PRICES ARE LOWER.
Resumption Of Navigation Has Effect
on Oyster Supply.

The arrival of the oyster running vessels
E. r. 8. Dougherty, Lydia Vernon and
Goldie Co.. with cargoes of Potomac BIZ
valves aboard. has lowered the price of
oysters considerably, and incidentally caus-
ed the oyster wharf to wake up from a
sleep of several days. The boats were
brought into port last night by the tug
Camilla, which found them in the vicinity
Of the Wfcomlco river. They have aboard
in all about LOO bushels Of fine oysters,
and the prices asked for them wholesale
range from 10 cents to 81 per bushel This
is a drop of from 80 cents to 80 cents per
bushel on the prices prevailing last week,
The demand for oysters Is reported to be
excellent. and It will be but a day or two
before they will be sold out at the oyster
wharf Another tow of oyster-laden boats
Is expected to arrive here within the next
forty-eight hours. There are twelve or If
teen vessels down the river loading for
this market and as the ice embargo is prac-
ticaily over vessels with oysters aboard
will be sailing into port within the next few
days.

EQUITABLE RUMoR DENIED.
Insurance Company Will Not Go Int
Receiver's Hands,

NEW YORK. February 19.-Rumors were
circulated in the financial district today to
the effect that receiver was about to be
appointed for the Equitable Life Assurance
Society. When the reports were called to
the attention of Paul Morton president of
the society, he made the following state
ment:
"Mr. Morton pronounced the rumor Of an
impending receiyership for the Equitable as
not only baseless, but ridiculous. The per-
son who put this rumor in circulation
doubtless used as basis the recent deci-
sion of the circuit court of appeals revers-
ing Judge HazerS decision sustaining the
society's demurrer in the case of ]. Wilcox
Brown against the society, in which Messrs
Dos Passos brothers are of counsel for the
plaintiff. The decision Of the court of ap-
peals in this case Is upon a very narrow
question and has not the remotest bearing
upon the society's solvency. Mr.. Morton
added that he knew of no corporation in
the world which was more solvent and less
likely to go into the hands of a receiver
than the Equitable
John r. Dos PasSoS. who will represent
]. Wilcox Brown and other policyholders
that have brought suit against the Equi-
table Life Assurance Society. said he could
fully confirm Mr.. Morton's statement.

Copper Weak and Active,
NEW YORK COTTON.

NEW YORK. February 19-The cotton
market opened steady at a decline of sa8
points under a renewal of near month lo-
uidation. with March selling at go and
about 20 points under May on the call.
Large estimates for the days receipts and
lower cables were the bearish features in
connection with the fear OF March notices
next Tuesday. but at the initial decline
decline there was enough covering and buy
ing by spot people to rally the market or
points from the lowest. Later a sharp
break in the New Orleans market caused
renewed weakness here.
The market was less active late in the
forenoon with prices about steady at a net
decline OF Sac points on the old crop. while
new crop months were about unchanged to
/ point lower.
Spot cotton quiet: middling upland, IL 90;
mlddIing gulf. IL %.
Estimated receipts at the port today So,
900 bales. against $500 last week and

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The volume of the current transactions In
local securities does not indicate any great
amount Of interest in them on the part OF
the public, and IL this was a permanent
condition, 1t might be concluded that the
corporations issuing such securities were
not. to any extent. a part of the business
life of the community. However. there Is
q very widespread and general interest on
the part of the public here in the manage
ment and success Of all these enterprises
This is shown to some extent by the ex-
perience Of the publishers of the handbook
or manual which is issued under the name
Of Washington Securities.
The first edition Of the book, under the
supervision Of Thomas L. Hume and Eu-
gene E. Thompson. was issued two years
but it was found that the demand was suf-
fcient to warrant a larger edition, and 1t
Is proposed to print about thousand
copies Of the edition which Is now In press.
and which will be ready for distribution
in the course Of few weeks.
According to the current gossip a good
deal of attention is being given to what
will be done in regard to the officers of
the Washington Railway and Electric
Company when the voting trust expires
next June and the stockholders will come
directly into control of the company. 1t Is
by some that the actual control
of the company is now in Washington
people, and while there is no positive evil
dence of that, owing to the fact that the
common stock not being q dividend payeT,
is not always transferred in the case of q
sale.
At any rate efforts are being made to
locate the stock, and the inference is that
1t Is being done in the interest of some
one for the presidency OF the company.
The name Of Mr.. Loeb, the secretary of
the President Of the United States, is still
mentioned in connection with this place,
and II Is believed by some that the situa-
ton has been brought to his attention. 1t
is not thought that any definite statement
will be made in regard to his attitude In
the matter until the ownership of ma
fixed upon some one for the head
of the company.
There Is also an idea that there Will be
others named, and it is the general pur-
pose of those who take an interest in the
matter to have the choice fall upon man
who will enjoy from the outset the conf
dence of the community where this prop
erty, 1T is believed, If not now, certainly
will in the future be mainly owned.
There was nothing of consequence that
developed at today's meeting of the stock
exchange, and the trading did not amount
to much as far as volume was concerned,
nor were there any changes made in the
quotations that were of any special sig
nificance.
