GAIT HOUSE.
Famous Old Hosiery Still
Maintains Its Splendid
Traditions.

There are many travellers who
reach Louisville who know little
about the city except that it has a
famous old hostelry, the Gait House.
1t has been famous for more than
fifty years, not only for its many
important guests, political confer
ences that have ben held there, the
beauty of the fair women who have
danced in it's spacious halls, but also
for it's splendid architecture. Both in
side and outside it meets the APP
proval of the trained connisseur of
art, and its commodious lobby is one
of the handsomest in thte United
States. It's culinary department has
always been looked after by noted
chefs, and in every way its manage
ment has sought to make it the equal
of any hostelry in America.
President George T. Cross and
General Manager John Shaughnessy
have even tried to exceed their

PRINTERS REJOICE.

1t is announced that F. C. Nune-
macher, head of the Main-street
printing house that bears his name.
has withdrawn from the local
Typothetae, and the announcement
was hailed with delight by all union
printers. They entertain the hope
that this withdrawal viii be followed
by his making his plant union shop.
The striking. printers recognize him
as doughty fighter. and if he comes
back to the union, with which his re-
lations for many years were both
pleasant and profitable. the boys
who contended against him will fight
just as earnestly in his behalf.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

What has been aptly characterized as
the usual reflection o. New York condi-
tions on the local stock market was well
illustrated on the Washington change at
the regular noon meeting today, when
there was a general 81 mp in most of the
strictly local issues. One prominent broker
said afterward the drop in Prices was to
be expected today. because the Washing
ton market almost invariably is twenty
four hours behind that Of New York, and
the slump in Wall street seemed to touch
bottom yesterday.
On the local exchange yesterday there
was disposition to keep we'll away from
possible commitments for Washington
asking prices were separated usually by
from one to two full points. Liquidation
in a small way was apparently the order
for today, and Washington Railway pre-
ferred was at the center of the firing line:
A week ago this security was offered
and sold as high as "a: the offering yes
terday was OFF two points, and today
prices fell with bump ito 80. Nearly BOO
shares changed hands in fifteen separate
sales. The stock opened at S112 and
dropped by half-point bids to ~, 135
shares being sold at that figure.
Ten shares of Gas sold at 81. There
seems to be a play for position In Gas,
and there is undoubtedly big demand for
the stock, accompanied by a desire to
keep the market down as far as possible.
For the first time in many weeks a quo
tation was put on the board for Riggs
Bank The stock was offered at $50. with
the best bid 100 points below at $50.
