sion trading was more active and prices

The better feeling in London and the re-
duction OF the Bank Of England rate Of

the market was again under pressure,
particularly in Union Pacific, Reading,
Copper. and Smelters. There is praeti-
cally no news except routine announce
ments as to earnings. election of officers,

of to-day's selling was putting out short
contract by professionals, but it must
also be admitted that the market gives
evidence of being left TO itself and free
from inside support. except to check too
great a decline at any one time. Undl
more energetic support develops and a
mere decided policy of advancement is
adopted on ale part Of the various inter-

LOCAL FINANCIAL GOSSIP


That there IS an effort, more or less
persistent. to depreciate the price Of CAPT
tai Traction stock and enhance that Of
Washington Railway common has been
made evident this week on the Washing
ton Stock Exchange. Zach day when
Capital Traction Is called bids aye made
below the marke. price, and when it be-
comes apparent that there is no stock for
sale at the low figures, It is gradually
bid back to about 10. Yesterday small
block of the stock was offered. ana some
time elapsed before the sener could get
the bid up to the market price. AppaT-
emily, no one wanted 1t, and, according 10
report, less than half of the block held
for sale was taken.
In sharp contrast with operations on
this stock, Washington Railway common
started at the selling price Of the previous
day and gained fraction on sales of l45
shares. Moreover. brokers we're anxious
to buy IT, and after the stock in hand was
exhausted bids were made for 1t In large
lots as high as Al. The activity IN this
stock is difficult 10 explain. unless Il be
said that some large interests here as
elsewhere, are making an attempt to get
control Of the stock pending the coming
June elections Of the company, which has
been frequently rumored in financial cir
eles Of late.
Though little OF the stock was sold,
there was the same active demand for
gas shares that has been manifest for
/ several days.
/ Nine hundred shares Of Mitchell Mining
were sold around 49, and after call an
option for 300 shares was taken at 5a4.
The annual meeting of the Lanston Mo-
ln0type Company was held in Alexandra
] yesterday. The annual report showed an
/ increase in earnings of S300,g0 over the
previous year The capital stock OF the
company Is 5000. 600, and it is figured out
that the company Is now earning about %
per cent on its investments.

..The market opened strong on better
prices from London. and continued strong
during the early hours Of the session.
There was more cheerful feeling
abroad. impaired 10y a reduction Of the
Bank of England rate 10 az per cent. but
this feeling was not reflected here, for the
reason that call and time funds have
been obtainable for some time past on
easy terms. London cabled "a few buy
ing orders. but 3t limits below our open
ing. 1t is realized, OF course, that tie
home market is dominated to a large eX-
tent by professional transactions, and for
that reason any pronounced movement Is
not looked for TN either direction. with
the present uneasiness concerning the
copper metal situation and the manifest
lack OF confidence in the Eries and South
ern Railway shares, the large traders are
not inclined 20 be optimistic. Moreover.
as we approach the Presidential election
period, uncertainties connected Herewith
NAV be disturbing 10 business interests.
The market in my opinion, is essentially
a traders affair. when good stocks should
be purchased on all recessioHs for short
turn only. Traders are satisfied with
small profits. The tendency is toward d
lower level. cheap money TO the contrary

In 1879 Mr. Lewis came to Denver and
with his keen business sense continued to

In the absence of Dr. W. S. Friedman,
who attended the meeting Of the U. Of the
A. H. G. at Atlanta, Georgia, Rabbi ia
cob H. Kaplan of Albuquerque, New
Mexico, introduced in few well-ftting
words Governor Buchtel, who delivered
an inspiring sermon to crowded temple.
The governor showed that in spite Of
superficial observations to the contrary,
the modern man has deep-rooted faith in
God, never for moment allowing him
self to be worried about the motions Of
the infinite hosts Of heavenly bodies, any
irregularity in one of them might be
>fraught with dire disaster to the whole
universe. And yet, in human life, we
have become an over-nervous people in
worrying about human problems, due to
a lack of faith in God s wisdom. 1t was

E. SCHREIBER.

Intense feeling over the murder Of
Teve Bokser and Max Weissblei among
people Of their race has taken form
among the Jewish people in a concerted
effort to raise large sum Of money for
the prosecution of their murderers. A
great mass meeting was held in West Col
fax, at which nearly 5000 persons were
present.
"We are American citizens" one
speaker exclaimed "We observe Ameri-
can laws and customs. We ask only to
be permitted to retain our own religion,
which the law guarantees us, and to live
in our own way unmolested. And since
three Of our countrymen have been muir
dered, it is time for us to unite and aid
in the enforcement of the laws which are
our only protection.
The coroner's jury brought in a verdict
holding that Weissblei and Bokser came
to their deaths from injuries inflicted by
Harold McKnaw and William F. Gilmer.
The finding says the killing was felon-
ious
A number of murders and outrages
have been committed on the Jews of West
Colfax, and it is, therefore, high time
that the laws Of the state and of the city
should be strictly enforced to the end
that each man may enjoy liberty and the
pursuits of happiness under the full pro-
lection of the law. 1t can not always be
said that murders and outrages are COM
mitted because Of religious prejudice,
but whatever the cause, the evil should be
corrected. Far better is it, as the mother
of one Of the young murderers herself
confesses, to commit boy over whom pa
rents have lost control, to reform school
than to wait until too late. The organ
lied gang Of toughs in West Colfax
should be handled by the police with
strict severity in order to prevent repeti-
tion of such lawlessness! raT5on
