LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

What was regarded as a record maker
In the way Of prices was recorded today
at the meeting Of the stock exchange,
when ten shares of the American Security
and Trust Company's stock sold for 800
share. 1t was said when the sales were
made that 1t was the best figure thus far
paid for the stock, although one broker
thought he remembered q transaction at
800
The buyer was willing to take more
stock at the same level and he continued
to bid 80. while the best Offering was at
800 At the level just reached the stock
at Its present dividend rate, III per cent,
shows not quite per cent as an income
producer. but as the earnings of the COM
pany indicate comfortable margin above
all expenses. it is thought a further ad-
deferred IT is believed this prospect is
the cause of the recent upward movement
in the stock.
Some attention was attracted by a
change in figures for Riggs Bank stock
which brought the bid and the asking
price close together. The stock was Of
fered at Isl. and while there were no
transactions. the same comment was
heard relative to this stock namely. that
the dividend rate soon would be advanced
from 20 per cent year to higher notch,
which would distribute more Of the earn
ings among the stockholders.
The trading in Capital Traction stock
again today was confined to odd lots, for
which, however. better prices were paid
than on Saturday. The sales today were
at 1905 and 1861.
Washington Railway and Electric COM
mon continued Its upward course, selling
from "a to 7414, while at the close the bid
was 74as with the asking price 741z. After
the call sales were made at 74ss and IAN.
The only transaction in the title COM
pany stocks was the sale of fifty shares
of Columbia Title at AZ. The usual
figures were then supplied. namely. 4
bid and asked. The stock OF this
company: as well as that Of the Real
one management, is the only title
company stocks listed They are not
active In the trading list. and 1t is
only occasionally that an order for
either is filled.
There Is a probability that more at
tention will be given to these securities
in the daily trading in the event some
plan is adopted for merging all the
title companies of the city.
While a plan Of that sort would re-
duce the number Of corporations that
now have their securities listed on the
exchange, at the same time the capital
ization would represent much larger
sum OF money than the combined CAPT.
tai OF the companies now listed.
But even If the change Is not COM
pleted in this way. there is probable
ity that before many months there
will be several additions to the listing
on the local exchange of the securities
of corporations in and near the Dis
trict. including possibly some of the
public utility companies of the south

CLAIMS
COMBINATION PROVED
Vigorously Resists Motion to
Dismiss Case Against the
Beef Packers.

CHICAGO, March 1.-THE government
counsel today vigorously attacked the
motion of the defense in the packers
trial to have the case taken from the
jury and the defendants discharged. They
argued that the government had conclus-
lively proved it's case against the packers
charged with criminal violation OF the
Sherman antitrust law. and urged Judge
Carpenter to deny the motion presented
by the defense.
Special Counsel James NJ. Sheean be-
gan the argument in behalf Of the gov
ernment. He read the indictment and re-
ferred to it as the governments chart.
He said:
I'VE have shown that these companies
used uniform system Of test cost and
margins. We have shown that repre-
sentatives of these defendants exchanged
Information in regard to their business.
We declare that all the facts shown by
the testimony in this case. when con-
sidered together, lead to conclusion OF
guilt"
Attorney Sheean spoke Of the Veeder
beef pool meetings held prior to 1902
and declared that the sole object OF
that combination was to restrict COM
petition in violation OF the Sherman
law He said that one Of the purposes
of the Sherman law was to prevent a
monopoly Of the meat business or the
country by the big packers.
Prior to 1902 this alleged combine
ton operated through the Veeder pool"
said Attorney Sheean. For part OF
"a year the members met in secret
at each others houses to continue the
combination In March. 1908. the Ma
tional Packing Company was organ
lied and the government contends that
it was through this corporation that
the combination has continued its con-
troll of the fresh meat industry"

DISTRICT BILLS SIDETRACKED.
House Gives Right of Way to Agri-
cultural Annrnnriatinn Measure.

District day in the House proved to be
District day in name only today. Repre-
sentative Johnson of Kentucky. chairman
Of the House District committee, by
agreement with the House leaders and
Representative Lamb, chairman Of the
committee agriculture, did not bring
up any of the District bills. but gave
the right of way to the agricultural ap-
preparation bill
Mr.. Johnson said later that he intended
to ask the House for next Monday for
the consideration of District affairs. The
condition of the appropriation bills, he
admitted, might have the effect of still
further postponing action on District
legislation.
It was expected the, Redfield bill for
police and firemens pension fund would
be taken up in the House today. the COM
mittee having favorably reported the
measure. which proposes to make up the
deficiency now existing in the fund from
a property tax in the District.

COMPLAIN OF RULES.
But Will Not Help Yale Any More
Than Other Schools.

NEW YORK, March IA majority of
comments on the new foot ball rules
have been favorable, but there are some
dissenters. One criticism-that the rules
are calculated to help Yale foot ball-is
not worth serious consideration. The
rules are not calculated to help Yale any
more than any other foot ball camp that
has shown a desire to develop offense as
we'll as defense. Harvard will have two
of the best rushing backs on the field
next fall in Wendell and Brickley, yet
there has been no plant from Yale that
the rules will help Harvard.

CRuCIsES NATIONAL GUARD.
Secretary Stimson Urges Legislation
to Increase It's Efficiency.

Secretary of War Stimson today urged
the House committee on military affairs
to recommend legislation to increase tho
efficiency of the National Guard. The
committee had under consideration the
militia pay bill.
Mr.. Stimson advised the enactment OF
any law which would add to the esprit de
CORDS of the militia and arouse interest In
the National Guard. He declared that In
the event Of war the country would have
to rely on the militia in the long run and
that it would be q short-sighted policy to
do nothing to encourage the organization
Of a capable body OF reserve troops. HIS
criticism of the present militia force is
that 1t lacks discipline, organization. has
insufficient knowledge Of the drill tactics.
and the state organizations are not up to
the standard that should be sought by
the federal government.
