LOCAL FINANCIAL GOSSIP.

Prices look better on the Washington
Stock Exchange. and brokers have as
.sumed general feeling Of hopsfulness
that point will soon be reached in the
gradual upward trend OF prices when the
stock viii come out and a larger volume
of trading win result.
Yesterday the transactions were small,
except Washington Railway and Electric
4 per cent bonds. which sold ss.5e4 at IS.
with one bond at an eighth better.
An effort was made again to bring out
the common stock Of this company. the
price being bid up from . to q, where a
sale OF 25 shares was effected. A broker
who wanted two shares paid a higher
price. and 26 was bid for a large lot of
the stock. The bidding failed 20 bring out
the stock, and that too, when it is known
that there is much Of II IN various places
for sale. The only inference is that the
holders intend 10 hold on until the price
goes, say, above 30. when it is predicted
the selling viii begin.

in the case Of Potomac Fire Insurance

BRYCE TALKS TO EDUCATORS.
Saws Industrial Schooling MOST
Needed by the Negroes.

MEMPHIS, April 24.EThe British am
ba ssador the Ri. Hon. James Bryce. was
the principal speaker at last evening
session of the Conference for Education
in the South. He said, in part:
Much of the agricultural work and
much Of the other work of the south has
to be done by them. For your welfare as
well as theirs. for the peace of the coun-
try as we'll as its prosperity. it is essen
tial that the colored people should receive
prOper instruction. The view that this
instruction should have an industrial
rather than a literary direction seems to
he a sound view. But II does not ex-
clude the supplying OF further instruction
for those who have superior talent: and it
must include an adequate provision for
those who are to be the helpers and
guides of the colored masses.
"when / see what has been done for
negro education and what negroes have
done for themselves in acquiring property
and building up homes during these forty
years. there is no ground for discourage
ment.
.'You desire to have men whose wisdom
and skill fit them for the work. now far
more difficult than II ever was before, of
administering the government of this gi-
gantic republic and the states that COM
pose II. You desire to adorn the republic
with the glories of literature and science
and art. For this purpose you must have
not only schools. but universities also
There are plenty of universities in the
north. and many excellent ones. But you
are entirely right in desiring to have
plenty of colleges and universities here
also and have TO improve still further
those which you have

American frigate Chesapeake. which was
taken by the British ship Shannon June 1.

The announcement of this gift contained
the first intimation that Mr.. Astor was
the purchaser of the flag at the auction
sale. Ii was stated at the time OF the
auction that the agent who had secured
the trophy had acted on behalf OF an
American. and Il was understood IL was
to be sent al once to America.
The news that the flag is to stay In
England causes great astonishment to
Londoners.
The bugle upon which the famous
Balaklava charge was sounded. as well as
some Crimeen medals. auctioned at the
same time as the flag. also were bought
by Mr.. Aston and were presented by him
to the same United Service Museum.
