No sooner had the afternoon papers
given announcement of the formation
of this company and its object than
plans were made to crush it, and on
the assembling of Congress or soon
after former Senator La Toilette ln'
troduced and secured the passage and
presidential approval of an act forbid
ding any one utility from holding more
than 20 per cent of the capital stock
of another utility.
Since then Congress frequently has
urged merger of the street railway
companies and talked about forcing it.

Court has indicated the right of pub
lie utilities to specific return on physi-
cal valuation.
Indirectly this corporation was re-
sponsible for bringing the North
American Co. into this field. 1t was
the stock in the Washington Railway
& Electric Co. that was exchanged for
Utilities shares and purchased for
cash, in all 27.500 shares of Railway
acquired from the local bankers who
had foreclosed a. loan thereon.
The Washington Utilities was or.
ganized as the Maryland & Virginia
Railway Co. in 1912, changed to for.
mer title in a few months, and in the
Fall Of 1912 merged with the Wash.

by congressional action. Liquidation

NEW YORK, November Steel
mills continued to report consumin;,
demand. especially for the last quar-
ter as generally disappointing. Dur
ing the week there were further
slight price concessions offered on
certain qualities, the result of in.
creased competition. Western mills
reported some slight Improvement in
the volume of railroad buying, large
ly for track supplies. Locally the pig
iron market was dull and prices were
unsettled. Liberal purchases we're re.
ported in the Southern market at re.
cent price reductions.
An advance of 1s in the domestic
copper market during the past week
was attributed largely to a continual
ton of good export demand and
strength of the London market. Oc.
tober exports are estimated by some
in the trade as the highest on record
and buyers are combining purchases
to small lots for nearby delivery, with
producers asking 1873 for electroly.
tic delivered in the Connecticut
Valley.

lowest point since September, 1925.
London weakness and large straits

Prices rallied somewhat later. with q

Lead was unchanged. Producers
reported g. satisfactory volume of
business.
Zinc continued easy. There was
no reduction in mining operations
despite the unsatisfactory SUPPLY
position. Consuming demand improy.

shipment as well as through to Jan.

November -. 1S00.-The first mes
sage of a President of the United
States to Congress, in the city of
WashinCton, was delivered today by
President John Adams. Mr.. Adams
went to the Capitol at noon and
spoke before a joint session of the
House and Senate. The heads of the
Government departments and the
Presidents secretary accompanied
him. When he appeared in the hall
all of the Senators and Representa-
tives arose to greet him. In the words
of one writer who witnessed the cere-
mony, n brilliant circle of ladies added
grace and beauty to the scene The
"two extensive galleries were filled
with rows of spectators. rising above
each other, so that the whole together
formed a most interesting picture.
The Senate chamber" says this
writer. sis in the form Of an amphi-
theater, having large arches support
ing the gallery, above which is d row
of lofty pillars extending to the cell
ing, and the apartment. being hand
somely painted and furnished. has a
very magnificent appearance"
However, the proposed procession
to conduct Mr.. Adams from the Presi-
dents house to the Capitol was a NOR
tifying failure. Notwithstanding all
of the elaborate plans of the local citi'
Zens, there was no procession. The
reason for this ffasco is not clear, but
it is rumored that some dispute re-
specting the appointment of the mas
ter of ceremonies prevented the dis
play of the citizens"
November 29. 1860.-The Washing
ton banks today suspended specie pay
ments on account Of the threats of
civil war which have followed the
election of Mr.. Lincoln and the with
travail Of denosits hY Northerners.
