LOCAL FINANCIAL GOSSIP.

Holders Of the per cent consolidated
mortgage bonds % the Seaboard Air
Line Railway Company. in Washington.
with others elsewhere, are much interest
ed in rumors current in financial circles
tnat the receivers will pay the overdue
interest on these bonds shortly. The sub
ject has been discussed pro and con in
financial papers almost a year since the
first increment OF interest on the bonds
WIS passed At one time 81 had been
said that the interest would be paid. and
at another this has been denied.
Never once have the receivers made an
authoritative statement upon the subject.
and they have not done so nov. yet the
rumor is once more going the rounds that
the interest will surely be paid on April
]. though with what reason does not
appear.
Including the coupons due next Thurs
day the interest IN arrears On these bonds
amounts TO S776.50o The interest next
week will be due Tor eighteen months on
Sl2. 900 In bonds, that being the amount
outstanding Of the authorized $4,000 00o
loan.
The news comes from Baltimore that
there Is no likelihood OF al this interest
being paid on April 1. The Seaboard
has other outstanding obligations. interest
on a part OF which is also due next week.
namely. that on Ss.S45,0o0 OF the general
mortgage and collateral trust 3 per cent

GO collateral IS Is due. and basing an
opinion upon the known earning capacity
OF the system there IS small likelihood
that the receivers will ind themselves in
a position 10 pay this accumulated and
current interest by May l. II would be
much nearer 10 the truth 10 suppose that
the overdue interest would be paid OF In
instruments later IN the year when pres
ent and prospective payments are not so
heavy.
The consolidated mortgage trust Is the
only one in arrears. and it Is said % be
less pressing than other obligations which
the receivers are called upon 10 meet
Trading on the local exchange yester-
day was largely confined 10 the purchase
of bonds Washington Gas came into the
record at -. and Is above for seventy

New York. March 26.-Bradstreet's re-
view Of the state Of trade tomorrow viii
say:
Weather. crop, and Industrial reports
are stin irregular. with mo9e than ordi-
nary quiet noted in most lines. Whole
sale trade feels the effect OF tariff dis
cussion and uncertainties. and while a
fair business is doing Qn excess Of last
year in nearly all lines), disappointment
is expressed at the total volume Of
trade in the first quarter.
Buying from jobbers-is conservative,
and orders are numerous rather than
large. and Of a between-seasons charac-
ter at best. Retail trade has been ham
pered by stormy weather. but the ap-
proach of Easter is reflected IN some im-
provement IN demand, largely in Wo-
mems wear fabrics and materials.
Western trade is relatively better than
that Of the East in this line, but cool
westher arrests expansion the country
ol,.. In industrial lines generally. op-
erations are quiet TO dull with the iron
ami steel trade. where prices are weak
or, one OF the apparently least favOrably
situated lines. Wage reductions are be-
coming more numerous. especially in the
iron and allied trades.
The coal trade is quiet East and
West Dullness IN the bituminous trade
Is affecting coal-csrryiug roads earn
ings. Business and industrial conditions
and the large supply on hand discourages
the idea of a strike by the anthracite
miners on April J.

active at nearly ali points. with some inn
provement in demand for lumber and ma

Northwest being particularly cheerful

steel trade. relieved by some improve
ment in the demand in the structural de-
partment. continues. with further weak
ening OF prices, and this depression must
be lifted before complete business con-
valescence is established Then the
tariff discussion in Congress bears heavily
upon many trades, and the end Of the
debate Is variously estimated al not be-
fore May 10 to July
The chief financial development has
been the large expectation OF gold. which
is a consequence Of the cheapness OF
money and the heavy merchandise im-
ports. and might have an unfavorable ef-

can well spare the gold and that much

copper lagely exceeds the demand.
Whatever progress Is making in iron
and steel is mostly confined 70 structural
lines The recent slight Improvement IN
this division is being maintained. A bet

roads, the tonnage pending aggregating
a good volume.
