LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The Indifferent state of the market was
brought out at the meeting today Of the
stock exchange, when the bid and ask
ing prices of three of the securities that
are usually among the active traders
were separated by only an eighth of a
point.
The first of these was the common stock
of the Washington Railway Company.
which for some time past has dropped
out of the class of active stocks and has
commonly been passed by with 3S bid and
none offered. When the first dividend
was declared on this stock last fall no
statement was made as to whether 1t
was semi-annual. an annual or merely
an occasional dividend. Since then there
has been nothing definite known on the
subject.
Today fifty shares In ten-share lots
sold for 1914, and that was the bid for
more, with the asking price at ~.
Two hundred and fifty shares of the
Washington Railway and Electric pre-
ferred stock sold for COS. but the supply
was not exhausted, as the stock was still
TO be had at that price, with the bid 9O1a
The selling figure Of today was. however.
nigh recent level for this stock, which
during recent months has been dealt in
only sparingly at much lower levels.
Gas stock did not figure much in the
trading. Only two shares were sold, but
the bid price was I'M and the asking
price 71A. thus placing it in the same
class with the other more active traders.
The figures of today for gas show a
slightly stronger tone than was the case
yesterday.
\ good deal of interest was manifested
in the course on the market of the. stock
OF the Commercial Bank, owing TO the
recent upward movement, which was gen.
orally attributed to the sale OF the Ste
vens holdings, supposed to aggregate
about one thousand shares, or one-tifth
of the capital stock.
Today, however, the only transaction
in the stock was the sale of five shares
at zoos, while the Offering Of the stock
fell to 202. the lowest figure reached
since the news Of the deal came out. The
bid was 200. 1t is understood the trans
action for the purchase of the stock has
not as yet been closed. and while the
subject of the successor of Mr.. Stevens,
who it is supposed will retire from the
pleted the deal by the transfer of his
stock. has been discussed. yet nothing
definite has been decided upon.

directors of the Franklin Insurance Conn

Nowhere was there any tangible clue
that might lead to the discovery Of the
person who committed the deed
Nothing WAS found in the room that
would suggest a fight between the
men. The similarity of the wounds led
the police TO believe that all were
killed by some person. who. hiding the
weapon, escaped after locking the
house.

The Wolf Month.

January in early Britain must have
been a month OF terror. Richard Verste-
gan, in his Restitution of Decayed In
telligence in Antiquities work pub
lished in 1878, says:
The month which we now call Janu-
airy our Saxon ancestors called wolf
monat.' wolf month"; because people are
wont always in that month to be in more
danger to be devoured OF wolves than in
any season else of the years. for that.
through the extremity of cold and snow,
those ravenous creatures could not lind
other beasts sufficient to feed upon"
Keeping the wolf from the door was in
those days no mere metaphor.

Honor of Opening Case.

brought it is referred to as the principal
case, and for that reason Maxwell Evarts,
counsel for Stella Flint had the honor
Of opening the case today. He was fol-
lowed by counsel in other cases in oppo-
sition to the law. and not until late in the
day was 1t planned to have Solicitor Gen
eral Bowers begin the presentation Of the
governments side.
An interesting figure in the fight is Will
liam d. Guthrie. New York lawyer.
Upon his insistence 1t is said that a re-
hearing was granted in the income tax
cases. as result of which the income tax
was declared unconstitutional In this
contest he is on the other side. He ap-
pears as counsel for q corporation that
wants to be taxed, and therefore will ar
que for the constitutionaltty of the law.

The United States Supreme Court was
today again the stage OF another titanic

provisions of the Payne Aldrich tariff law

on the tax consumed the entire time of
the court and will extend throughout to-

as much attention as the Standard Oil
dissolution case, heard in the court earlier
in the week.
Fifteen cases involving the question OF
the validity of the tax have been brought
to the court for final judgment. All were
advanced for an early hearing and con-
solidated in order to avoid giving fifteen
days to the subject, which would have
been necessary If each cause had been
heard separately. In each suit, except
one, stockholders brought the action In

Not Often One-Sided.

Nevertheless there is one which con-
tains elements of strong appeal to the
professional mind. When all the stock
market factors are so obviously bearish
as they have been and seem to be now, 1t
does not follow that sales of stocks are
in order. The market is rarely as one
sided as 1t looks and money is not so
easily made in Wall street.
The labor situation presented for Wall
street consideration today was nothing
more than hopeful. New troubles crop
ped out In the railroad field and the
prospective settlement of the Philadel-
phia traction strike seemed likely to be
delayed owing to fresh interference of
politics So far present labor Difficult
