. LOCAL FINANCIAL GOSSIP

Two things Of interest happened yes
terday on the Washington Stock Ex-
change
One was the announcement OF the in
tention OF the Mergenthaler Company
TO pay both the regular quarterly and
the extra dividends. aggregating ~ per
cent on the capital stock. There was a
little fear IN Washington that the extra
dividend might be passed this year, ow-
ing to money stringency and the Of
iloial announcement OF the opposite was
distinctly a matter Of rejoicing on the
part OF the stockholders here.
The other happening was The unload
ing Of l,I66 shares OF the stock Of the
Columbia Fire Insurance, and it's pur-
chase by single broker The selling
was undoubtedly inspired by good profits
The holders who sold bought the stock
4 below $40 a share and sold IL all yester-
I day at $ll
The motive Of the buyer is not so
clear, but II is thought that at Sll a
share there VIII be margin OF profit IN
/ II when the affairs OF the company are
! hquidated, If the voted intention Of the
directors is carried out. On the ether
horn Of the dilemma, a. the stockholders
decide to change their options and keep
/ the company intact Il is argued that in
I the reorganization OF the concern. and its
/ possible consolidation with some other or
others Of the local companies the stock
VIII be appraised at something over 81
| share.
In the opinion Of the best-informed
| brokers the motive of the buying yes
terday was more speculative than a
move 20 gather Ia the stock for a coup
when the annual meeting Of the stock
/ holders is held
The other trading Of the day was in
| scattered lots OF Railway preferred Mer-
genthaler, and Second National Bank
The aggregate transactions OF the day
were $500 in bonds and 1,221 shares OF
stock.

was made at Y per cent. but by noon the
rate had risen as high as % per cent.
The usual effect was felt, stock prices
going down as the price Of money went

A good deal of the selling Of Great
Northern was handled by a house sup
posed TO represent a bear operator who
achieved considerable notoriety in the
past nine months but who has always
been supposed 10 have owed more 10

1t was the one or the other. or both

that he succeeded in putting out some

buyer than to the seller. Commission

said ii always yielded when they tried
20 sell, but strenthened up as soon as a
buying order appeared. As a rule they
were Of the opinion that the position in
the stock was not very strong. but that

Nothing in the market in the first hour
attracted as much attention as the sell
ing Of Amalgamated Copper by a house
long supposed 10 be favored with pOr-
tion Of the business of certain Standard
Oil interests. This made the traders
bearish on the stock: possibly that was
just what it was expected 70 accomplish.

ON SERIOUS CHARGE.

Ed. Samuels, an alleged horse
thief is being held In the Galena
jail pending the fling of inform
alton on that charge. Samuels
was caught at Baxter late Satur-
day night by Constables James
Legget and Joe Powell, who state
that the prisoner has expressed a
desire to plead guilty. The story
of Samuels' troubles is that while
working in the mines south of
Baxter Springs he hired a horse
from a party at that place with
the understanding that the ami
NAL was to be driven to Baxter
Springs and back. When Samu-
els and his partner reached Baxter
they concluded to 60 to Joplin,
and insead of leaving the animal
at that place drove him to Galena.
When they arrived here the horse
was placed in Beers stable, but
shortly afterwards was taken to
Windle's barn and offered for sale.
1t is said that a check was given
in payment for the horse but Sam
uels could not be identified and
returned to Baxter Syringe, leav.
ing both horse and check. The
Baxter Springs officers were noti-
fed and held Samuels until the
arrival of the Galena officers.
A message from the owner of
the animal stated that he would
arrive in Galena at noon to swear
to the complaint against Samuels.
