Important Matters Considered at the Meeting Yesterday. A meeting of the beard of directors of the board of trade was held yesterday after- noon, at which several subjects of import- ance to the District were discussed and the work of the board of trade for the current year considered. Messrs. C. G. Conn, B. T. Janney, A. Maurice Low, H. O. Towles, B. J. Coyle, Frederick B. Pyle, George C. Esher and W. E. Lewis were elected to membership. The secretary of the board was author- ized to have printed 2,000 copies of a hand book of Washington, now in course of preparation by him. It was also decided to print for th> use of the board a compre- hensive report on the subject of the rela- Uoas of our local government to the general sovernment, which has been compiled by a special committee, of which Mr. W. Dodge is chairman. The secretary brought to the attention of the members the fact that he is in re- ceipt of several important communications from out-of-town parties, looking toward the establishment of extensive manufactur- ing plants in the District. The committee on commerce was given especial charge of the subject. The com- mittee on public buildings was requested to investigate the question of the needs of the office of inspector of buildings to secure greater protection to property and life in the District. The date of the next meeting of the board of trade was fixed for October 24. ——— FAVORITE RESORT. The Exclusive Novelties Which Are the Features at Perry's. Exclusive novelties are the features of the stock that crowds the shelves and counters of Perry's greot establishment, Pennsyl- vanla avenue and 9th street. The twenty- eight departmenis are filled with the best that the markets of the world afford, and the prestige of this establishment, which for over fifty years has been a favorite re- sort for Washington shoppers, {s fully main- tained. One of the things about Perry's which everybody likes is that It keeps fully abreast of the times. Mr. Perry makes it @ point to have nothing but rellable goods, with the prices marked in figures that every one can read. The cream of the fall market is offered at reasonable prices, and 4 great force of »mployes are kept busy in attending to the wants of customers, and the hum of bustling activity throughout this establishment is an indication of the public appreciation of the enterprise, skill and taste displayed. Everything that a first-class, wide-awake, reliable dry goods house ought to carry is found in this estab- lishment. Some of the lines may be enu- merated, such as oriental silks, dress good: black goods, embroideries, silks, sati velvets, trimmings, gloves, hosiery, house- hold linen, bed furnishings, upholstery goods, tea gowns, furs, wraps, cloaks, &c., in fact, everything that a first-class, mod- ern dry goods establishment is supposed to contain.

While taking a morning stroll I was at- tracted to Battery Park. It was an intense- ly hot day, and even the trees had a thirsty, feverish look. A lot of Russians, who had landed a few days before, were there seat- ed in the midday sun. They wore huge snuff-colored overcoats and astrachan caps. You could almost hear them parboiling. The children have little idea of common de- ceney, and some of their antics were, to say the Icast, peculiar. They were dressed in somber hues; yet many wore the Turkish fez. They looked heavy, and played with little energy. One youngster managed to get into mischief, which the paternal thought proper to strikingly rebuke. ‘This elicited a volley of Turkish lingo from the spouse, whereupon he turned and gave her a resounding smack on the cheek, whic! duced her to submission. Just at the terminals of the Battery Park the office of the dock commission 1s situ- ated. New York city never seils her wharf- age, and the docks, numbering 225, are al- ways retained as city property. The im- provements are, of course, the possessions of the various lessees. The revenues 2c- cruing from the rental of these wharves zgregate about two millions of dollars a year. This is controlled by the city, and expended for street cleaning, street Mght- ing and various other purposes.

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS Bpecial Dispatch to The Evening Stan NEW YORK, October 6.—Prices opened strong and fractionally higher this morn- ing, without regard for London's fractional concessions in the market for American stocks. The sentiment of the trading ele- ment warrants a belief in higher prices during the month. The fashion of selling on all rallies has been abandoned in favor of purchases on declines. Political influences are being carefully studied and watched by speculators generally, who regard the ap- Proaching elections as the next legitimate incentive to activity. The street is confi- dent that an anti-administration victory is assured this fall, and that further silver and tariff agitation will be thereby averted. A theory in Wall street does excellent duty for a condition, and traders are likely to begin a general discounting of their present views which will result in better prices. The strong closing today augurs well for improved values at the beginning of next week's business. There ts still a strong pro- fessional element at work, but the ual improvement in both sentiment and condi- tions is likely to enlist some good outside support. Srould this support fail a rally will be substituted for a sustained effort, but will not affect the immediate tendency of values, While this element of doubt ex- ists quick profits will be the order of the day with careful traders. The contest for the presidency of the Reading road is growing quite spirited, as the date for the closing of the company's books approaches. Only one week remains for stock transfers, and trading in the stock today based on the theory that the demand would have a favorable in- fluence on the price during this time. On moderate dealings an advance of 1 1-4 per cent was recorded. The buying of Westera Union for the ac- count of a prominent operator marked the price of that stock up 1 1-8 per cent. There is a moderate upward movement in pros- pect for this property, if the character of recent buying is correctly interpreted. St. Paul and Burlington each gained 1-2 per cent oa small transactions. Chicago Gas was again the feature of the market, selling up 1 5-8 per cent to 73 5-8 on good buying by competent judges its value. A further rise of 5 per cent is sald to be contemplated by those identified with the present movement. No valuable bene- fits have recently accrued to this prop- erty and no sudden expansion of business has been disclosed, but the dominant in- terests in the stock are now willing, after a successful campaign on the short side, to let real merit aid in the establishment of its market value. ‘The banks have lost about $614,000 in law- ful money during the week, all in legal tenders. The most important change in averages is reflected in an increase of near- ly 000 in the loan account. This in- crease is more than reflected in the de- posits, which are $700,000 larger than the net result of the changes previously men- tioned abcve. The loss in cash holdings and the added sum made necessary by the tn. crease In deposits reduces the surplus re- serve to $50,500,000. The statement in di tail shows: Reserve decreased $1,340,87: loans increased $2,716,200, specie increased $204,606, legals decreased $818,500, deposits inercased 57,000 and circulation § in- crea FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, The following are the opening, the high- est and the lowest and the closing price. of the New York stock market today, as rc ported by Corson & Macartney, memb> New York stock exchange.
