LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

AS there is no large holding of local
bonds and stocks to come on the market,
1t Is not expected by those familiar with
local conditions that what came out yes
terday as the main cause of the disturb
ance In the general market will be re-
peated here, even in a very much modified
form.
1t may be considered that, as the local
market Is more or less sympathetic with
what is happening in the broader field
now there is need of higher levels, or,
rather, as those in control of the gen.
eral market have something to sell, the
local securities will share in the recovery
which is thought to be scheduled.
But Whatever may be the future course
or the general market, it is not thought
the Improvement will be right away or
trading to any great extent. There have
been active markets in the summertime
on the local exchange, but that has been
largely due to special causes and not to
general W
Gas stock was to be had at a somewhat
lower inquire today, and while only one
tWenty-fve-share lot was sold, and the
price paid was Tx. the stock was still
to be had about on that level. which is
considerably lower than the asking price
OF yesterday. The bid remained about
the same.
The transactions in the securities of the
washington Railway Company were con-
fined to the sale Of a few Of the bonds,
which, however, as has been the case
lately, only found market at an increas-
ing concession in the price.
The common stock. however, appears to
be in slightly better demand and better
figures were paid for it, although no great
progress has been made as yet In regain
ing the former levels.

BIG ENGLISH CAPITAL
IN RAILROAD COMBINE
Believed to Make More Easily
Possible Projected Trans
continental Line.

NEW YORK. July 2S.-while Kuhn.
Loeb & Co. made no official announce
ment today regarding the develop
ments whereby the holdings of a syndi-
cate in Rock Island, Lehigh Valley and
Missouri Pacific stocks were taken over
to prevent further serious liquidation, the
company, in connection with English in
terests headed by Sir Ernest Cassell, has
secured the largest single holding of
Rock Island, both common and prefer
red
The syndicate is said to nave been made
up of Canadian and English operators,
with English connections, headed by DR..
F. S. Pearson. and had for it's aim a new
transcontinental group.
Decline Upset Plan.
The decline in the market upset the
plan and necessitated a turning over of
the stocks purchased
The block of Rock Island secured car
ries control of the property and is &C
| companied by the Pearson holdings in Lee
high Valley, Wabash and Missouri Pa
cific.
Whether the tranScontinental plan will
be carried out by the new Rock Island
controllers or whether the new interests
will assert their power in altering pres
ent management still depends on unset
tied factors. Certain banking interests
here have looked upon the original Pear
son plan with favor, and it is not unlikely
that steps will be taken to carry it out
in the near futur..
Makes Plan Less Difficult.
1t is pointed out that while the Pear
son syndicate could net have inaugurated
proposed transcontinental system ex-
cept by securing an actual preponderance
of the stocks involved, the new holders
through associations should be able to
effect the practical union of the various
properties with little further outlay of
capital.
Sir Ernest CasselI, the chief foreign
member of the new syndicate. represents
one Of the largest, if not the largest,
single financial interest of England, and
it is stated on good authority that the
new Rock Island interests took over the
stock in question for purposes of per-
manent investment
