LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The call Of the list Of securities at to-
days meeting Of the Stock Exchange was
uneventful. One bond and ten shares of
bank stock comprised the total sales of
the day when the call was nearly finished.
Some attention. however. was called to
Georgetown Gas Company's stock by an
advance made in the bid. Instead Of 65
the bid became s.. but no stock was Of
fered for sale. except a block of 100
shares. The latter was offered only after
some interchange had taken place be-
tween some Of the brokers as to the pros
poets of future rise in the figures for
the stock The opinion was expressed by
one of the debaters that there was no
stock to be had. and then the representa-
tive OF the other side of the question Of
fered 100 shares at Is.
There was no bid for such a block, and
no further Offering Of the stock in any
quantity, not even q quotation lot OF
twenty-five shares.
After the call the trading was some
what freer, but the volume was not large.

NEW YORK. March 24-Trading was
very light at the opening Of the market
today and movements were almost inn
perceptibie. National Railways Of Mex
leo second preferred was the only fea-
ture yielding q point. Missouri Pacific,
and Toledo, st. Louis and Western gain
ed %.
A spell Of weakness developed which
seemed to be due entirely to the general
feeling Of disgust which the stupid OPEN
ing aroused Canadian Pacific broke a
point and nearly all of the leading stocks
about half as much before the movement
halted, after which there was some re-
covery.
Selling by the Bears.
Lower prices were general during the
morning, and the slight declines were
attributed to bear selling. The amounts
sold however, were not sufficient to give
a very pronounced tone to the market.
and covering of shorts resulted in par
tial recoveries.
The one interesting feature Of the
market was it's extreme dizziness.
Chesapeake and Ohio ran off a point to-
ward midday, and there was a sympa-
thetic shading in the active stocks.
Bonds were steady.

Values made more decided progress

THOSE NEW ELECTORAL VOTES.

Since the reapportionment of con-
gressional districts will increase by
forty-two the membership of the
electoral college, the result of that
action on the possibilities concerning
choice of president and vice president
will be studied with interest.
Considering reapportionment by
sections, the greatest increase in
number of ngressmen-and, there
fore, of members of the electoral
college-is in the east. Taking New
England, Pennsylvania, New York,
New Jersey and Delaware together,
the number will be 144, against 1873
as heretofore, gain of fifteen. Right
in this connection, it is of interest to
note that the seventeen states which
gave Mr.. Bryan 1872 electoral votes
in 1908 will have an increase of ten,
while the Twenty-Five state that gave
Mr.. Taft 321 will have gain of
thirty-two.
The three Pacific states, California,
Oregon and Washington, will have an
increase of six votes; CHASING West
Virginia and Maryland with the solid
south, but emitting Missouri, the
gain for that section will be seven
for the middle west, including Mis-
souri,, five; and for states lying be-
tween that section and the far west,
nine.
These figures present interesting
ground for calculations on electoral
college possibilities.

where in regard to that credit?
BY way Of illustration, last month,
for the first time since the days OF
the civil war, the government de-
cided it wise to float a big special
loan.
The big issue of bonds was offered
at 3 per cent, considerably lower
rate than results from many other
forms of investment.
But plenty of people came forward
to take up the loan, at premium, at
less prescribed terms of profit than
would accrue from savings in many
of the banks of the country or from
an almost limitless number of other
forms of investment.
There was no national reserve
association behind the issuing of the
bonds or their disposition. Investors
knew the credit of the government.
They had no occasion for a coterie of
bankers or clique of Wall street
spectators to give assurance OF the
desirability of the investment.
