ONLY ONE IDEA
IN LOCAL MARKET
Mitchell Mining Trading Put
Aside All Other Con-
SideratiOnS.

With. an enthusiastic public c"owding
every available foot OF space outside the
rail brought there by the expectation Of
some interesting proceedings the ses-
sion Of the Washington Stock Exchange
today proceeded in a lelsurely and quiet
fashion until the call or Mitchell Mining
was reached when the bottled up en-
thusi3sm broke forth and for a time
pandemOnium Teigned The advance in
price on the New York curb earlier in
the day had rather whetted the appe-
tite for some local surprises and IL was
not entirely unexpected when the FIRST
bid came al 6, which was half point
better than the stock had been freely
offered at on Friday. But the bidder
was promptly supplied and subsequent
ones were equally treated with the some
consideration. In fact the supply was
equal TO all demands and although the
record shows sales of $500 shares and
singularly not one or option IL did not
appear that the selling had come 20 an
appreciable end. The only news out is
tnat former Greene holders are now
getting into Mitchell.
On the balance of the list the inter
est was nil, Lanstou weakened and Gas
found one purchaser, Railway common
held hrm az 30, but would not bulge and
bonds were lacking in noteworthy fca
Jure.

Buying of pig iron for delivery in the
second half OF 1907 is increasing in vol

COREY MAY MARRY
ACTRESS At HOME

LONDON, Dec. -9.-Tt is reported here
that the expected marriage of William
Ellis Corey. head Of the american Steel
Trust, and MabelIe Gilman is to take
place in America, The departure Of
Mr.. Corey from New York for Europe
is said to be fer the purpose of ar
ranging the preliminaries with Miss
Gilman foT the wedding
The difficulties attending the maria
e Of foreigners i'm France are so great
and entWincd with so much red tape
that 1t is thought unlikely the wedding
viii be celebrated III Paris.
Mr.. Corsy's denials of his intention
10 TemaTTy are diSTegaTded as Miss
Gilman's friends make no secret of
Corey's intention. One evidence of the
serious care which Corey is exercising
over his future wife is the fact Chat
for months her constant companions
have been Corey's sister and brother
in-law.
