LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

AS the stock exchange in the coun-
try open today the Washington Exchange
was distinguished. and 1t might be also
said the same could be said of the course
of prices. The latter was certainly up
ward, and while there was not great
deal of trading done, still that was not
because of lack of good prices. The bids
were made and at better figures than
were dealt in yesterday and the only thing
lacking to make a record of business done
was the securities
The most notable advance of the day
was in the figures for Mergenthaler. At
the close of the market yesterday 200 was
bid. an increase over the bid of the
previous day of half point. Today.
however, the bid rose to 2l2, and only a
limited amount was found to be for sale
at that figure. The transactions occurred
after the call and the bid remained at
that level.
There are several reasons given why the
market price for this stock has advanced
steadily during the past few days. one
Is the excellent business done by the COM
pany during the past year.
It is also said it is probably the 1nten-
ton to buy the English company. and in
th?- case the money will be secured by
the issue of treasury stock the privilege
of buying which being assigned to the
stockholders.
Owners of the common stock of the
Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany had the chance today to get 80 Tor
their stock. The bid reached that level
after sales of ffty-share lots each on a
range of from Ban to 35. These transac-
tions appeared to cover all the available
stock in the market at those prices How
ever, the bid at the close was not main
tanned at that range, but dropped back
to 341a, with 35 the asking price.
The preferred stock sold at So, and then
the bid for it was S4h, with the asking
price S5A.
No change of consequence was made
in the other figures in the list, but those
that were made were in line with the up
ward tendency of the market.
The two traction companies of Chicago.
now operating under city ordinance
which gives them monopoly of the trac-
ton business for twenty years, with five
cent fares and universal transfers, are
now said to be reaching a period when
a consolidation will be made and one cor
poration formed.

critics amounts to $61. 641 600. The gross

science Of af%ter-dinner speaking-post-
prandial oratory, as it is called, is
largely dependent upon e%xtraneous

state of receptivity on the part of the
audience. After a man has drunk,

a couple of glasses of %claret, and four
or five or eleven glasses of cham

usual two classes of all oratory, to-

been admittedly gotten up beforehand

speaker has learned by heart and re-
