WASHINGTON STOCKS
DULL AND HEAVY
Not Much Disposition to
Trade One Way or
the Other.

Washington securities have been de-
cidedly slow and very steady for two
weeks or more. The sessions Of the
Il cal exchange have been duh and IN
interesting with a disposition 10 80 as
little business as possible. and 20 let
well enough alone. The Gas opera
tiOns, or rather the operations in Gas

been cut short by the condition Of az

Washington financial anIlr5 are in a
very comfortable condition. with checks
bringing cash and cash go;ng back
into the banks in the usual ordinary
course Of business. but the unQuestioned
tendency has Been 10 restrict specula-
tive aud investment operations within
as narrow a range as possible.
That Washington IS one Of the most
favored cities m the Union goes with
out saying. The city is practically on
cash basis; that is, the limit of credit
is asked and credit Is afteen TO thirty
days. The great army undcr the en-
plOy OF the Government Will always
lave money, and this money viii seek
channels Of trade and banking facili-
ties just as sOCn as received. therefore
Washington banks have the cash while
other towns have TO subsist until the
stTingency subsidies, on clearing house
certificates, on fiat money, and on
promises.
NO lime IOI ReaIiLdLlOu.
The present is no tine for realiza-
ton. People with stock that they want

chance necessity demands liquidation.
Money IS so scarce in other cities that
IT commands a good price, 1nG despite
tho fact that there are many low
priced bargains on Wall Street and on

man. The engineers date their senior
ity from the time the man becomes an
engineer.
In it's contract with the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers, the company
gives jurisdiction over engineers to
that brotherhood, and the mpan
could make no move in the matter.
The Engineers Brotherhood faced the
proposition of protecting those engi-
neers who had taken the places of the
strikers. To all purposes, these engi-
neers who had gone out on a strike hau
lost their seniority to the engineers who
took their places.
The officials of the Firemen's Broth
erhood having receded from the de-
mands they made when the strike was
declared, or the demands on which the
strike was declared, felt that if there
was a settlement they should protect
those engineers of their organization
who left their places, and secure for
them their standing on the seniority
lists at the time of the strike. It was
a very delicate problem to be solved,
and it is not fully solved yet, but has
been left to the general committee of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers to decide. 1t was learned tonight
that the agreement covering this basis
of settlement had been signed by the
officials of the two brotherhoods and
that the fremen will return to work
tomorrow at noon, pending the solution
of their seniority by the committee Of
the locomotive engineers.
