LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

what IL Greene Copper going to dor
was the question that was thrown out gen
orally today by ono OF the brokers when
the members Of the local board were COM
ing together for the daily meeting. He
asked no one in particular and no one was
specially expected to reply, but one OF the
brokers volunteered the information that,
IN his opinion, the stock had already done.
/ This latter was in reference to the activ-
ity which took place In the New York curb
market yesterday, which affected pretty
wen the entire list Of the copper stocks.
Among others. Greene Copper sold az
high as %. an advance of ~ points. whica
10 said to be the biggest rise for the stock
in any one day for months past. How
ever. today's dealing in the New York
market was not as fast and furious. and
what was done was on lower level. reach
ing 2Sk.
That was the situation when the local
brokers gathered today for their noon meet
ing. and while the market here yesterday
was not affected by the movement in New
York 1t was expected that something OF
the sort would be in evidence today.
This proved to be the case, the bid start
ing at %. while yesterday the closing bid
was FAX and the asking price 26M. There
was not much trading done, however, but
what was done was at the figures which
were quoted dn New York for today's mar
ket. = . 80.
The movement in the copper stocks was
attributed in New York to the improved
market for the product and in consequence
the better prospects for larger earnings on
the part OF the companies. - ''e.s''i .'
Mitchell did not come within the infiu-
ence OF this rise, and today the prices Of
that stock were on about the same level as
that Of the past few days. namely, 6, and
trifie higher. :, = i.'i
Higher figures were heard both in con-
nectfon with the common stock of the
Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany and with the preferred stock, and
especially the latter. but there was no gen.
eral disposition to trade. The level Of the
bid and the asking prices showed in both
cases an advance A slight tendency toward
higher figures was also noticeable yester-
day In these stocks.

A SHIP WORTH TAKING.
What the Capture of the San PHILIPPE
Meant to England

On the 9th of June, 1897, Drake, COM
ing back from ''singeing the king of
Spain's beard in CadiZ,' fell in with a
huge vessel, which he captured She
proved to be the San PHILIPPE, an East
Indiaman owned by the king of Spain
himself and then the largest merchant
man afioat
Her cargo, valued at more than a mil
lion sterling of modern money, was in
itself the most valua bic ever captured,
but there was something else even
more valuable than the cargo. This
consisted of the ships papers and ac-
counts, which disclosed to the mer-
chant adventurers OF England all the
methods and mysteries and the bound
less possibilities of the East India
trade.
Indeed, it would hardly he stretching
the facts to say that the morning which
saw the capture of the San PHILIPPE saw
also the dawn of our Indian empire.
The immediate result was the forma-
tion of the East India company, which
was not only the greatest commercial
