EUROPEAN TURKEY MISSION.
Resolution Passed at the Annual
Meeting at Salonica.


SALONICA, May 20.-The annual meeting
Of the European Turkey Mission. in session
at Monastir. Turkey. May 9. passed the fol-
lowing resolution:
I'VE. the members Of the European Tur-
key Mission, assembled in annual meeting
at Monastir. are gladdened by a letter
from Treasurer w. W. Peet. at CONSTANT
nope. announcing that an imperial trade
has been signed granting to American in
stitutions in Turkey the same privileges
which were given to the institutions of
France and other European powers six
years ago.
while recognizing that with more ener-
getic backing from the home government.
the result might have been attained more
speedily, we would express our apprecia-
ton of the patience and persistence with
which Ambassador John G. A. Leishman
has striven to secure it. and We heartily
congratulate him and ourselves on the sue
cess which has crowned his Efforts
I'VE also congratulate Mr.. Leshman on
his triumphs in getting our legation ele-
waited to the rank Of an embassy, which
doubtless materially aided in securing the
recognition of our institutions. and which
will be permanent benefit to American
institutions in Turkey for all future time.
Furthermore We extend to our ambas-
sador sincere thanks for the energy and
efficiency with which he has protected the
agricultural and industrial institute at Sa-
lonica. the girls boarding school and the
orphanage at Monastir. and the boarding
school for Albanian girls at kortcha (Gor-
itsa) during the long delay of the Ottoman
government to grant the recognition and
privileges to which they were entitled by
treaty.
1--WE recommend that copies Of this min
ute be forwarded to Ambassador Leish-
man. to the State Department and to the
Associated Press"

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS

The only security on the list OF the local
exchange that seems capable OF inducing
any business at this time Is the stock Of
the Washington Gas Company. Today,
however, after its rather spectacular per-
Torrance Of yesterday 1t was inclined to be
tired and languid.
After paying as high as seh at the meet
ing OF the exchange yesterday there was
no one present today who wanted to give
more than 655s for gas stock. Some stock
was offered for sale at 66A, and bid was
made Of 66 for an option on 100 shares.
But no eagerness was shown to trade
either way. 1t was evident there was
tired feeling, but whether IT was merely
state of mind. matter OF temperature
or due to some other accidental cause was
not indicated by anything that took place
during the trading.
number Of the brokers sat up and
took notice during brief exposition OF the
views of a well-known financier who Is not
connected with the gas company any more
than he is with a number OF other impor-
tant local enterprises about which ne Is
well posted
The per cent certificates of the com
pany had been reached In the call and the
bidding was proceeding on the same low
level that has prevailed recently, ,aa Satn
there has been an improvement since sat
urday, when the best bid for them was
1O1. Yesterday 1O2 was bid, and today that
bid would have been renewed, only IN
few concise sentences this autnoriy en-
would not be redeemed, but would continue
until the close Of the term hxeo In the
bond, which Is fifteen years from the close
Of next year. as the issue Is q hVe-
twenty.
That seemed to be good enough news TO
one of the brokers to offer better price,
and so he advanced the bid to 103 Inc
asking price was 1O5.
There was no trading. and, In fact. put
few of the bonds have come out since tnis
toboggan course has set in, but 1t appears
to those who paid in the neighborhood OF
100 for the bonds that the shrinkage mas
been considerable.
Another feature of the days trading Is
to be found In the wide separation In the
bid and the asking prices of all the street
railway stocks, that is. those OF the Two
principal systems of the city. 1t Is quite
evident that there Is no demand for these
stocks, and at the same time there Is no
pressure to sell.
At the annual meeting yesterday of stock
holders of the Franklin Fire Insurance
Company, the following-named gentlemen
were elected directors for the ensuing year:
w. Taylor Birch, Charles 8. Bradley. John
Cammack. Ralph L. Gait. BENJAMIN 8.
Graves, Benjamin w. Guy. Rudolph Kauh-
manu. James L. Norris. James F. oyster,

NEW YORK, June 4.-Athough some
spectators were inclined a week or ten
days ago to believe that the stock market
would soon be better, the closest observers
now are disposed to believe that still more
time will be required to clear up adverse
factors in the situation. These do not In
clude the uncertainty as to the crops.
which. OF course, will serve as q potent
check on speculation until 1t is superseded
to some extent by definite information.
One student of the situation says that OBJ
viously difficulty is being experienced by
those who are endeavoring to clear up some
unfavorable features Of the Wall street
situation by the fact that there Is only an
extremely limited market for any but the
high-grade securities.

A representative of the second largest
corporation in existence said this morning
that SO far as his observations go (and his
position enables him to keep in exceedingly
close touch with general business) there
Is no material change in the volume Of
trade as whole thus far. In some lines,
he says, business is somewhat quieter, but
on the whole 1t continues active.
The movement of iron ore from the Min
nesota fields already promises to be the
largest for any given season. He says that
the iron trade at Cleveland Is active, that
the banks are apparently very well sup
piled with funds, and that they are willing
to accommodate all legitimate lines Of bust
ness. He admits that the crop situation Is
now critical, and says that east of Chicago
considerable part of the ground ordinarily
planted to corn has not yet been seeded.
He believes, however, that the probable
further curtatiment of business will be
beneficial in the end. and is strongly Of the
opinion that the extreme dizziness In Wall
street will be far more beneficial than the
interests most directly involved have been
able to realize thus far.

The Erie statement Of earnings for April

which few inside interests have always
claimed 1t could be made. 1t Is not unlikely
that In the near future 1t will be learned
that the Erie has obtained all the money
needed to carry out its improvement plans
for some time to come.
A man who Is directly involved In clear
Ing up the Pere Marquette situation said
that probably Within a week or ten days a
pays affairs would be made. He claims
that settlement has been definitely ar
ranged and that all that remains to be done
Is = work out various legal details.

lieved that he will go to South America as
their representative to start several
branches of the Carnegie Foundation. The
opinion prevails that in spite Of Colombia S
president Mr. Mendoza will be sent to Span
