LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS

AS far as the volume of business was
concerned. the local stock market today
fell back into the dullness of the past
few weeks. There were numerous or
ders. but they were not all executed. as
the level of prices was generally main
tanned. and there was an evident in
tentlon on the part of those who had
securities to sell to wait until they could
get the asking prices.
In keeping with the Improvement in
the market which has been evident for
several days past, was the bid of one
OF the brokers for gas certificates. He
said that he would give par for any part
or 100000 of these bonds. 4 block of
that size was not offered. but a single
bond was offered at 1907, while 1904
was bid.
There is some talk that a proposal will
be made at the meeting of the stock
holders of the gas company next week
for funding these securities in the pro-
posed new 5 per cent bonds of the COM
pany instead Of paying them off, as the
company has right to do.
According TO a circular issued by a
committee of the security holders of the
Washington. Baltimore and Annapolis
electric railway. copies Of which have
of the bankers and the brokers. the plan
of reorganization as thus far formed
provides that bondholders Of the electric
company and Of the Baltimore Terminal
Company shall deposit their bonds with a
trust company in Cleveland or one in
Baltimore. and then the committee will
present for their action the details of a
reorganization scheme. The bonds can
be withdrawn in the event the owners
do not give their sanction to the plan.

WILL COST $5O,0OO,0O0
AGREEMENT ON RAILWAY
SAFETY APPLIANCES.

Definite standards Of safety appli-
ances to be attached to railway cars
and locomotives finally have been
agreed upon after nearly third of
a century Of effort. 1t is estimated that
the proposed changes in equipment will
cost the railroads about $50.00,000.
The agreement was reached by COM
mittee appointed last week by the inter-
state commerce commission after a two
day hearing The committee consisted of
fifteen men, equally divided between rep
20 ~atatives of FneSccerating departments
of railroads, safety appliance inspectors
of the commission and railroad operatives
Radical differences of opinion and judg-
ment were met by concessions by all
interested parties. and the agreement
reached is unanimous as to all equip
ment to be constructed in the future, ex-
cept as to the placing of four sill steps
on n-projecting-end box cars. That
matter will have to be determined by
the commission.
The Pennsylvania railroad, through its
master mechanic, Mr.. Gibbs. entered OBJ
iections to the transferring OF the hand
brake from the right to the left side of
the cars, and to the placing of four lad
ders on each car.
The interstate commerce commission
was given six months in which to frame
ard make effective suitable standards OF
sa fety appliances.
The order of the commission must be
promulgated by the 14th inst. The agree
only to new equipment. But the commits
sion from time to time will determine
what the standards shall be OH the pres
ent equipment

CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, October with weather in
Argentina favorable for the growth Of
wheat and the big shipments expected
from ports on the Black sea, the market
here turned downward today. Trade,
however, was light and in the absence
of selling pressure quotations showed a
tendency to rally. The general impress
sion was that the short interest was as
big as at any time recently. The open
ing was 1saA to y lower. December
started at OTIS to %. loss Of Nan to
Aa% but recovered to 9S1sa9Sk.
Buying power in the corn pit seemed
decidedly limited. Offerings were heavy.
December opened Aa1s to 1zaM off at 401s
to 492s and steadied around 49k.
Bears attempted to depress oats. but
without much success. December started
"a down at 32%. touched 321sa32as and
recovered to 32Aa32B.
