The preferred stock of the washington
Railway and Electric Company sold today
at fhe meeting Of the stock exchange with
out the seml-annuai dividend of III Per
cent When the prices of yesterday in the
transactions in this security are compared
with those paid today 1t win be seen that
the stock sold at better figures today.
1t was the general prediction that this
would be the case, as the market for the
stock Is improving, and the demand for 1t,
especially for Investment purposes, Is look
ed upon as one of the features of the mar
ket.
While there was no need shown for any
special support for the stock at this time,
yet the principal dealer In it appeared In
that role and made the highest bid for large
blocks. The bid for such blocks reached
sos. and two 500-share lots were taken at
that figure by the broker in question.
While there was comparatively but slight
sale-a condition which has been phase of
the market not only for this stock, but for
others on the list for some time past.
In the case of the common stock of the
company the principal dealer was also
rather bullish and was willing to take large
blocks and made bids for them, the high
est point reached being Al.
There seemed to be no disposition to sell,
and the better prices failed to bring out
much of the stock. In the case Of the pre-
closing bid price of yesterday and that of
today was y points, while the dividend
amounted to 21s points
The common and the preferred issues of
the stock OF the American Graphophone
Company came in for a share of attention
during the trading. which was rather I'M
usual. for these securities have not been OF
late very active on the local board owing
apparently to lack of interest in them.
Recently the par value of the stock was
changed from $40 to $780, and the trans
actions in both issues today were on a
somewhat higher level than the current
quotations The common stock sold on a
range of from As to 1875 and the preferred
at S71.
The former pays a dividend of per
cent and the latter Z per cent, and there
have been issued a million and q half OF
each.

SENATE AND
Bill to Regulate Rates win Probas iy
Be Shelvel.

The railroad attorneys and man
ayers have changed front again. Wlea
the Seuat committee On interstate
commerce adjourned last n il
was announced that all the Republic
an members of the committee were
agreed on the details OF the report they
would make. which woull be opposed
10 rate regulation. III the meantime
Senator ElkinS, Senator tovaker and
others have been trying u convince
President Roosevelt that his recon-
nendation u the last congress 70 give
the interstate commerce commission
power TO fix Z reasonable rate in place
OF 4 rate decided as unreasonable is
impracticabl>thar is. awith such Il
law the power OF the Republican lead
e-s 10 eSJort campaign funds from the
railroads would be diminished or ex-
hsuSted.
II IS now stated that another long So
rieS of hearings by the senate inter
state commerce committee is probable,
which would indicate that the railroad
lobby have counted the noses Of the
members OF the house OF representa-
uveS and they ind thar , majority Will
vote To pass L bill such Is the prest-
dent will recommend. as they did at
the last session. To gain time in the
senate Will therefore. ba everything
Tor the railroads. as by putting II ac-
ton there ocher legislation can b. fore
Ell 10 the front that will lead 10 pro
longed debate. thus making il possible
10 again Sheive the railroad rate bill.
The railroad managers are certainly
asking their friends il tie senate TO
take desperate chances politically by
thus pro2-asrtlartns and opposing
what -he Eea. majority Of the people
are demanding. and some OF them will
De likely u fail by the vavStde. The
railroads and corporations have been
the secret influence that prevented L
constitutional amendment tor electi1s
senators b direct vote. Legislatures
can De Influenced and corrupted to

OF trusts AMI corporations TO represent
their states. Tha people are more diff

the evidence Mr.. Lawson gave d year

surance officials and their connection
with "trenzied finance" but it has now
been proved our OF the mouths OF the

the collection OF the enormous corrup-

partially proved by the disclosures of
the large amounts subscribed by the

Tainted Politicians,

Probably Congressman Babcock
knew Of the coming exposure of his
receiving thu tainted money from the
life insurance companies and that was
the reason be declines to be reelected
chairman Of the Republican congress
sional committee. YET. as Mr.. Cortel-
you is still chairman of the Republican
national committee and was made 4
member Of the cabinet into the bar
gain for his arduous labors in expeud-
ing much greater contributions from
the life insurance companies than Bah
cock did, the scandal will hang on to
the party skirts in any event. Until
full restitution IS made 10 the widows
and orphans that wer= plundered by
these contributions President Roose-
Telt must feel quite uncomfortable
with this faint attached to his election.
