LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

Outside Of some issues in the bond list
about the only things in demand at to-
days meeting of the Stock Exchange were
the stocks and bonds Of the Capital Trac-
ton Company. They were wanted not
only on the better levels that have re-
Gently been reached, but also advanced
prices paid and also bid. For the per
'cent bonds the bid advanced from LII
to 1.111a. but that was not enough to at
tract purchasers. as the lowest offering
was 11S14. The bid advanced an eighth Of
a point and within the same distance
from the best recent selling, although a
record has been made of a sale Of these
bonds at 1181s. However, there were no
sales
The stock showed the same buoyant
tendency. and that. too. in spite OF the
fact that one broker had a selling order
for over one hundred shares He sue
ceeded without much trouble in marketing
the entire lot at l37 and 1874, thus eclips-
ing all recent records Of prices for this
security The buying was quite general.
and 1t was evident that whatever invest
ment buying there was In the market was
directed toward the securities of this
company.
The securities of the other traction sys-
teiH oidfeu 10 Some extent IN the eXpc-
rience recounted above, that is, as far as
better figures were concerned. But the ad-
vance with a slight one and was from
lower levels rather than. as in the case
of Capital Traction, from the best recent
record
One Of the Washington railways per cent
bonds sold for SS1s. and then the bid was
80, while the bonds were for sale at half
a point advance. In the early part Of
March Of this year. and also in February.
these bonds reached their highest point
since the financial depression, when they
sold for SSH At GS the interest yield is
4.64. while Capital Traction bonds at III
pay 4.27
The common stock was offered at 4ss
with the bid three eighths OF a point less
than that. but there was no trading. This
security is also below the highest record
made since the recovery OF the market
from the late panic. as about the middle
Of March last it sold at the best figure
when 43& was given for 1t.
The preferred stock made an advance
over recent figures. when some odd lots
and quotation lot sold for Oh and the
bid advanced to 91k. with 90 az the ask
ing price. After the call ten shares sold
for 911a. The recent high price for this
stock was recorded in March last, when
best price sor this security since the de-
preston. and the best paid since the early
part of 1905.
At the present time. as it Is pointed out.
nearly nve months Of the half yearly divi-
dend period have passed, so that, roughly
speaking. there is about Sc accumulated
on each share of stock. and on the basis
OF the current vaTue the actual market
value of the stock is now about SO.

MISSION WORK IN JAPAN.
General Missionary Tells Baptist.
That Unity Is Needed.

From the Philadelphia Record.
The urgent need Of unifcation in the
missionary work OF the Baptist Church
in Japan was impressed upon q large
gathering at the First Baptist Church.
18th and SAMSON streets. Wednesday
night by the Rev. ]. L. Dearing. He
has been appointed to the recently Great
ed Office OF general missionary in charge
Of the work Of Baptist organizations in
Japan. India and the Philippines. While
outlining the policy he proposed to follow
in order to secure more concerted efforts
in pushing the work OF the Baptist Church
in those countries he incidentally praised
the system by which the Methodists and
Episcopalians are accomplishing splendid
results
1--WE Baptists are SO independent" he
declared, that we lean over backward.
We have many excellent missionaries.
but we lack the unity Of action which
characterizes the work Of the Methodists
method. too much helter.skelter princi-
pies In the methods Of the Bapusts and
Presbyterians. We should seek out the
best elements in the Methodist work
which make II such a successful PROPOSE
ton. Our missionaries are isolated, many
Of them 200 miles apart, where they have
no one to advise with. They need the
right kind OF q man to travel among
them and, out Of the richness OF his ex-
perience. to counsel and strengthen them.
They will be able to do better work and
reflect more credit upon tho Baptist mis-
sionary endeavors."

Liverpool Grain Prices.
Demand for Shamrock Grows.
Dublin Letter to St. Louis Globe Democrat.

Ten years ago not more than 40 per
cent Of the Irish people showed their ma
tionality March II by wearing the sham
rock, but this year not more than per
cent were 30 forgetful as to dispense
with 1.-the leaf" The increased demand
for shamrock in Ireland has been accom-
panied by a hardly less notable increase
in tho demand from Great Britain and
the colonies and from the United States.
In some districts, 1t appears. shamrock
farms have been established. where the
plant is specially cultivated for the Eng
fish and foreign markets. There are one
or two fiourishing farms Of this character
In County Cork. from which in the early
spring thousands OF neatly packed boxes
20 forth to all corners Of the earth.
For the most part. however, the little
plant 10 picked from its native bogs and
hollows. The south Of Ireland supplies
the majority Of tho Irish and English
markets. The moist and warm climate OF
Munster is specially suited to the temper
OF tho shamrock. which there takes q
deeper and tenderer green than in the
more northern counties. Even In Ireland
the common clover and other plants are
sometimes found doing duty for the genu-
inc article. But the deception becomes
annually less practicable. since 1t Is now
q part OF every Irishman's patriotism to
be Q connoasseur In shamrock.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

CHICAGO. April 19-The upward ten
dency Of wheat prices on the board OF

Of the market today. initial quotations
showing losses OF y to 11sa1Ac compared

1.27h to 1.27h: July at lily to 1.17%,
and September at 1.O7A to 1.O7h.
Selling was general at the start, and
wAs based chiefly on a decline of I'D to
|1Ad at Liverpool. where the market was
bearishly Influenced by much heavier
movements from Russia last week than
had been expected Early In the day the
September and December options were in
fairly good demand. which caused q re-
covery Of all the loss in those deliveries.
but the selling pressure on July continued
heavy for q time.
After July had sold up to 1.17H the price
again dropped back to about the opening
to 1.Os14a1.o .osA.
Corn for May and July delivery touched
during early trading today the former
selling at 7OH and the latter at 6SX. The
volume OF trade, however, was rather
small. owing to great scarcity Of offer
ings Light receipts and improved ship
ping demand were the bullish factors
May opened unchanged to a shade higher
at 89ha7O, and soon rose to 7OH
while July sold up to 8sA, after opening
at 6SM to 6S3s.
Oats opened unchanged to Nc higher,
May being at 56A. Early in the day May
sold up to 663Sa56k

kind Of rush commonly called the yellow
nag. In order to provide Liverpool with
a picturesque coat Of arms some ANTIGUA

chrfstened II with the first two syiIabies
OF the name Of the city. but. the profess
