CURB MARKET.
OUTSIDE SECURITY NOTES.

New York, June 25-Extreme dullness continued
in the market for outside securities today although
the tone remained steady. with frmness in spots.
At the outset strength developed in a number Of
the Standard Oil subsidiaries. which showed slight
activity, although later sased off more through
shere apathy than any pressure.
South Penn Oil fell points. British-American
Tobacco was moderately active at a slight advance.
United Cigar Stores Of America and Tobacco
Products preferred were neglected. Anelo-American
Old continued firm on the dividend outlook and
the rumored increase in capitalization. The cop
per shares were slightly better but comparatively
quiet. Silver stocks firm. Tonopah issues
were in fair demand, but irregular.

Utilitie. Company Given More Time

At the request OF counsel for the citi-
zens of Falls Church. Va. the hearing
of the complaint of Falls Church against
the Washington Utilities Company has
been indefinitely postponed. The reason
given for the request for a continuance
is that more time is desired for the con-
sideration of the amended answer of the
Utilities Company to the complaint. In
the first complaint the company admitted
that il was a common carrier and fell
within the provision for the regulation
of such. This is denied in the amended
answer.

fected were ordered TO restore the

Confident of Controlling Both
Houses, Democrats Are
Looking for Rulers.
IspeclaI 10 the NeNarls star.I

TRENTON, Nov. 5.-confident that
they will have the entire say in the
matter. Democratic senators and
senator's elect, as well as assembly
men elect, are taking time by the
forelock and casting around for fit
ting material for president of the
upper house and for speaker of the
Assembly. whether the Democratic
delegation from Essex county con-
sists OF ten or eight, there being some
doubt expressed on this point, there
will be more than enough with the
last named number for all purposes.
Senator John W. Sloeum, of Mon
mouth, Is said to be casting sheep
eyes at the high desk and the gavel
in the Senate chamber, and the same
sentiment is understood to have
taken possession of Senator George
Il. Martens, of old Hunterdon. Mar
tens has had wide experience as
legislator, both in the Assembly and
in the Senate, and knows conditions
like u book. But. 1t is held, Martens
does not enjoy the same intimacy
with the people who will dominate
affairs at Trenton this winter that
Slocum does nor is he quite as close
to the throne as Senator Munson, or
Sussex, is. He is popular with all,
however, because Of his genial ways
and open methods.
As for the speakership aspirnnts,
the woods are full of them. The man
for the place that is the man best
fitted to discharge the duties of the
office, is Walter l.. McDermott. of
Hudson, reputed to be exceptionally
gifted as ;,peaker and parliamenta-
rian. McDermott Is remarkable In
debate, is versed in all tactics apper-
tanning to Legislation, and in the esti-
nation of legislative correspondents
was only equalled last year by AS
semblyman Thomas Martin, who also
halls from Hudson.
A likely looking chap for the job is
said to be Simon l.. Fisch, of Essex
county, who Is young. ambitious and
capable as a lawyer and as debater.

ports, thinks that the speakersh1p
berth is just about his size. Brane-
gan is Hudson county product. re-
