LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The trading was not very heen at to-
days meeting of the stock exchange
Perhaps it might be said it was the usual
Saturday market. Exactly why any par
ticular day in the week should have GER
tain characteristics takes its place In the
long list of things about the stock market
that are uncertain.
The trading in securities was of no spe-
cial significance. The buying continued to
be fairly good for the Washington Rail-
way bonds at the same level where 1t has
been for several days past-at ssh and
s614. The supply Of bonds at the latter
figure was not exhausted.
Capital Traction stock was to be had
in what appeared to be fairly large guam
titles at fractionally below 131, but the
quotation prices advanced somewhat over
those Of yesterday, with but slight trad
Ing.
The disposition seemed to be to sell the
Washington railway preferred stock on
lower levels than have been recently
reached. and while the recession was
small the selling movement at lower
prices was more or less noticeable
Gas stock sold as high as 6s. which is a
late high record for this security. and at
the close 1t was I be had at 6SA, with
the bid at 67&. This marks no change as
compared with the ngureS or yesterday.
except the bid is an eighth of a point
higher.
One of the brokers had 100 shares of
Georgetown Gas stock for sale and he
succeeded in getting rid of seventy-five
shares to one buyer at "a. He refused to
come down in his price and there was no
further demand for the stock at better
figure than 531s.
Some few transactions were recorded in
the case of the stocks of the National
Safe and Trust Company and Of the
United States Trust Company and at the
higher levels which have been reached of
recent days in both of these securities.
The proposed sale by Mr.. Chapman Of
his seat on the stock exchange to Robert
n. Harper has fallen through.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 5.-This morn
'ing's stock market showed that same
degree of irregularity which has been
exhibited practically upon each Saturday
since the election. At the same time no
stock could be designated as being &C
tualy weak, notwithstanding that in the
carly part of the business session de-
clines of as much as one full point were
scored by number of the active issues.
At tho outset of the trading Reading
Southern Pacific. Union Pacific. Rock Is
land. Amalgamated Copper and the Steel
shares reflected quite effective pressure
while on the other hand there were
further advances in such stocks as the
Wabashes. Missouri Pacific. Chesapeake
and Ohio. Colorado Southern. Western
Union and Colorado Fuel and Iron. The
traction shares were dull, but compare
lively steady
With the course, of the morning there
came over the Philadelphia wires re-
vival of the perennial. but always inter-
estins, report that the managers Of the
Reading company were conducting plans
for the immediate retirement Of the sec
ond preferred stock. as was provided for
In the reorga nization plan of twelve years
ago.
Reading second preferred rose rapidly,
perhaps in connection with this rumor.
and Reading common also scored very
sharp recovery. 1t is possible that on
the present occasion there may be more
substance to the rumor in question than
there has been previously. but if such Is
the case no authoritative information
could be obtained locally.
Rally Stimulates Market.
The rally in the Reading shares had.
however. a stimulating effect upon the
market at large, and led to a considar-
able increase in activity also.
Apart from this Reading rumor there
was virtual absence of any real news
or gossip of interest relating to individual
stocks. Even yesterdays more extensive
advances remained unaccountad for.
Preliminary forecasts of the weekly
bank statement pointed to a considerable
reduction of surplus reserves, but the
outlook in that respect did not appear to
constitute a factor of much influence in
the trading In securities. The usual
weekly statistical returns setting forth
the prevailing conditions Of the countrys
trade were more varying exhibits than
have been submitted in some weeks.

CREW GOES DOWN WITH SHIP
20 SAILORS PERISH IN THE
GULF OF ST. LAWRENCE.
Steamer 500 City Sinks During a
Blizzard OFF Newfoundland.
Wreckage Washed Ashore.

ST. JOHNS, Newfoundland, December
5.-Wreckage which has come ashore d,
Cape Ray leaves little room for doubt
that the sturdy little steamer 500 City
which for twenty years piled as an excur-
sion vessel on the great lakes. went down
with her crew in the gale that dashed the
Newfoundland coast for two days this
week.
The steamer was in command of Capt
John G. Dillon of Brooklyn, who was for.
merly commander of the United States
government transport Missouri A wife
and three small children awaited his re-
turn home. The exact number of the
crew Is in doubt. 1t is known, however
that the crew was recently increased to
twenty-eigd1t men.
Was En- Route to New Orleans.
The 500 City was recently sold by the
Indiana Transport Company to Felix
Jackson of Velasco. Tex, and was being
taken to New Orleans, where it had been
planned to put her in service between
that city and Texas ports. She carried
no passengers.
The 500 City sailed from Ogdensburg
N. Y. November IL. She was last re-
ported at (kucDcc, november IA. A week
later. when nothing had been heard, much
anxiety was felt, and Wednesday last
the vessel was listed by the maritime ex-
change among the missing.
Tell-Tale Wreckage.
A deck cabin and fittings and sixteen
life preservers came ashore yesterday
These all bore the name 500 City OF
other marks Identifying them as belong
ing to the lake steamer. During the day
life buoys. deck boards and other gear
unquestionably belonging to the steamer
were washed in.
The storm that wrecked the 500 City
was one Of the severest Of recent years
It began Tuesday night with northerly
gale that continued for forty-eight hours,
assuming at times the shape of bliz-
zard.
The same gale caught and drove to
pieces no less than ten Newfoundland
fishing vessels. and while seven Of the
crews escaped, three. with total of sew
enteen persons. persisted. The 500 City
was caught in the Gulf of st. Lawrence.
