LOCAL FINANCIAL GOSSIP.


Support. which has been lacking on the
local railway shares for some time. was
given yesterday by a strong coterie Of
brokers on the Washington Stock Ex-
change, and when the session was over
a much better showing vas made in
these issues. Capital Traction was not
allowed TO fall from the quotation price
Of the past few days When Washington
Railway and Electric common was reach
ed it was marked up from 80 to 35. where
40 shares changed hands. The pro-
ferred stock, which sold the previous
day at &C, was put back 10 70. and the
trading Of the day proceeded on that
basis. After call it was l point better.
800 shares finding taker at that price.
The session was, taken all in all, a
jubilant meeting. The bulls were in the
ascendant, and supported the local stocks
with courage which argues well for the
future.
Several explanations were suggested
for the sudden turn Of affairs. but the
real reason was that a number of the
brokers got together the previous even
ing. talked over the situation at some
length. and came to the conclusion that
the local railway shares were selling at
too low prices for the good Of all con-
cerned. especially those who had loans
upon these stocks, and il was agreed. so
It is alleged, that prices should be nut
back TO the real values Of the stocks and
maintained there.
f. Southard Parker, president of the
Metropolitan National Bank. who has
been spending several weeks on his farm
at Mifhintown, Pa, was in his seat on
the Exchange yesterday, an interested
spectator Of the operations which put the
local shares Of stock back nearly to the
quotations they had been when the banker
left on his vacation three weeks ago.

The market to-day does not show any
material change. although with fluctua-
tions during the day the tendency has
been upward. Were it not for one or two
sore spots In the situation, Ike the dlffi-
culties of the Interborough-Metro
Company. and the fact that a great city
Ike New York has to raise its interest
rate to IA per cent to get any bids for

Last Quarter Hour OF the Market.

New York. Aug. 27.-Except for the
usual characteristics Of traders market.
there was little IN the course Of business
on the stock exchange to-day &c attract
the attention and prices OF the active is
sues, which at the opening showed little
or no change from last nights close, were
still practically unchanged at the end.
Whatever small change there was in
quotations at the opening of business was
In the direction of improvement which,
however, except in the case of two or
three inactive stocks, was no more than
fractional. but business had been under
way only j short while when d small VOL
ume OF belated liquidation carried Third
Avenue down 10 a new low record for
the present movement. and caused a re-
currenee Of weakness IN the Erie issues
on rumOrs that the dividends on the pre-
ferred stocks would be passed.
The decline in these unsettled the whole
list for a time. and caused considerable
recessions from the earliest quotations.
but on the decline there was a decrease in
the supply Of stock offered for sale, while
the demand increased largely as a result
Of the anxiety 10 lll requirements for the
covering Of their contracts. The market
was repeatedly subjected 10 pressure, but
ia no instance did this have the effect Of
forcing the holders Of real stock to let
60, and when It was seen that shorts
were eager buyers, some Of the large proc
fessional operators resorted to manipula-
ton TO make them pay as high price
as possible for what they were obliged to
purchase.
Recovery Comes at Close.
From the end of the first hour until
about fifteen minutes before the close,
there was no pronounced movement in
either direction. In the last quarter hour,
however, the whole list under the leader
ship OF Canadian Pacific, recovered its
early losses. on buying, for the most part
in 1o0-share lots, which showed total
absence Of anything like aggressive op-
eTatons to move prices upward. The
rise seemed 20 be based entirely on the
fact that liquidation had ceased, and that
there was little or no stock for sale at
the prevailing quotations, while the short
interest continued long, II the borrowing
demand for stocks could be taken as a
measure Of It
The time Money market was quiet aud
q shade easier than yesterday. with trades
for foreign exchange so low as TO make il
improbable that any large amount of gold
would be shipped TO Europe in the imme-
dlate future. In spite OF the fact that in
the prevailing rates of exchange, there
was no profit on the transaction, one of
the international banking houses engaged
100000 gold for export. but this. 1t was
explained was for special purpose.

Skin Disease from Birth-Fortune

II have a cousin in Rockingham Co.

Her father had spent a fortune on
her to get her cured and none of the
treatments did her any good. Old

safe, sure and sneedv.

No external remedy ever yet de.
vised has so fully and unquestionably
met these three prime conditions as
successfully as Allcock's Plasters.
They are safe because they contain
no deleterious drugs and are manu-
featured upon scientific principles OF
medicine. They are sure because
nothing goes into them except ingre.
dents which are exactly adapted to
the purposes for which a plaster is re.
CURED. They are speedy in their &C.
ton because their medicinal qualities
go right to their work of relieving
pain and restoring the natural and
healthy performance of the functions
OF muscles, nerves and skin.
Allcock's Plasters are the original
and genuine porous plasters and like
most m%eritorious articles have been
extensively initiated, therefore always
make sure and get the genuine.

Comment That stuns.

The marquis of Lansdown, leader
of %unionist peers in the British parlia-
ment, speaks rarely but always with
effect. He revels in grave sarcasm.
On one OCCASION Lord Crewe, the lib
oral leader, made a speech On a subject
which he desired to leave a matter
for open voting among his followers.
Lord Lansdowne congratulated his
friend on his eloquent speech. Il
have followed it," he said, with earn
est attention not only on account OF
the Importance of the subject but also
on account of the noble lords judicial
attitude. I admired his earnestness
and eloquence, but what impressed me
most was his impartiality," A pause,
Eyes, until the last minute | did not
know on which side Of the fence his
lordship was coming down."

HE WANTED LIVE NEWS.
Correspondent Had No Time to Waste
with Vice President.

Vice President Fairbanks stopped
a newspaper man the other day, and
good-naturedly asked explanation of
an incident which happened years
ago. On that occasion Mr.. Fairbanks
and the correspondent were chatting
pleasantly, when suddenly the latter
moved away to meet Senator Chand-
Ter of Maine. The vice president said:
81 have always had great curiosity to
know why you deserted me that day"
The newspaper man hesitated for a
moment, and then replied: To tell
you the truth, Mr.. Vice President, you
are a mighty dry source Of news. You
may have a nose for news, but /
doubt it; at any rate, you lever give
up any. Now, when a newspaper man
is cunning for big, live news he hasn't
got time to stop and exchange small
talk with a man, even if he be a en-
ator, who would not know the price Of

smiled. Il thank you for your frank
ness" he said. Il see l shall have to
