Regular dividend on c. & n. w.

The end of the war in the Balkans
seems to be near at hand and in spite
of all alarmist talk I believe there is
but little prospect OF Austria's making
any trouble. When this matter is
cleared up it is probable that gold i'm
ports into this country will be resumed
and this will have a stimulating effect
on the stock market No upward i'm
provement of Importance, however, need
be expected at present and the market
will probably remain within narrow trad
ing limits. Therefore, on any strength
to-day, I would favor selling while on
any declines from last nights level
stocks should be bought for a turn
The market opened dull and heavy and
continued so all day. Shortly after noon
selling pressure increased and prices sold
of half point but they quickly rallied
this amount and for the most part have
ranged at small fractions below last
nights close.
Trading has been almost entirely pro-
fessional. An unfavorable factor was
the loss by the banks to the sub-treas-
ury and transfer of cash to San Fran
cisco of $4,000.
Union showed more firmness than the
general market, while Steel was under
pressure.
Money rates remain unchanged The
market closed with a slight rally.

Local Financial Matters

The passage of a properly drawn utili-
ties bill would meet with the approval OF
the banking fraternity and of Stock Ex-
change officials and membership.
1t is also stated that a restraining or
der will not be asked. but that action
will be taken IF the matter goes to the
extent of a merger"
1t is over sixty days since the story of
the Maryland Virginia Railway Company
was made public; three months and more
since the insiders in security affairs and
at least one Commissioner knew about 1t.
To a daily observer of conditions II
does not look as II there had been any
haste In the operations of the promoters.
II the Washington Utilities Company,
nee Maryland Virginia, has been guilty,
1t is Of buying securities in the open
market and by private sale.
At the annual election on the Washing
ton Stock Exchange the entire official
roster. from president down. was re-
elected without opposition, and to a man.
A resolution OF sympathy for William
B. Hibbs, now a patient in the National
Homeopathic Hospital, was introduced
by President E. S. Parker, of the Union
Savings Bank. and adopted.
Notwithstanding a rather larger attend
ance on Change than usual there was
no activity, no excess of interest, nor yet
even a moderate amount of trading.
1t has come to a time where the daily
grind of making quotations is gone
through with in a mechanical sort of
fashion, and only rarely is even passing
interest shown in this or that stock.
II the passage of a Congressional act
for the establishment of a public utilities
commission would be a good thing for
local investments, every member of the
exchange would gladly welcome COM
mission.
1t would be subjected to certain criti
Cism, as a matter of fact, but the assur-
ance that public utilities would receive
a square deal would give better satisfac-
ton to shareholders and financial inter-
ests.

Strength in the common stock of the
California Petroleum is due to a more

earnings amounted to nearly S25O.OO0, or
at the rate of 100000 for the year,

Case Against Fannie Marshall Coz,
tInued Indefinitely by
Prosecution.

Fannie Marshall, dusky flirt Of
Donahue Row, will not have to explain
the disappearance of Tony Tassone's
s25 for some time yet, and she will be
allowed her liberty until the time
comes for her to explain When the
case was called before Judge Lem
decker this morning 1t was continued
indefinitely and Fannie was allowed
to go on her own recognizance.
Fannie was picked up by the police
after Tassone had complained of the
loss Of his roll Tassone, a one arm-
ed fellow, said he met two colored
women ON South Eighth street, when
the Marshall woman asked him which
way south was. He pointed to that
direction and than felt something or
some one taking liberties with tbs
pocket that contained his S25. he
searched himself and the roll was
gone The woman fled into the shell

Tassone sought the police.

time there are strong indications that
they have decided that they are en-
titled to and should have this vital
and important political right"
With the address of President Greg
lory over, the association settled itself
for lively contest. The main fight
was promised when the name of Will
liam Lewis, colored assistant attorney
general was presented for membership
in the association. Attorney General
Wickersham was prepared to lead the
fight against those of the lawyers
who wanted to exclude Lewis He
would not be quoted today, but 1t was
said by other members Of tne associa-
ton that Wickersham was confident
that he had obtained enough pledges
from northern members to assure
Lewis membership.
The remainder of the session today
was taken up with routine work, the
delegates hearing the report of the
secretary, treasurer and the executive
committee.
| Today it was said by the delegates
that no fight was likely to develop in
the selection of members o. the gen
eral council. Tonight technical dis
cussions of laws will be INDUCED in.
The question Of the Judiciary and
the recall of judges will be subject
under discussion during the conven.
ton, but the opinion was expressed
by members of the organization that
members of the bar were almost un
animously not in favor any form OF
judicial recall and 1t was predicted to-
day that strong protests would be
made against all recall ideas.
! The first smile that waved through
the large hall was prompted by an ut
terance of Governor Francis e. Nc
Govern of wisconsin during his speech
of welcome. Then the smile spread
until it was an almost derisive
laugh and it lasted nearly three min
utes. The governor was talking o.
the recall of judges.
There are MANY who feel" he
said, that there Is force in the argu
ment that the recall of the judiciar,
would impair the Importance Of the
Judges. 1t is a fact, however, that the
independence of the judiciary has beer
