Holds His Own in Joking.

The members of the stock exchange
are no respectors OF persons. On the
floor. while the call is in progress, each
and every member gets the same
amount OF consideration, and the presi-
dent Of a great bank or trust company
receives no more attention than does
the modest broker whose bank account
is confined to but few figures Whether
It be in the execution Of orders or in the
exchange of the pleasant personalities
which serve to while the time. no one
can claim special privileges G. c.
Glover Is probably one of the members
OF the Washington exchange that most
enjoys the brighter side of the meetings,
and is ready to indulge IN good laugh

arise Frequently he gets of good
joke on some of his fellows, and there
are times when the joke Is turned on
him. At such times he accepts IL with

Rather Funny, Isn't It?

All the odd names are not to be found
in the city directory. Sometimes they
crop out in the most unusual places.
The brokers are quietly chucklinE over
few new ones that have recently ap-
peared on certificates of a mining COM
pany whose stock is more or less popular
in this community. Generally the name
on the face OF a certiicate is supposed
70 represent a bona fide owner who is
anxious 70 have his property in A nego-
table condition, and whose business or
residence address can DO found when
needed. But the city directory does not
contain the names OF B. 2. Cause OK

owneu of certificates issued 20 them

Died A-Borning.

It was = matter OF some surprise when
the nCuncement was made during the
past week that the dividend on Mitchell
Mining. which would be due and pay
able this month. would not be declared.
The reasons given were good and suffi-
cient, but they were hardly satisfactory
TO those who had but recently invested
IN the neighborhoOd Of S14 per share for
the stock. only 10 discover that the
news had been sufficient to cause d
slump 10 s.. at which figure 1t has per-
sistently hung. IN January the COM
pany announced the beginning of bi-
monthly dividends OF I per cent, and i'm
meGiately the stock was boosted 10 s14
per share. The second one was paid
IN March. but the third one is like the
letter that never came and many are
the hearts that are weary today in
consequence. OF course. the building Of
a railroad IS necessary for the better
exploitation OF the magnificent plant OF
the company, which, from MI reports,
is rich IN mineral ore. but ignorant peo-
pie are asking why that fact was not
considered when dividends were sug-
sested and n postponement made until
they could be put on an established
basis

Progressive and Prosperous.

The regular daily bid Of 275 for the
shares OF the Union Savings Bank and
the very limited amount that has been
offered for sale even at these high
figures recalls the great increase IN
this class Of securities and the pros
perity Of the several Institutions OF
this kind.

corporated. IL was the only exclusive
savings bank in the District, the Ma
tional Savings Bank having az that

BULLISH FEELING

NEW YORK, May 5.-The cotton
market was stronger and mucn more
active today with prices making a fur
ther advance Of 6 10 Z points IN the
general list Of options from last
nights closing. and 1 points on May.
which brings the maximum advance
from last Saturdays closing quota
tions up 10 about 20 points on the old
crop and Is on the new crop options
There was a good deal Of liquidation II
the May option by some OF the old bull
interests. b'.t all these offerings were
readily taken by spot dealers.
There was more activity in the trad
ing here today than at any time for
the last several weeks. and general
sentiment has turned much moro in
favor of the market. and the general
situation and outlook are indicative Of
increasing activity in the trading. with
more probability Of a gradual advancing
tendency TO prices than otherwise from
these conditions.
The market closed firm at the top,
except for the May option.
At Liverpool spot cotton continued

Hot Time Among Bank Clerks.

