LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The securities Of the Washington Railway
and Electric Company again today at the
meeting OF the stock exchange were the
principal factors In the trading. While
there was not as many OF the bonds on the
market as was the case yesterday, yet the
level of prices was lower, and the range
was from SOS to 80. Yesterday the range
was from SIX to 81. At the close the bid
did not rise above 791s.
The common stock also sold at less fig
ures than was done yesterday. Today the
prices were from 1919 to 39h, while yester-
day there We're no sales under 40. The
trading was limited. and at the close the
bid was 1914. and the asking price 39%.
while yesterday the closing figures were
297s bid and 40 asked.
Mergenthaler continued to be In demand
at the recent higher prices and ten shares
sold for 21O, with 200 bid and PHI asked.
The Discrimination to trade, as shown in
the general course of the more active
stocks. had further Illustration in Capital
Traction stock, which after the call was
offered in quotation lots with considerable
freedom at 1876, which was the bid price
during the call. and yet no bids Of any sort
could be secured for the stock.
The entire FIRST floor of the building OF
the Second National Bank is to be occupied
by that institution as soon as the necessary
changes can be made so as to make the
space suitable for that purpose. Up to this
time the banking offices have been confined
to the north half of the bank building, 5oo
7th street.
The other part has been used by the
Washington Six Per Cent Building Associa-
ton. which has nov leased the McGoWan
building on street near eth street. This
change will provide the room for the ousl-
ness of the bank. the need for which has
been felt for some time past.

BULLS AND BEARS

Special pispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 17.-There was gem
eral disappointment yesterday over the
failure of the stock market to advance
materially. 1t was believed that the re-
coyery which started the afternoon be-
fore might continue through two or three
days. and that from the high level ex-
pected to be established within that period
there would be substantial reaction.
Those who watched the transaction most
closely yesterday said that the extent of
the buying power was apparently decided
ly limited and confined almost entirely to
traders on the floor. 1t seems to be
doubted now quite generally that the mar
ket will show any great activity in the
near future. and it is thought that 1t will
continue to fuctuate within a narrow
range, responding quickly to both favor
able and unfavorable developments.
-
1t is easy to be seen from conversations
had this morning with prominent men rep
resenting various important lines Of
business that they are watching the situa-
ton very closely for signs of a falling of
In orders. They all declare that so far
they have been unable to discover indica-
tons OF any material change in the volume
of business in the near future. 1t Is a
fact that the representatives Of many OF
the largest railroads and industrial COR
porations are surprised that business con-
tinues to keep up a the high rate at which
it has been running for many months. A
banker. in discussing the situation, char
acterized the continuance of business at
the high level as an American wonder or
miracle.
A railroad official in speaking of this
matter this morning said that while the
steel manufacturing companies report
record volume of orders and that the out
look Is for continuance of business on
large scale, he believes that the action of
the United States Steel directors on the
common stock dividend should be taken as
the best proof possible of their conviction
regarding the steel business for the next six
or nine months. If the dividend is in
creased, he says, it may be taken as clearly
demonstrating their confidence in the fu-
ture Of the iron and steel trade. If 1t is
allowed to remain at 2 per cent he believes
that it may be safely assumed that the
controlling interests are not certain regard
Ing the future of the iron and steel bust
ness.

RICH MEN.
Denver Priest Would Bar from
Heaven Those Depressing
the Poor.

Denver Colo, May 2.-Not only
John D. Rockefeller and Andrew Car
negie, but James j. Hill, who has
given to st. Paul magnifcen cathe-
dral, and Thomas Fortune Ryan, the
New York multi millionaire Catholic,
| also the donor of a splendid cathedral,
are in the class which Rev. Father
William Organ, pastor of st. Leo s
Catholic church, would bar from the
hope of heaven if they do not attempt
restitution of that which they have
acquired by expressing the poor.
In remarkable interview the Catho-
lie priest, a 'friend of the working.
man" who ministers to the spiritual
and temporal wants of humble parish
toner's in the Cherry Creek district,
says the money kings could not honest
ly have acquired their immense for
tunes.
And he adds that it is not stealing
for the starving to take for his need.
Nor is it theft, he says, when laborer
secretly takes that which is owned
by an employer who coerces him to
work for less than Just wages by using
the labcrer's necessity, leaving free
dom of contract impossi BILE.
He thus enunciates what be saws is
one of the cardinal principles of the
Catholic chulch:
"If man has become immensely
wealthy by taking that which is not
his own, he must seek to make restitu.
tion to the individuals whom he has
