LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

Practically anything but the securities
listed on the Washington Stock Exchange
interested the members OF that body at the
meeting today. The latest details OF tho
fate of the Russian feet was discussed with
the keenest interest, and an announcement
was made of the success OF the yacht At
lantic: but when 1t came to buying and
selling stocks and bonds there was nothing
doing.
No effort was made either to buy or to
sell, and as result the changes made in
the quotations were as a rule entirely with
out Significance.
The call went on without any attempt to
interrupt the serenity of the scene. and, In

ceedinglX thin string of the sales of Mer-
genthaler rights the record would have had
the appearance 1t used to wear before the
days when thousands were asked and given
for seats.
In connection with the Mergenthaler

brokers had them for sale, mostly the rights
for small lots Of shares. They proclaimed
that fact at one time and the volume OF

up things.
For time there was all the appearance
of an active trading day. The brokers con-

some even waved their hands. so that the
scene for a few minutes looked real ex-
citing.
When the secretary had chance to put
down the various sales it was found that
the rights of SiXty-two shares had been sold

the brokers which indicated that there Is
an impression that the stock Is on its way
up to 145.
The common stock OF the Washington

as low as 361e. but the bid did not go be-

Japanese Victory Gives I'm
petus to Market.
ACTIVE AND BU0YANT
RUSSIAN SECURITIES SHOW ONLY
A SMALL LOSS.
American Stocks Rose in the London
Market--Foreigners Heavy
Buyers.


epeclai IlspatCn - Inc star
NEW YORK, May 29.-Ths morning S
definite announcement of the decided Japa-
nese naval victory led to active and
buoyant speculation In the London stock
market. where a general and pronounced
advance in prices took place. Even Rus
sian securities showed only a small loss-a
circumstance which attested to the belief
that the great Japanese naval victory i'm
piled an early conclusion of hostiities be-
tween Russia and Japan. American stocks
rose In the London market from i to z
points and upon the opening of business
here foreign houses appeared as heavy buy
ers. Their total purchases were estimated
in the neighborhood of $4,000 shares-a very
large sum In view of the total volume of
business transacted during the time these
orders were being executed. During the
forenoon, In fact. the purchases for for
elgn account were the chief and almost
only feature of the market. Local dealings
were. indeed. In very light volume, and IN
fact, the market showed rather plainly
that advantage was being taken of the
large foreign buying for the purpose of
marketing stocks bought during last week $
unsettlement Such being the case. 1t
might be said that the market retained Its
early extensive advances exceedingly we'll.
As was to be expected, the Japanese bonds
dealt in upon the stock exchange were eX-
ceedlngly strong and active. In fact, the
transactions in that quarter measured up
very we'll with those in the most active or
the railway or Industrial stocks. 1t would
probably be unsafe to conclude that Togo
great achievement means that negotiations
for peace will be Immediately opened, but
that was apparently the view taken by
spectators in New York and London alike.
II was observed with satisfaction that
Paris received the news of the Russian
naval disaster with composure. There was
over Sunday and had there been any 1t
would OF course. have been obscured by
the historic event in the Korean straits.
The most important news relating to any
particular group of stocks that came to
light with the course of the business session
was furnished by the decision of the Su-
preme Court at Washington upholding the
constttutionality of the New York state
franchise taxing law. The local traction
stocks gave a characteristic reception to
this intelligence.

NEW YORK, May 29.-It would not be
very great surprise to banking circles IN
this city If the failure of depository insei-
tutions in the last few weeks. including es-
pecially those of the Merchants Trust Com
pany here and some of the Ohio collapses'
were followed In the next few months py
considerable number OF similar incidents
in Ohio and states further to the west ana
In New England. In fact. 1t will apparently
be something of a surprise II more Failures
OF the kind do not occur soon. 1t seems
that in the last three or four years there
has been, In Ohio and New England par
ticularly. almost a craze on the part oi
small bankers to endeavor to initiate Win
strictly local enterprises the success OF the
large city institutions which have engaged
in the fotation and financing OF corpora
lions for whose securities there was or was
likely to be wide and ready market.
In most cases the craze has taken the
form of efforts to float, consolidate or 9TH
erwise local traction companies. The en-
terprises on which the money has, been
loaned have probably been good paying
businesses, but the narrowness and SLOW
ness of the market for their securities Is
believed to have tied up many institutions
in the territory indicated almost to the
point of embarrassment and that the day Is
not far off when the bank SO unfortunately
situated will have to go under Is regarded
as certainty. In banking circles here this
outlook is regarded complacently.
< X
1t Is pointed out that while a thing OF
failures, such as those of recent date. may
have a temporary effect on sentiment. this
Is likely to be confined largely to the locah-
ties chiefly concerned as is the direct ma
terial effect of the failures. that the insr-
tutions so embarrassed will be too small,
even in the aggregate, to have any general
effect. and that the outcome the whole
banking situation will be strengthened and
