LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

No change was noticed at the meeting
of the stock exchange today in the
tendency developed in the past day or
SO in the railway securities. The upward
course which was in progress In tne
Washington railway securities mas been
reversed slightly and lower levels nave
been reached.
Today. for example a hundred shares
of the preferred stock sold for ~ ana
fifty shares went to the highest Diooer az
quarter of a point above tnat. IneIe
did not seem to be any great pressure 70
sell, and certainly the support given 10
the market was not specially married.
The change in the management when
took place Saturday was preceded Dy al
advance in prices without bringing out a
recession has set In which In the case OF
the preferred Is something over Two
points above the selling price of today.
No explanation has been given for such
movement.
The new management has taken hold
of the business of the company. Mr..
Norment. who is the active head Of the
system. Is said to be at the car barns.
az the end Of East Capitol street, as
early as o'clock each morning. and
the other members of the board are fanil-
iarizing themselves with the affairs OF
the company.
There is very little talk in regard to
the presidency of the company, and it is
represented by those in the management
that this is not a matter that is pressing
for immediate settlement. 1t is the belief
of some that the board of directors will
be enlarged before long by the choice OF
additional members. The board has the
power to increase the membership. and the
opinion seems to be that 1t will be done.
1t does not necessarily mean II new
men are brought in that 1t will be done
for the purpose of securing the man
wanted at the head of the system.
Mr.. Norment was asked today II he had
any announcements to make relative to
appointments, and his attention was
called to the fact that he had made no
statement since Monday, which was
really the first working day of his i'm
cumbency, when he informed the members
of the exchange that he had appointed
Mr.. Fraser as motorman.
Mr.. Norment said Mr.. Fraser objected
to the publicity given to his announce
nlent, SO he would not continue to give out
such matters. 1t is therefore Impossible
to say whe ther or not any other members
of the exchange have been given similar
places to that which was bestowed upon
Mr.. Fraser.

ings and Trust Company have elected the
following directors: Woodbury. Blair, >.

Further Money Relaxation.

Tho only change to be noted In money
circumstances was toward further relaxa
ton hut money brokers reported that {
very strict scrutiny was still being ex
nrcised upon the quality of the collatera
proffered. and that while on approved
securities time loans could be readily
negotiated at i1a per cent. no such terms
could be obtained by borrowers upon less
highly credited issues.
The steerling exchange market was
again exceedingly strong. but the outlook
for exports of gold is still regarded
as remote The London stock market was
irregular. Copsols and American stocks
were firm, but British railway shares were
unfavorahly affected by a reduction OF
per cent in the dividend on the stock OF
the Great Eastern Railway Company.
Very little was done. however. in the
local market for foreign account. Trans
actions in the bond market in certain di-
rections attracted about as much atten-
ton as did the dealings in stock. At one
time or another during the day pro-
nounced weakness was apparent in Inter

heavy during the forenoon and showed an
irregular disposition toward recovery after
midday. Even in the two periods in ques-

quent and apparently Insignificant changes
in tone already mentioned.
Active interest in the railway list Gen.
tered upon the same group OF stocks
which have furnished the bulk of the
dealings for a long time past, and the
same was true of the transactions in the
industrial group.