Washington is deprived Of the pleasure
OF political elections. and the only ex-
citement possible along that line is chs
contests that frequently arise among as
sociations whose members are more OF
less ambitious to enjoy the honors and
emcluments Of office IN their respective
organizations. For the past month or
two the political cauldrOn in the Wash
ington Chapter Of Bank Clerks has been
a boiling. seething mass of the finest
and largest kind OF wire-pulling that
could possibly be looked for among an
organization composed of members
whose years are sti1 sufficiently few to
make a contest an agreeable form OF
diversion.
The office OF president was a plum
that was eargerly sought after by the
present occupant. and another member
of the association. and the REMAINDER
OF the places to be filled with but one
exception were equally desired by aTn0l-
tiOuS members The contest was not
one. and all the usual and unusual de-
vices known TO a canvass were resorted
10 in order TO rbing out full vote on
the occasion of the election last Thurs
day evening, when the various contes-
tants and their friends marshaled in
force. and proceeded to indulge in the
pleasure of casting their ballots.
The occasion was particularly eXcit-
ing, as the closeness Of the vote did NJ,
allow Of any let-up in their effor.s until
the last ballot was cast. and until tbs
result was announced no one felt sun
ciently confident 10 do more thar in
dulge IN a hope that his side would be
victorious. The candidates and the votes
given for each show how close and sx-
citing the contest was:

MILLS CAN SUPPLY
DEMAND AT FRISCO

CLEVELAND. Ohio. May 5.-The Iron
Trade Review says:
All the information obtainable in re-
gard to conditions in San Francisco in
dicates that the demand for structural
material will not be felt to any appre-
ciable extent for several months. In
surance Is now being adjusted. and it
is not expected that any contracts will
be made prior TO July l. About the
only orders received TO date are for
small tonnages of merchant pipe and
5oofing. which VIII be promptly flied
II is estimated that 10000 tons of struc-
tural material cannot be used for a
number Of months. and as the total
production of these shapes for this year
will be about 1850, 900 tons. the demand
growing out OF the earthquake and fire
can be seasily met. A single modern
mill with a capacity of 500 tons per day
could soon roll all the shapes which will
be required.
The Tennessee Coal Irion. and Rail-
road Company has taken orders for
about 200. 900 tons Of open-hearth rails
for delivery next year at s29. Three
large Western steam roads have placed
contracts for 10000 tons for 1907 deliv-
ery The ST. Paul has ordered 10000
tong: the Northwestern. 10000 tons, and

HEARD ON 'CHANGE AND STREET
Won on Merit.

Washington institutions recognize
merit in faithful officials and in no
branch of business so much so as IN the
banking line. Promotion there is sure
to come to those who give their best
forts for the success of the bank and
Il is for that reason that so many of the
cashiers of our local banks have so to
apea'I risen from the ranks" And
there is yet TO be noted a case where
the advancement OF junior has not
proven a wise and good move.
in an institution so time honored as
the Metropolitan Bank this rule has been
carefully adhered 10 and in the past
forty years OF its history but three men
have served In that capacity-Moses
Kelly, George II. p. White. and the sub
ject cf this sketch. J. Gales Moore.
Born a Washlngtonian. his education
was completed in that wen known and
h onored school which has been the alma
mater of so many of our best citizens.
the Rittenhouse Academy. and on com
pleting the course he promptly accepted
position I'm the bank TO which he has
given nearly forty years Of devoted and
intelligent service, passing through all
the grades from runner 70 his present
one OF cashier. During that time the
country has been visited by several Sc
we're financial panics-notab bly, that of 1873
and 1893 and Mr. Moore has vivid recol-
ieetions of the many startling events Of
those periods wherein he was an active
participant.
On the death Of George II. b. White
in 1899 Mr.. Moore. who had reached the
position Of assistant cashier. was nat
urally in the line OF promotion. but as
the management Of the bank had but a
short time previously undergone an en-
tire change IL was thought a new man
might be selected TO I'LL the vacancy
But the new owners were not long in
recognizing the merit OF their assistant
and the success OF the institution dur
ing the past half dozen years under his
administration commends the wisdom of
their choice Mr.. Moore Is quiet in his
tastes, a close student OF financial af-
fairs and finds his greatest pleasures in
a close attention TO the many perplexine
details which are part OF his daily life.

him. jumping upon his horse, tearing
