LOCAL FINANCIAL GOSSIP.

About the only interesting thing yes
terday on the Washington stock Ex-
change was the trading in Washington
Railway and Electric preferred. which
sold up rapidly. 10 a single broker, from
60 to 81. jumping a whole point on the
last sale for a fractional lot In all III
shares OF this issue were sold.
The rise in price Of this stock has been
anticipated, and yesterday it was ASSOC
ciated with the rumor that William Loeb
Secretary to the President was to be
president of the company under The reor-
ganization. Earlier in the year. when this
announcement was made with some POSI-
tiveness. the fact was disclosed that the
interests which We're supposed 10 be be
hind Mr.. Loeb had gotten control Of the
common stock, but that there were
enough votes in the preferred shares 10
defeat the scheme. If the holders OF that
stock sought to exercise TIE power so
vested. Since that time there has been
much quiet buying UP Of the preferred
stock. and it was remembered yesterday
that much Of it had passed into one
brokers' hands. This probably accounts
Tor the revival OF the rumor OF Mr.
Loeb's connection with the company.
which may or may not appear in the
election OF the new directory next month.

THE BOOM OF CHAMBER FOR
PRESIDEfIr.

Nothing really ought to surprise one
In the days before n presidential cam.
paisn, hut the fact that the boom OF
Lieutenant Governor Chanlor of New
York, for the Presidency. should DO
taken seriously. Is the cause. of con.
siderable wonder by all who know
the man. Personally MIR. Chanlcr is
n most charming man and one whom
his f.dcnds are always glad to meet,
but us presidential possibility, ho
seems almost impossible. Hn IS
clover but in the light of presidential
timber ho Is out of the question. Cor
tain Tamnany politicians are entering
into an aggressive campaign for Mr.
Chnnler for reasons best known Ia
themselves, but 1t hardly seems pos
siblc that they are sincere in the mat
ter. 1t is claimed foa Mr.. Chanler that
he represents the conservative In
forests of the party. the same clc
mcnt That placed Judge Parker on
the tickot-thc Bcmonts the Shoe
hans and other New York capitalists
who are opposed ut all times to

BY Mr.. Chanlcrs friends great
stress is laid upon the fact that he
was elected licutenant governor al
the same time that Governor IIughc.
was chosen the Republican Governor
of Ncw>Yorl1 State. That Is true, but
these sclf-samc boomers fail to stat,
that the entire State Democratic tickle,

OF Hearst. They also fail 10 stat,
that tho people OF New York Stat,
stood ready to elect Democratic chic
executive, because of the cxt,ayaranc,
OF the Republican machine under Tho

Hearst was tho one man who coult
not carry the state last fall. This ms
scrtion is borne out by tho fact thai
