CAPITAL TRACTION
MOVED Up A PEG
Selling by Representative of
Banking House Identi-
fled With Company.

Capital Traction had its innings at the
session Of the Washington Stock Ex-
change today, and for a time the trading
was exceedingly spirited notwithstand-
Ing the fact that the entire selling was
by representative OF a powerful bank
ing house, long identified with the road
which, under ordinary circumstances
would be calculated 10 create dispirit-
ing effect on the bidders.
The hrst sale was at 1451z. which was
full point higher than the figures that
ruled on Tuesday, but the amount of
stock that came out. running I'D into
hundreds Of shares. was rather TOO
great, and the price slowly crumbled
away TO 1451s. closing at that figure.
Ihese sales show a full recovery from
the level Of a fortnight ago before the

TELEPHONE MANNERS.

The telephone Is no longer a new nor
a novel institution, and crudeness even
ruueneSs. OF manners Is no longer toler-
dted on the ground of unusualness Of
situation. The who is that?' of the
man or woman at the other end of the
line who has just called you from YOUR
oCCu p@uoh. not az your convenience, but
az his or hers, is just too exasperating
What right is there in the fellow at n
distance first 20 call you with a harsh
and JinGling bell and then TO greet your
heAo' with a suspicious query? Why
should you leave your chair, drop your
work and hasten TO the impatient rattle
OF bell, and then patiently subject
known party?
If respect for oneself does not demand
resentment at the query from the un-
known, common prudence ought TO teach
the advtsability of declining 70 answer
questions over the phone until the party
caiilng shall have announced his person
anty. Whoever heard OF a visitor but
ting into mans Office and greeting him
you. anyhow"
The right TO question is plainly in the
man called upon; the duty of expIana-
tlol clearly with the caller. But there
are many brusque, not TO say impertin-
ehI' persons, who think that the tables
are turned when using a teIephope
Ihey seem 10 think that because the
exchange has connected them With YOU,
phone You and your servants and Ali
that are OF your house are their victims
out that 10 them Is permitted degree
or caution as 10 identity and freedom
as 10 speech which would not be toier-
ated for moment in personal converse
Ting g-a-ling-ling-ling' We'll. hello7',
- Hello, who is that2'' Now. don't ,-o,,
feel like saying; in the most dignifed
manner Imaginable: Look here. sir: I
didn't call you. You have caused the ex-
change TO ring my number. Presum-
aDly, you have something TO say to some
considerate enough TO designate who Il
Is YOU wish TO converse with and court
eous enough to declare your identity
that 1 may judge as to the advisability
OF permitting urther communication
But you don't Use language OF this
sort. In the embarrassment of being
asked who you are in your own quarters
you either grow confused and answer
your temper and try TO contribute to the
eI1barraSSment OF the wretch at the
other end of the line.
These inconsiderate interrOgators have
a way, TOO. of ringing up a residence IN
the night time, and. without discovering
their own Identity. breezily inquire If
the man of the family IS there For
OBVIOUS reasons these queries should not

No doubt there Is the prerogative Of
immediate response attached to the tele-
phone call just as there is the courtesy

Indication that the short interest is
not extensive or very stubborn was af-
sorded by the statement Of several OF
the larger commission firms that con-
siderable borrowed stock had been re-
turned during the past few davs. TAX
ing the list as a whole. the bear ac-
count is believed TO be relatively small.
though the opinion is expressed that in

Copper. for instance, where short sell
ing has seemingly been enCoura ged a
fair line Of short commitments is out
standing.
1t is asserted that the chances for A
dividend on Southern Pacific common
have been minimized by the disaster at
San Francisco, which is expected to re-
suit in a falling off in earnings during
the period Immediately following this
occurrence. The fact that the comnany
mas not issued statement for either
March or April is causing considerable
comment. Aside from the question of
the San Francisco disaster II is said in
well-informed quarters that the policy of
the management has in no wise changed
since the issuance of the last annual
report. and that until the entire system
has been raised to modern standards
which must he rapidly under way. Iudg-
ing by the large amounts charged to
maintenance. a dividend even a very
small one. is exceedingly unlikely on
the common stock. notwithstanding that
earnings would seem 10 fully justify It.
