From the Boston Transcript
Bulgaria's flag is so new that the Turk

blank shots turned back steamer flying
it, The official realization Of events Is
often slow in coming. When John Quincy
Adams sought to enter Berlin as Ameri-
can minister to Prussia he was held up
at the gate and the officer OF the guard
had doubts about letting him In. never

than his superior. knew all about the

Turkish gunners have reasons OF their
own for Official ignorance which the
Prsssian lieutenant could not plead.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The prediction OF better prices and an
advancing market generally after the
election Of Taft has thus far been veri-
fled by the course both OF the general
and the local stock market. Today,
while the amount of the business done
on the Washington Exchange did not
run into a large volume, the levels In
values reached yesterday were maintain
ed, and IN some cases exceeded.
The actual trading done was centered in
two securities. namely. the preferred
stock of the Washington Railway and
Electric Company and in Mergenthaler
The former sold in fractional lots as
high as SIN. while the bid for, nifty
shares rose to 81. an advance over the
bid Of yesterday OF nearly a point ano
a half The asking price today was e77s.
while yesterday 1t was offered at 81.
The higher prices did not find much
the advance in this security. which has
been in progress recently, has not been
accompanied by great deal Of trading
At the beginning Of the trading in Mer-
genthaler it seemed that only one-share
lots were in demand. Quite number
were sold on a range of from 215k to
215la. but when the bid went to 216. an
advance of 3,s points over the closing bid
of yesterday, three ten-share lots were
while the lowest offering was 215h.
After the call there was sale OF ten
shares of telephone stock for which par
was paid. and the bid was renewed by the
buyer for more at the same figure.
A small block of Graphophone preferred
stock also found a market, namely. ten
shares at So
1t is the opinion of those who are more
or less familiar with the operations OF
the Treasury Department that In short
time fifty millions Of Panama bonds will
be offered for sale. This conclusion Is
based upon the knowledge that large adj
vances have already been made from the
funds of the government to meet the cur
rent expenditures for this great work.
and 1t is thought 1t will be replaced now
by the sale of bonds.
1t Is also the opinion that there Is a
good market for the bonds at the present
time. for while there is no need of addi-
tional circulation on the part Of the banks
yet the new Panamas can be used to re-
place state, city and railroad bonds which
are now accepted as security for public
deposits. but at only 20 per cent Of their
par value, while the Panama bonds can
perform the same service and will be
taken at par.

The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-12-20

Galveston, December 19-(Special )-That President Roosevelts dicourtesy to four lady horseback riders in Rock Creek park was uncalled for Is the opinion of at least one member of tho party who hap ,pened to be Miss Henrietta Greer daugh- ter fo Judge II. W. Greer, a prominent democrat of Beaumont, Tex. The Pres ident did not strike Miss Greer's horse with his riding whip, as the Washington press dispatches report, but the Pres ident's mount did crash against the mount of one of M is.ssrSes.s laGs eoinpanions with force enough to staaser the horse and to wrench off the sdfr,lp from the iady's saddle. The President was recog- nized as he H-hirled in his saddle and challenged the ladies for having dared to pass his party. Awed by the nations executive the four ladies could not reply, and the President made no apology for his rude act which the ladies attributed to either bad horsemanship or intention.
