LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

In a day that was otherwise without spe-
clai interest, either for the amount OF
trading done or its character, the changes
made In the case of some OF the stocks in
the bank list at the meeting today of the
stock exchange excited some comment.
There were no sales in spite of the better
bids. and the changes made in that respect
were especially notable In the case OF the
Second. the Commercial and the Capital.
No special reason Is given for this appre-
citation in the estimation OF the value OF
these stocks except the very general one
that the business done by the banks Is q
good one and that they are making money.
higher bid was made for the stock Of
the Metropolitan Citizens Bank than was
the case on Saturday, but that did not
bring 1t above recent selling prices. IL ID
understood that plan Is now under con.
sideration for the increase OF the capital
stock from 100000 to N.00O.OOO and IT Is
thought the new issue Of stock will be made
in the near future.
The trading in the railway stocks had the
same sluggish character which has marked
1t for the past few days. The preferred
sold down to 03. and the common to 427s.
There was not much done In either case.
and when some reference was made wnen
the preferred stock was up to predfc-
ton that 1t would be near the hundred
mark before the snow began to NY the
principal tfaUeF ia tnlS ScCuEALy ooooA'oA
that he had hard time to keep 1t down.
It rs supposed the condition as shown
by the New York bank statement as to
reserves and the loans has some influence
locally, for about the same reason thar
when the market is down In Wall street
there is generally a quiet market here. ,
1t is supposed that there may be nara,
ening Of money rates, and that Is looked
upon as one reason why the buying is not
stronger.
there was q near approach In the Did ana
asking price in each case, but with the ex-
ception Of some blocks of the Union Trust
stock, which sold for 149, not much was
done. In the latter instance after the pur-
chase Of the stock at the figure named the
bid was renewed on that level, While there
was stock offered for sale at half point
advance. Subsequently the bid receoed 10
14sal and the asking price to 149h.
Ten shares of National Safe Deposit
stock also sold for 1877. and then 1t was to
be had half point in advance ana the DID
was 1f6.
Gas stock sold for COZ and CO.'S. contin-
uing gently the upward course which II
started on a day or two ago. but there Is no
general interest taken in the trading and 1t
still continues to be confined. as 1t has dur
ing the recent activity. to few brokers.

Swept from the Sea.

The battles with the Chinese and at
Santiago lose no little of their bril-
liancy and historic interest when
| brought into contrast with the ire
mendous battle at the Tsu Islands.
While history is written and read that
battle will be recalled. The weight of
the opposing fleets and the complete
ness of the victory will render it abb
solutely memorable and imposing. Out
of fighting fleet made up of twenty
six modern ships, only one cruiser and
shelter under the guns of the Golden
Horn. Think of it-only one cruiser
and one torpedo boat from a big fleet
and a once formidable navy, for the
Russian navy was two years ago ac-
counted as heavy in tonnage and guns
as the navy of the United States.
The manner in which the remark
able victory was accomplished will
render it extremely historic. 1t was
beyond doubt the result of the skillful
employment of mines, torpedo craft
and submarine boats, aided of course
by the heavy guns and skillful gun
ners of the Japanese fleet. A swarm
of torpedo boats, numbering eighty,
assaied in a chosen spot the fated
Russian ships. The Japanese do not
admit as yet the use of submarines,
but no doubt they had a part in the
mighty combat. 1t was battle be-
tween giants, fought with modern ap-
planes, with men behind them nota-
