Greene Copper sold at me meeting OF
the stock exchange today about point less
than the closing bid price yesterday. It was
on the level of the dealing In this stock on
the curb In New York, and this sudden de-
cline IL accounted for by variety Of rea-
sons. among which may be mentioned the
dIsposing by a large holder Of quite 4
block OF his stock.
It Is denied with some y,ositiyeness that
there Is any notion of increasing the capi-
tai stock, and It Is also said there are dis
agreements among the directors which SC
counts for the falling on In the market
price OF the stock
Whatever the reason 1t was evident that
the decline has stopped for the present. and
at 261t. and that was the bid made for any
part of 1000 shares There was not q
great deal done In the stock, but there were
q few transactions at 20M and fractionaiiy
higher. The stock was to be had at the
close at 26A.
A ten share lot of the stock of the Nor
folk and Washington Steamboat Company
bid, and 325 was asked. The stockholders
yesterday ratified the action Of the board
of directors OF, rather. approved plan
submitted to them for increasing the capt-
tai stock of the company from 100000 to
s.. 600. 900. The issue at the present time
will be only one-half OF the authorized IN
crease. and 1t will be allotted to stockhoid-
ers at par on the basis of one and a half
shares OF new to every seven of the old. .
This amounts to an extra dividend OF
about $40 per share. which is the second
by the company during the past year in
addition to the regular annual dividend of
IL per cent 49,
No further progress was made today in
the upward course of the stock Of the
Washington Loan and Trust Company, but
one of the brokers reiterated his opinion
that the stock in a short time would look
cheap at the present prices. He did not
explain exactly why 1t should have such
an appearance, and, as is always the case
with such oracu1ar deliverances. an expia-
nation might spoil the sound OF the entire
prediction.

oyERAILs NOT STOLEN.
Were Condemned Goods That Had Beer
Shipped to Boston.

A story published in Boston morn
inc paper of Friday to the effect that
President George w. Darcy OF the
Brattleboro Overall company had re-
Gently discovered on sale at the North
end in Boston goods made by his com
pany that had been fraudulently CD
tanned at the factory in keene, N. H.,
is very positively denied there.
According to the account in the Bos,
ton paper President ID 'Arcy noticed
goods made at his factory, and costing
Is cents a pair, being offered at second
hand Boston shops at 50 cents a PAIR,
in unite large quantities. That he dld
NOT know how to explain this at first
is understood to be true, but the state
ment that the mystery OF the dlsap-
nearance of the garments from the rae
tory without the knowledge OF the
maker was solved when it was learned
that a junk dealer had been IN the
habit of going to the Keene Factory
from time to time to buy odds ana ends
and rags, and further statement that
he shipped the overalls to Boston al
the bottom of cases of rags, leaving
the natural inference that the overalls
were dishonesty obtained, does not nj
the facts as they are understood at
Keene. 80 uo
II is stated at the factory that these
Goods were condemned on account OF
mistakes made in their manufacture,
and were sold to a second hand dealer
in a perfectly straightforward way, at
a nrice for second hand goods. 1t is
also stated that President darcy was
informed of this as soon as he maze
enquiries at the Keene factory. 1t is
believed that he at once communicated
that information to the Boston police
authorities, who should have known
that the matter was satisfactorily lex ex,
nIained. The police in Keene were
notified some days ago by PRESIDENT
D;Arcv that the whole matter had
been cleared up and that there was
nothing fraudulent about it. This was
done because the Keene police mad
hean informed of President darcy $
suspicious when he first discovered the
overalls on sale.

There is no question but that an as

prospect for such building is not par

Besides the eloseness Of the score the
game contained number Of features

There was a running catch by L. Al.

T. Ellis az short, some splendid stick
work by l., Allen and Sebastian and
last but not least a stolen base by
Cooley Both pitchers were effective
on the slab and pulled out Of several

Y M C. A. in Need Of Money.

The financial side of the Brattleborc
Young Mems Christian association Is
matter which is causing the directors
some concern, says the local correspond
ent of the Springfield Republican. BY
that is not meant that there is a lkeh
hood that the association rooms Will DC
closed for lack of financial support
but it is a fact which may as well be
made known, and thereby possibly
arouse more interest in the association
that the money for carrying on the
work is coming hard. The reason fol
this is that there are not enough new
small subscribers to make good the
financial loss caused by the death OF
some of the large subscribers IN the
past few wears. The expenses Of the
association are about $1,000 year
This money has to come from member
ships and personal subscriptions. Inc
president of the association is e. u
Crosby. Mr.. Crosby believes that more
extensive apparatus, outside the read
ing-room, would create additional In.
terest and enthusiasm in the work, and
il is probable that more equipment Will
be installed, if it can be done without
increasing the indebtedness. That
idea is now under consideration. The
Indebtedness is not large, amounting to
only $500. In this connection 1t should
be stated that the debt was created
previous to the past fiscal year. The
receipts of the past year were sufficient
to meet the expenses, but many OF the
subscribers increased their subscriptions
25 per cent Secretary Cunningham is
optimistic about the matter, and says
what has been done once can be done
again. but how long the supporters will
be willing to subscribe an extra amount
is a matter for debate. 1t has been nee
essary for Secretary Cunningham to
