order which viii prevent the appoint
ment Ia custom houses. postofices,

clerical work. except upon the proper
Certi1catiOn OF the Civil Service Com
mission.

the present order is a mere extension Of
that executive decree TO the field. Mr.
Greene explained that there is a large
body Of men who are appointed as
labOrers but who also perform a great
deal of clerical work They have to
be strong enough TO do such work as
trucking in customs houses. Hereafter
the commission will keep a register of
men who have passed an examination

to place the bituB- '@ous coal business
on a. solid foundation, eliminating many

BANK EXCHANGES.

DUn's Review says bank exchanges
this week at all leading cities in the
United States are s., ,659. 005. $50, an in
crease of 2].5 per cent over the cor
responding week of last year. This is a
heavy total for only five days and for
the third week of February, alearings
in the latter part of the month being
generally less than in the earlier weeks
Nearly every city reports a large gain,
a trifing loss at Cleveland having no
special significance. At New Orleans ex-
changes are only slightly larger than
last year, and show loss compared
with two years ago. but changes in
the cotton market VIII explain this.

CLIMBING HIGHER
AND STILL HIGHER
Washington Railway Common Moves
Up Point on Tremendous Buying.
Preferred and Bonds Also Active.

Yesterdays activity in Washington
Railway common served to attract
full attendance of the members of the
exchange today and an unusually large
contingent OF the general public who
filled the space allotted and waited
ca ageTly for expected developments on
the stock. Nor were they at all disap-
pointed. as the sales of the day largely
exceeded those of yesterday and the
price went soaring upward. gaining d
full point over the best price then and
holding strong at the top.
over 1900 shares were traded in and
the price, which opened at 42@s, was
closed strong at 431z. with offers to
take any part OF 1.OQ0-share lots at best
figures. In fact it can be said that
quotations" were practically ignored
and lots of 20, 200. and 500 shares
snapped UP by Broker Hume with
facility and confidence that gave Gre
dence to the story published in this
column on yesterday that the buying
was for large New York interests, who
have looked into the situation fully.
All the tricks of the trade were resort
Ell to in order 20 Induce selling and
much long stock dislOdged that had
been waiting such an opportunity. Pre-
dictions of even higher prices and
confident belief that the end was not
yet was strongly evident
The audience was somewhat prepared
for striking changes when on the open
ing of the call the bonds OF the Wash
ingtOR Railway Company were eagerly
taken and on the most pronounced buy
ing nearly 10000 OF them changed
hands. The selling began at sS1., but as
they were in plentiful supply. the price
rseeded TO S77s. with offerings at sS OF
apparently unlimited quantities. The
amount traded in has not been eQuaied
for several weeks
II was somewhat of a surprise when
an offer to sell 500 shares OF the prefer
red a. ca was quickly snapped up by
BIVner HibbS who has reCenjlv develop
ed beaTish prOclivites on tlis stock
and II WAS even more surprising when
after yaIuly endeavOTing to purchase
more at the same level he sold at
fractional loss. He was active in the
bonds. but fo- the first time in many
months took 10 interest in the common
stock except % assist as far as possible
in his cap9 city as presiding officer In
effecting trades.
All other trading was secondary to
the interest in the three above men
toned. and sales OF Washington Gas.
Lanston and Telephone. which were
made around recent prices were passed
over with no special attention.
The total bank clearings for the
week ending today at the Washington
clearing house. were S4.627.776 an in

ing week last year.
