a
charter. Within the next few days, said
he, 1 trust some definite information can
be given upon the subject.
1T is interesting" said Mr.. Warner. "to
note the rapid growth of these companies.
Six years ago there were less than 300
trust companies in the United States; now
there are more than 1 100. Then their re-
sources were 81, 10000, 900; today they are
over $3,2e0, 100000.
Fifteen years ago the purpose of the
trust companies was not understood or
comprehended. They represented about .
per cent of the banking power of the United
States and per cent of the banking power
of the world; now they represent % per
cent OF the banking power of the United
States and per cent of the banking power
of the world. Within this time the indi-
vidual deposits in all the banks in the
United States have increased 139 per cent,
while those in the trust companies have in
creased 312 per cent

Increase in Resources,

''In the city of New York within the last
ten years the resources of state banks have
increased "a per cent. savings banks IS per
cent and the trust companies 273 per cent.
During the year 1904 the trust companies
in the state of New York distributed to
their stockholders in div'd ends sga,s 000
while in the same year the depcsItors in
these institutions received in Interest near
ly $4,000, 600 or $2.73 of the profits of the
business to every dollar paid TO the stock
holders.

pany IS the fact that the depos.tors and
stockholders both share In the profits and
have vital interest In its success.
