LOCAL FINANCIAL GOSSIP.

Possibly a better feeling existed on the
Washington Stock Exchange yesterday
than the previous day. but the trading
was small in volume, with prices lower
on most stocks. Capital Traction went
OF the record with sales at IA, Washing
ton Gas at 5ssz, and Mergenthaler went
off nearly two points from the high level.
while Mitchell reached 81 on sales, with
bids below that figure. With wide differ
ences between the bid and offered prices
Of most stocks there is little chance for
sales, except 10 fill actual orders or dis
pose of stock that must be sold.

]. b. Weed, of Dick Bros & Co.-.The
market. after an irregular opening, sold
off sharply during the frst hour with de-
clines up to two points In some of the
active issues. The Morgan stocks were
wen supported during the morning, but
suffered with the rest Of the list in the
late weakness. Reading at the end of the
first hour was sharply turned after selling
21z points below yesterdays close and
rallied sharply, finally reaching ia, a
rally Of about points. This caused a
scramble of short covering and the gen
eral market recovered a couple of points.
Great feverishness was seen. however,
and prices nuctuated violently, being
strong and then equally weak. The last
hour liquidation again set Ia and was
helped by bear pounding, which caused
prices 10 break sharply In number Of
directions, many new low levels being
reached in a number Of issues. The close
was weak, with prices AT about the bot
tom, and extremely active

MEASURES THAT ARE STANDARD
Much Care Taken to Preserve Them
Correctly.

Correctly.
A gallon is exactly ten pounds or
distilled water; so when housewives
say "a pint's a pound the world
around" they are mistaken. The i'm
perial standard yard, which is the
same as our own, is the distance be-
tween two fine lines on bar OF
bronze, measured at 62 degrees Fab
renheit. The bar is kept mounted on
eight rollers in a special steel safe in
London. The standard pound is kept
IN a silver-gilt box contained in
bronze box, the top Of which is secure
ly screwed down and the whole placed
in a special compartment of the same
safe. The German metric system
took the place of more than twenty
local measures. The Hesse-Darmstadt
foot was less than ten inches, the
Schwarzberg-R udolstadt foot more
than fifteen.
