Potasimite is new explosive, per- fected in Monterey, Mexico, the first used with success upon the construc- tion o Mexican Central railroad branch with wonderful results, for it is pronounced safer, cheaper and more powerful than dynamite. Those explo- sives based upon nitrogen produce gas that necesitate abandoning closed works, such as mine or tunnel, dur ing the explosion, and the laborers can- not return to work for long time thereafter, depending upon the facility for carrying off the gas. Potasimite is said to produce no noxious gas, the only precautlon necessary in it's use being that the workmen get out of the way of the flying particles of blasted rock.

MERGENTHALER
SAVED THE DAY
Washington Railway Com
mon Failed to Hold Its
End Up.

The peg at 40 was Withdrawn today
on the Washington Railway common
stock at the meeting OF the local ex-
change and on rather free selling the
price broke a half point. For a time
the selling was fierce and only by the
most sustained support on the part Of
its friends was the figure prevented
from a still further drop. But they
rallied strong, and although IL required
the purchase of nearly 1900 shares it
was held around S91z up 10 the the clos
ing hour. The preferred dragged,
while the bonds were sold down TO so
making a new low record.
Since the announcement Of the bond
issue of the Capital Traction Company
there has been little or no interest IN
the stock and the bid price has steadily
gone down until today 135 was the best
that could be secured. The opinion IS
advanced that the money is being re-
tained by WOuld-be purchasers for in
Vestment IN bonds
Amid the general gloom appertaining
TO a falling market. the jump OF 3
points on Mergenthaler was a most graft
lying feature The sale today at 210
brings Il back 10 practically the high
price paid before il became ex-dividend.
and is 5 points higher than sales made
earlier IN the month.
The remainder of the list was sstaIe
nat, and Improbable" Mitchell Mining
was in the running to the extent OF
I'd shares, but the interest was not OF
an aggravated character.
It is suggested that at least affairs
are as lively here as on the larger ax-
change in New York. which appears to
nave fallen into dullness The money
market is given as a reason for the in
eTtla. and II is said that it is somewhat
difficult TO procure money for specula-
tive purposes.

Great interest Is manifested in the

Washington people were reported as
