Today was a record maker at the stock
exchange, having the smallest amount
of business that has been credited for
some time past. During the call five
twenty -five-share lots of gas stock at I'll Z
represented all the trading that was done
Yet there was quite demand for ths
securities, especially in small lots, ano
the figures were also maintained at the
prevailing level and in some cases slight
advances were made. This was notably
the case after call. when the bid for the
common stock of the Washington Rail
way and Electric Company advanced t'
~. a point and quarter above that made
on the call. and the bid of 40 for the pre-
ferred stock was renewed.
1t is apparent to observers OF the mar
ket that there is not much STOCK Tor sdie
at present prices. but for some reason
which is not accounted for there is re-
luctance on the part of prospective buyers
to test the matter. and certainly the
holders of the securities have not shown
much disposition TO meet the buyers
The wide separation of the two classes
necessary for trade has been the iea-
ture of the local market for some time
past. and as far as present indlca tons
go there does not appear much lnciina-
ton to make a change.

Mr.. HILL NOT AN OPT|MIS1
RAILWAY MAGNATE DISAGREES
WITH COMMISSIONER LANE.
Facts, He Says, Will Speak Loud
Enough Later-Declines to Dis
cuss Minnesota Decision.

James ]. Hi cannot see the bright rays
OF roseate dawn breaking over the rail
way situation. The arbiter Of the railways
Oh the northwest is in Washington on
business, preserving an incognito as abso-
iute as possible for such a man. but he
consented to talk for little while today
TO reporter for The Star.
Mr.. Hill would say nothing whatever
ABOUT the Minnesota railway decision.
The courts have said all that there is
TO say on that subject" was his reply TO
question. But the speakers eyes
tW1nkled behind their bushy brows as If
much might be said II printers ink had
not been invented
Outlook for Railways.
On the subject of the general outlook
for the railways Mr.. Hill was more COM
municative. however.
Did you read the statement issued yes
terday by Franklin *. Lane of the inter-
state commerce commission. telling how
wonderfully prosperous the railways were
in spite of all the talk to the contrary"
Mr. Hill was asked.
Il did read it," Mr.. Hill replied. "and
should advise you to pin that article right
up on the wall, where you can see 1t every
day. Then follow the accounts OF railway
dIIdlrS Tor the next three months daily
and see how the facts and the optimistic
views compare with each other. All that
l can say is just there. We railway peo-
pie are in no position to do any too mucl
talking just now. We prefer to let the
facts speak for themselves-and they will
speak loud enough"
Your lines and the Pennsylvania sys-
tenn have always been noted for the care
they take of their men, Mr.. HILL" the re-
porter said but how about the Penn
sylvania laying off so many of its men
just now"
Facts Will Show.
"That is merely an additional sign OF
the general situation Mr.. Hill replied.
"The Pennsylvania road would not lay of
any of it's men if it could possibly afford
to keep them. but it can't afford 1t. 1t
isn't learning enough to do SO. It's the
same general situation everywhere. 1t Is
too heavy a draught on optimism to see
this condition of affairs In bright light.
The facts will make their own reply. II
may take little time. but the answer Will
come sure.
The regular question as to the cnance
for young man in the northwest was not
asked of Mr.. Hill. for which relief the
railway man seemed thankful. and he
turned back to contemplation of the rail-
way news in his paper with the cheerful
ness of one scanning an obituary column
