The fact that it has held up in the face OF
conditions such as those of the past few
days is full encouragement to those VINO
believe that the commercial prosperity
of the country shows no signs OF diminu-
ton. and that as long as IT remains uniIn-
paired there is no danger of liquidation OF
good stocks that are paid for and held for
investment.
Steel is very largely held for invest
ment. The management of the company
is such as to inspire confidence. and the
conservatism in the dividend policy, while
.discouraging to spectators. has won new
friends for the stock among people who
buy for long pull when they feel sure
that ultimately increased returns will be
paid. Had the insider not discouraged
expectation Of an increased dividend
there might have been a big speculative
account TO be liquidated. and the effect
might have been decentralization instead
Of tower of strength in the market

benjamin Woodruff. Of Post & Flagg,
said:
The market rallied fairly well during
the final hour. partly due 10 the fact
that urgent liquidation Of the high-priced
securities seemed to have run its course.
and a moderate volume of short covering
by floor traders vino had apparently
foreseen a declining market. While can
scarcely predict a much better range Of
prices prior 10 the holidays. I believe the
market has reached a point where the
large financial interests are perfectly
willing 20 protect it in a more substantial
manner than has been the case earlier in
the week"

LOCAL FINANCIAL. GOSSIP.

Operations on the Washington Stock
Exchange yesterday were The smallest
recorded in many months, the trading
being confined practically to Washington
Railway and Electric common and
Mergenthaler. Brokers are complaining
that money for speculative purposes is
hard 10 get, the situation here being more
or less a reflection Of that in New York.
As a consequence trading is confined to
the narrowest limits on actual buying
and selling orders. The railway stocks
sold 40 shares at Sc and Mergenthaler
from 1893 to l9S 10.
