HEARD ON 'CtiANGE AND STREET
Chose the Right Man.

When the Union Trust and Storage
Company was organized in the closing
days OF 1893. the incorporators cast
about for good man to I'LL the office
of secretary and their choice finally
rested upon George z. Fleming For
more than twelve years ne had been
associated with the Real Estate Title
Insurance Company of the District.
where he had not only become thor
oughly acquainted with real estate
values of all kinds. but had gained an
extended acquaintance with large
class OF people who had great confidence
in his opinion on ali matters pertaining
to his official position. That he was the
man for the new organization was
strongly apparent. and his services were
quickly secured. That the choice was d
wise one the success of the company
under his excellent management has
thoroughly proven

ty-nine years ago ne came TO Washing

Disappointing Conditions.

The local stock market for the past
two months has been simply a sugges-
ton of its past greatness. that past
which extends only 50 far back as last
spring and sumner. when daily tran
actions aggregating close to a quarter
million of dollars were a common occur
renee.
The reasons for the failing of are
o-fold-flrst. the natural exhaustion
consequent upon the overproduction OF
that period. and. second. the cIoseness
of the money market. This latter cOndl-
ton is the one that has given the brok-
ers and their customers most uneasiness.
The banks have been averse to extend
ing accommodations TO speculative Dor
rowers and those already in the game
have been obliged 20 do considerable
financing to extend maturing obligations
considered and the commission brokers
decline good business that might be had
II proper arrangements could be made
with regard to loans
For this same reason the New York
market which has provided liberal ac-
Commodations. has attracted number
Of traders who have turned their stteu-
/ ton TO the larger field 10 the detriment
! Of local business. A few bad days in
Wall Street and local securities Will
again appeal 10 the less yeBturesOme
class. who will feel that if slow. they
are at least sure and more profitable in
the end
The Washington times., 1906-02-11
Times Have Changed,

1t is but a short time ago that a sale
of a 500-shaTe block of a iow-priced
railroad stock on the local board would
only have whetted the appetite OF buy
ers Tor even larger amounts, and bids
for 500 and l.GG0-share lots would have
followed each other in rapid succession.
It was, therefore. a matter of some sur
prise when on one of the days of the
past week one lot OF that size filled up
the measure of the demand and the bid
ding fell away to comparatively small
proportions. One OF the reports among
the brokers was that this was but
demons tratton In force by the seller to
effect the market sufficiently to enable
the carrying out of that much-cherished
Dian 10 trade ii block Of one railroad
stock for a still larger one OF another
OF lesser value. Thus far. the Street"
is still trying TO figure ii all out with
but partial success. as the parties to the
trade are saying nothing and saving

with his purchase. and already sees

MergenthaIer Immovable.

One of the remarkable conditions Of
this very remarkable state Of the local
market has been the slight variation and
the lack OF speculative interest in Mer-
Senthsier during the past two months.
Since December 10, on which date 1t be
came eN the Jenuary dividend which
as usual was accompanied by an extra
one OF . per share. making in all Sl5
for the entire year. the selling price has
not varied more than - per share On
that day the stock sold at 1S1. later on
going fractfonaliy lower. since which
time about 500 shares have been traded
in and IN highest price has not been az
much as , points above the opening al
though II IS rapidly approaching the
next dividend period. In other days Il
was a prime favoTite for the traders
and fluctuations OF several points in a
week and frequently in one day were
not UsUsual The explanation given
now is that it is held more largely by
investors who are getting a splendid re-
turn on their money and do not care 10
part with il. They say IT has been
taken out of the domain of speculation
and is now held by investors only-or as

Directors Opposed to Increase.

One Of the latest reports is to the effect
that a payer is being industriously cir
culated among the stockholders of the
Bank Of Washington for the purpose of
securing signatures to proposition
looking to the increase of the capital
stock from $500 900. as now standing. to
$500, 900. AS several of our banks have
adopted the idea. il is thought to be the
part of wisdom for this old and tried
institution to follow the same plan. 1t
Is understood. however that several Of
the directors are much opposed to IL
and claim that. as the bank has a sur
Plus largely IN excess of It's capital. there
is no necessity for the enlargement at
this time As the stock Is closely held
by old families and estates. who have

That Annual Dividend.

It is with US again. This time it is
an assured fact. Good. reliable peo-
pie assert II with much positiveness and
are willing to wager real money on It.
And they believe it, too. The recent
Improvement in the price OF the stock
is quoted as confirming their position.
The time is set for April, IS usual. which
is the regular period of the annual meet
Ing Unfortunately, April has been the
month named in several other years of
golden promise which have failed of full
fillment But conditions are changed,

chimes largely, which means that they
are making money and the stockholders
will reap the benefits for Which they
have patiently and, to their credit be it
said. confidently waited for several
years Probably no corporation ever
had such unfaitering and undaunted ad-
herents. who, believing honestly and
fully in the final success Of the machine,
have waited faithfully for the golden
harvest which they felt assured must
come And if but half of tie reports
are true. it has arrived.
