LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

Business on the local stock exchange

for judgment. However. observers of
current conditions. while admitting the
lack of buying. also point out that the
of prices.
1t is also claimed there is a good de-
mand on fractional concessions from
the quoted prices.
The principal security in the record
of sales today were the bonds of the
Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany, which sold in lots at S1h. At
the close the bid was an eighth of o
point less and the asking price an
eighth of a point in advance of the sell.

The common stock of the company
sold at 43, and it was to be had at that
level when the trading stopped.
Nothing was done in the case of the
co-preferred stock of the company except
to advance the bid to 81, which was less
that the selling price of the day before.
The asking price today was 911s an ad-
vance of an eighth of point over the
best recent figure paid.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

CHICAGO, April 21.-Following the
sensational break in wheat yesterday
the market opened nervous today. July,
which was subjected to the greatest sell
ing pressure on the previous session, was
in good demand by shorts. which caused

half hour. A part of the gain was again
lost. however. on renewed selling. The
market opened rather weak, with prices
haA higher to "a lower. with July at
1.12ss to 1.12A. The easy tone at the start
was due to weak cables and additional
rains over the wheat belt in this coun-
try. After advancing to 113Aa1 13N

IN LABOR CIRCLES

The accomplishments OF the executive
council Of the American Federation at
it's recent sessions in this city are still
the subject Of comment in local labor
circles. President Gompers reported upon
the situation of the International Brother
hood Of Electrical Workers and the seced-
ing faction from that body, and read the
report showing that more than forty-
that is. nearly all of the former seeding
locais-had rejo'ned the brotherhood; that
the leaders of the seeding faction were
holding out the hope that the present
session Of the executive council would re-
verse the decision rendered last January.
1t was unanimously decided to reamrm
and emphasize the decision rendered by
the council and to urge all electrical
workers to organize, and the organized
electrical workers to become part OF the
American Federation OF Labor through
affiliation with the International Brother
hood. represented by Frank McNuity'
Peter w. Collins and ]. e. McCadden.
The Denver convention of the fedora
ton authorized the executive council to
levy an assessment of 1 cent per member
per month as may be necessary to meet
the legal defense of the officers Of the
American Federation OF Labor In the
Bucks Stove and Range Company in-
junction case and contempt proceedings
and to appeal the same to the higher
ment was deferred. the voluntary contri-
buttons for the legal defense being suf-
ficient to meet the present needs.
The Farmers National Union and other
organizations of farmers are to hold
conventions in the late summer and fall.
and President Gompers was directed to
appoint two representatives OF the fed

rights and interests of the workers. but

to have the American Federation Of La
Dor represented by three delegates.
Among the matters reported to the ex-
ecutive council was the meeting held be-
tween the representatives of the Inter-
of the International Union OF Elevator
Constructors. at which 1t was agreed to
consult the membership of these respec-
tive organizations with view of obtain
ing an expression OF opinion on amalsa-
to be held in Chicago May 3, and both
parties insisted upon Mr.. Gompers
participating. The council approved the
course pursued.
He reported upon the efforts made for
the reaffiliation of the Iongshoremen's
organization Of the Pacific coast with
the International Longshoremen's Asso-
citation and the effort being made to
bring about cooperative action between

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. April 21.-In their es
sential respects the transactions In to-
days stock market did not vary widely
from those exhibited yesterday. There
were the same irregular and uncertain
conditions in prices and the same absence
of direct explanations for these varying
movements.
The volume of business was maintained
upon fairly large scale. and a general
distribution of speculative interest was ap-
parent. AS has been the case previously,
the political situation in southeastern
Europe was a factor of little Importance
either In the foreign or domestic stock
markets. American. shares were quoted
at small and Irregular changes in price in
the London market, and operations here
for foreign account while on the selling
side. were by no means large in the ag-
gregate.
1t was probably true that the mere fact
that yesterdays average quotations both
for railway stocks and the Industrial
issues were established at the highest
level since the panic was sufficient to
induce profit-taking sales on a large
enough scale to account for the irregular
fluctuations In the prices today.
The influence exerted yesterday by the
wild fluctuations In the grain market was
missing during today's business session,
although there was evident some uneasi-
ness as to the possible effects of the
breakdown in the bullish manipulation of
the staple.
Money Conditions Unchanged.
Fundamental conditions. including the
money and foreign exchange markets,
showed no alterations of any conse-
quence. In the early part of the day
the so-called Hartman securities were
more or less affected by the inferences
drawn from the prospective departure
Tor Europe Of the head Of the Union Pa
cifc sustem, but later these securities
moved in line with the market at large
The Erie shares enjoyed an early rise
on the modification by the public service
commission of the terms under which the
proposed collateral bonds may be issued
About the most striking movement in
the market at large was the substantial
ADVANCE scored in American Telephone and
telegraph. Otherwise, price changes in
the industrial and miscellaneous stocks
were as irregular and limited as those
in the general market.
