IN LOCAL FINANCIAL CIRCLES
By I. A. FLEMING.

Washington securities have thrown
off the incubus of the unsatisfactory
conditions on Wall Street. For several
months our market has hesitated un-
der an indirect influence with the seri-
Gus slump In the industrials and rail-
road securities of the nation. That
there was nervousness and unrest on
the part Of industry and capital the
world over, that the trust prosecutions
and the uncertainties of the political
situation smashed prices seriously, nat
urally had some effect on local stocks
and bonds. But there should be moth
ing more than passing sympathy, and
this in time has worn off.
The same conditions do not apply here
as on Wall Street. There are no trusts
in Washington to be prosecuted, no in
dustries to close. The utilities go on
earning their dollars day by day, ire
spective of London. New York, or else
where. Money is coming out daily,
weekly, and monthly, and the securi-
ties that the fathers of the generate.
have made money in are attractive
enough to the people of today. ire
spective Of the action Of Wall Street.
It has been a week of rising values,
Of steady prices, and firm closing,
with the best strength Of the week In
Washington Gas and Mergenthaler in the
stocks. Potomac Consolidated bonds in
the bond list, and United States Trust
Company shares in the bank stocks.
The remarkable steadiness in prices
has been a feature. and where there
has been little or no gain there have
been no evidences Of weakness. The
rise of three points on United States
Trust shares. following a session in
which they were decidedly weak, came
as a surprise to the Street as yet un-
explained.

Persistent stories are in circulation on
the Street anent the wonderful savings
that the Washington and Georgetown
Gas companies are making in this good
year. That there was ample oDpor-
tunity to make money by saving in
leakage was demonstrated at the last
annual meeting; indeed plans were made
at that time for the stoppage os this

Poe, formerly city auditor of Williston,
who was arrested for Irregularities in
his official work, and who has served
about three years of ten-year SEN
tence to the penitentiary, appeared be,
fore the state board of pardons at Bis
marck last week and made statement
of facts, which, it is said, will clear up
the mystery surrounding the case. H.
cidentally he mentioned the names of
several prominent men here as being
connected with the affair.
While little credence has been given
his alleged story of conspiracy, still
the fact that he was granted what was
said to be a conditional" pardon
and came to Williston, has stirred much
interest. While nothing has been given
out by the authorities regarding the
matter, it is the general supposition
that he is here to make good his as
sertions.
Poe, after serving several months as
city auditor, was arrested, and, after
a futile attempt to escape into the bad
lands, pleaded guilty and was SEN
fenced on four counts for irregularities
in Office, including the peculation of a
large amount of city funds, and was
sentenced to ten years in prison. There

The cutter started to work this morn

but thirteen inches thick, Mr.. Hanson
contends that at this thickness it is
easier handled with less danger to the
men, better job of packing can be
done and therefore the ice will keep
much better and longer.
