LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The market showed an improvement
today at the meeting of the Stock Elk
change. 1t may not have been due to
the result Of the elections, but such q
result had been predicted in the event
the democratic party was successful. Al
any rate, whatever the cause. in two
specialties there was considerable trad
ing. and in the case of one Of them-gas
stock-more than has been the case for
some time past.
The preferred stock Of Washington
Railway was freely bought, at first al
S93s and then the great bulk at S0es, the
figures in both cases showing an ad-
vance over those last quoted. The Dus-
ing was not broad, but 1t was apparently
without limit within that range. for after
the selling was over the bid remained at
the principal buying level, with the ask
ing price at 81.
The total sales reached about 21o
shares. which is large dealing In any one
security at this time. At the end or the
current month, however, there Will De
dividend paid on this stock OF *2.oO per
share. SO that the market price 81 tLis
time is about 81
Gas stock was dealt in today with the
bond rights at 1875 and 1874. They were
cash sales, that is to say. all deliveries
must be made today. AS cash sales the
level Of the prices paid was slightly In
advance of those Of the last day the ex-
change met, when the range was from
1874 to 1874.
The sales aggregated 100 shares The
bid for the stock, ex. rights, was n. and
the asking price was TIN. The difference
between the bid price and the prevailing
market price of about 1917 for the stock
with the rights is about $1.5O per snare,
and it is calculated that represents the
value per share of the bond rights.
There was no trading In the stock ex.

ELG|N BUTTER BOARD IS
REWRITING ITS RULES
Change in Name and Location
and Extension of Terri
tory Designed.

CHICAGO. November 9.-Elgin, the
word which marks the standard and die
tates the price of butter throughout the
is threatened with elimination from the
vocabulary of the butter market. This
discarding of name which through
thirty-five years of constant use has be-
come a standard term is one of the Incl
dents of the evolution of the dairy indus
|try.
In other words, there Is little or no
genuine Elgin butter these days. because
the greater portion of the milk in the
Elgin butter district is required to supply
the Chicago market.
Rules to Be Rewritten.
Recognising these new conditions, the
members of the Elgin butter board are re-
writing its rules and bylaws and enlarg-
ing the district SO as to include all OF
Wisconsin. part of Minnesota and part OF
Iowa. The present Elgin district includes
all of Illinois. few counties in southern
Wisconsin and two counties in Iowa.
Because Chicago draws practically all
the milk from the present Elgin district
the board is forced to take in additional
territory. This will mean an entire re-
organization Of the butter board, with all
the creameries of Wisconsin and Mime
sofa which care to join the board having
a voice in fixing the standards and quot
ing prices.
1t also means that with the Wisconsin
creameries in the majority the butter
board may be moved from Elgin to some
Wisconsin city.
