LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

Mergenthaler goes up so easily these days
thar most any advance seems be taken
as a matter of course, and In addition very
little stock thus far has been brought out.
Yesterday the stock sold for 200. while to-
day 213 was paid for ten shares
During the past two weeks the total adj
vance has been ten points, but the amount
of stock that has come on the market dur
ing that time has been comparatively small,
especially as compared with similar move
ments in this stock in the past and what
usually happens in the case of such activ-
ity in the average stock.
But few lots were sold today, not more
than four in all. A bid of 211 was made for
100 shares, and there was no Offering OF
sue. lot Fifty shares. however, were to
be had at PIT. At the close the bid for the
stock was 212 and the asking price 215.
There seems to be no idea where this up
ward movement is going to Id or Is there
any change in the theory as to the cause
Of it.
The railways were neglected. The hid
for Capital Traction stock rose to 143 with
out bringing out any Offering at less
price than 143h, while the figures for the
common and the preferred stocks OF the
Washington Railway and Electric Company
were on a somewhat lower level than that
of yesterday.
Since the middle of the present month
the changes, as indicated by a comparison
of the asking prices then and now. In the
case of the two stocks, shows decline OF
from quarter Of point to point On

the preferred stock was SO, and today it
was IS. while for the common stock on
that date 4Ok was asked, and today the
asking price was 40

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February 2S.-Todays stock
market, with the course of the business ses-
sion, recovered the average decline which
was scored in prices yesterday. The vol
ume of business was maintained upon
about the same scale of activity then con-
Quoted and the trading seemed to be again
mainly of a professional and manfpulative
character There were no better-d defined
explanations of the rise In prices today
than for their contrary movement yester-
day. Money market conditions were in fact
harder and more active, but little attention
was paid to these circumstances, 1t being
recognized that irrespective of the future
course of affairs In that direction today's
tendencies were mainly due to the shifting
about of loans on call incidental to the
close of the month.
Some bullish capital was made by the pro-
feSsioral element out of the closing or the
local investigation Of the Hartman system
by the interstate commerce commission, ana
also out of the early expiration of the pres
ent changes There was little definite news
with regard to the status of the Aldrich
finance bin In the House Of Representatives,
but Washington dispatches continued to
predic. with confidence the ultimate enact
ment of the measure.
The London stock market was generally
= strong, with however, some irregularity In
the American department. induced chiefly
by the weakness in the local dealings yes
terday. The Bank of England's rate of dis
count was left unchanged, at per cent.
and the banks weekly statement showed a
fall in its proportion of reserves to liabilities
to 30 per cent. against As per cent last
week and as compared with AZ. II per cent
in the corresponding week of last year. In
spite of the banks large intake of gold
from the open London market, its bullion
holdings increased only f53. 3S5. on account
of the heavy shipments to South America
and other points.
Recovery in Prices General.
Aside from the further proceedings at
the investigation of The Hartman prop
critics. there was very little Of interest re-
latlng to one stock or another other than
of such routine matters as dividend an
nouncements and statements of earnings.
The recovery In prices was shared in by
all quarters of the market, except that in
the early dealings several stocks were sub
jected to rather marked pressure. Striking
cases in point were Southern railway pre-
ferred and American Smelling. Little that
was really definite accompanied the de-
clnes in either stock. and both issues rail-
lied sharply from their epression during
the first hour.
