LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The Easter holiday period for the mem
bers of the Washington Stock Exchange,
as far at least as holding the daily ses-
sions is concerned. this year will include
Friday and Saturday of next week.
1t is not supposed that any large amount
Of business will be lost by the insertion
of these mondays, as they might be called,
for the reason that the current Of business
has not reached such a volume as to cause
a jam in the stream of daily operations
should the flow be interrupted for 9 day
or two. There is hope that such stage
in the return to a greater activity and
in the recovery from the late financial
panic will soon be reached, but the fact
of the matter is that 1t has not been at
tanned as yet, although 1t must be said
that ENCOURAGING progress has been made
in that direction.
The men most interested in an improve
ment of existing conditions are not talk
ing very much or indulsing in Specula-
tions as to the causes Of the slack times
or why the rebound is not more elastic:
They are simply keeping a cheerful. hopea
full outlook and attending to such business
as comes and are prepared to handle more
If 1t Is to be found. and this 10 the atti-
tude not only Of brokers but also Of bank
ers.
The latter are letting 1t be known in a
quiet way that they have money to loan
and at 5 per cent. q reduction In the rate
which recently prevailed here and does at
this time to some extent. There Is a dis
position to help along and do what Ia pos
sible to bring about an Improvement in
business. 1t ID evident from what is said
by those who keep track of the course of
things on the larger market of Wall street
that a good many who in the opinion of
such observers are too much occupied
with formulating and expressing their
views on the situation might do better by
attending to the business right at hand.
It is said by such critics that the dis
cussion of such issues is unsatisfactory.
and for that reason there is such a wide
diversity Of views. which In the analysis
of causes for the existing condition attrtb-
ute 1t to almost everything from the pres
ence of Mr.. Roosevelt in public life TO the
failure up to now to revise the tariff. It
is advised that instead of theorizing on a
subject about which no one seems to have
any clear knowledge that it would be
much more helpful II every one who has
anything to do would go at 1t and do 1t.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. April ia distinct shift
Ing of particular interest was observed
In todays dealings upon the stock ex-
change. All of the local traction issues
were notably conspicuous, and for the
time being occupied the positions pre-
viously held by Reading and Union Pa
ciic. 1t could scarcely be said that any
very novel developments attended the
special animation in the local traction Sc
curities.
Broadly speaking. the idea that the
stoppage of the transfer system will re-
dound to the benefit of all of the COM
panies concerned was the chief argument
advanced in connection with the rise in
these stocks. Otherwise, there was little
Of interest to be deduced from the days
transactions.
American stocks were quoted at irregu-
lar price changes in the London stock
market and operations here for foreign
account we're again upon a negligible
scale. The weekly reports OF the mer.
camille agencies upon the condition OF
the country's trade were no more decisive
than they have been for a month or two
past

No Interest in the Bank Statement

While the outlook for the weekly bank
statement indicated favorable exhibit,
that document likewise attracted little
preliminary discussion.
The stock market was generally firm
and the only real feature of interest was
the transfer OF active speculation into
new quarters as noted above.
The stocks which have been notably
conspicuous in the trade for many weeks
past continued firm and suffered only
in comparison with the shifting of activ-
ity into other directions.
The situation relating to Erie affairs
was still one of the most prominent topics
of discussion, but was seemingly less
Of a market influence than at any time
within the past fortnight.
