The upturn apparently was base*
largely on the oversold condition of th<

Be.vond Oiling an order for a couple of
rt the honds of the Norfolk and Washington
1- Steamboat Company at 105. some odd lots
J of Washington preferred sto^ k. one quoe
tatlon lot at 88. and some Capital Traction
at 123, there was not much done at
- the meeting today of the stock exchange.
Announcement was made of the declare
| ration of the regular quarterly dividend
e ; of P; per cent and an extra dividend of
t lone-half of 1 per cent by the Mergenthaler
t'ompany. The hid declined, as j
1 compared with yesterday's figures, a
- quarter of a point.
s Four shares of Federal Bank stock sold
1. for lHS^ and the bid for ten was 137 and
the asking price 139.
n Five shares of Farmers and Mechanics'
y Bank stock were offered at 275. The bid
d for ten shares was 254, with no offering,
k Five shares of Second National Bank
:1 stock were offered at 165, and ten shares
t at 169. The bid for the latter was I62li.
The bid for the stock of the Potomac
Fire Insurance Company was continued at
30. with no offering. The change in the
- control of the company, when the New
i York interests parted with their holdings
p to a Scottish company, has not affected
the market condition of this stock, which
e has been on the inactive list for some
? time. The last sale of the stock was
1 made at 34. which at the present rate of
dividend is slightly above a 5 per cent
y level.
The controlling stock interest of John
A. Kelly & Co.. fire insurance brokers of
New York city, in the Potomac Fire In
surance Company of this city, which was
f acquired about four years ago, has been
j purchased by the General Accident Fire,
IAfe and Assurance Corporation of Perth,
1 Scotland.
Of tlie S.0O0 shares, par value $25, of
1 the Potomac company all but 1.200 have
e been transferred to the new owners, who
expect to continue the business of the
company, which is national in its scope,
?. as heretofore and with the same office
r force.
4 It l? ttio intention of the new- owners to '
increase the stock of the Potomac Com
pany from $200,000 to $1,000,000 and have
i a surplus of $500,000. The balance of the
i outstanding stock will be acquired by the
controlling interest by purchase. In rer
cent weeks about 1.000 shares have been
5 bought at the current rates, which have
varied from $30 to $35 per share,
g No change has been made in the stock
control of John A. Kelly & Co. in the
? Franklin Fire Insurance Company of this
city, which was acquired several years
. ago and which is still retained.

CHICAGO.
CHICAGO, March 1.?Although* wheal

account of firm cables, the effect was
soon lost. The Oklahoma crop report
was bearish, and there was additional
rain or snow in the Ohio valley and in
the southwest. Opening prices were
unchanged to 'iaU up. May started al
ill' 7g to !?". a gain of a shade to Via 14
but reacted to 92V An additional de
cline in wheat followed. The close was
weak, V?a% net lower for May at 02V*.

sag. May opened the same as last

which has resulted in great injury and
damage to the plaintiff company.
Brought About Inquiry.
Tt is also alleged that for the purpose
of damaging the companies the defend
i ants suggested and caused to be passed
1 a resolution by the House ordering an
( investigation of the companies and their
, relation to the superintendent of insurance
for the District of Columbia by the
, presentation of false and malicious statements.
The defendants also are charged
with having fdlsely represented bo Speak
er Clark. Representative Robert I* Henry,
chairman of the committee on rules,
and to Representative Ben Johnson.
, chairman of the House District committee.
and to "divers other members
of the House of Representatives.
and to other persons, that .
there was corrupt collusion between the i
plaintiffs and the superintendent of insur- |
ante of the District of Columbia, for the,]
: purpose of securing an excessive valuai
tion to be placed by appraisement upon
i the Southern building in order that the
companies might "rob the poor and ig- ]
I norant people throughout the Union in the
i sale of stock.' "
i The plaintiffs further say that the det
fendants. in pursuance of this alleged
. purpose and conspiracy, falsely repre
sented to members of the blouse of
s Representatives, and committees, and
others, that Robert R. Tuttle, the
? president and a director of the
Commercial Fire Insurance Company,
t and Richard "Wightman. director in that
company, "were insurance thieves, and
i had been driven out of the state of
i New York on account of wrongs and
frauds there committed by them."
i Use of Gould's Name.
The plaintiffs also allege that the defendants
represented to members of the
^ House and others that Justice Ashley
M. Gould of the Supreme Court of the
District of Columbia, and a director in
t lie Commercial Fire Insurance Company.
was being paid $5,000 a year for
the use of his name as a director, for
the purpose of enabling the company
. to rob "poor and ignorant people of tlie
Union through the sale of stock."
The plaintiffs further allege tHat the
defendants had represented the companies
as makeshifts and not legitimate insurance
companies. They also are charged
with having represented to members of
Congress and others that the superin;
tendent of insurance for the District
would, on account of his acts in regard
' to the appraisement of the Southern
building, he promptly dismissed .by the
; District Commissioners. This representation
was false, the plaintiffs assert. It
was Intended, they declare in their suits,
for the purpose of causing the House to
bring about an investigation of the com1
panies, and intending to injure and assassinate
the companies through publicity,
with or without congressional action.
How Business Is Hurt.
In conclusion the plaintiffs assert that
by reason of the alleged wrongs and
grievances by the defendants persons
who heretofore represented the companies
, and sent in much business have refused
i to represent them any longer. The insurance
departments in several states

panies, it is asserted, as the result of the
alleged wrong of tlie defendants, and
have refused to renew them.
Residents of the "District of Columbia
? and other places have canceled their policies
and others have refused to accept policies
in the companies, it Is further al
leged. "Other great and lasting damages"'
1 are alleged to have been suffered by the
companies. For these each company sues
' to recover $230,000 from the defendants.

FIGHT TO BE RENEWED.
b Two-Battleship Advocates and Opponents
in House to Lock Horns.
t The two-battleship men and the one
battleship men in the House prepared
1 early today for a fight on the naval bill.
' The Senate last night restored many of
l the original provisions struck out by
t the House, and when the bill came back
to the Speaker's desk today it provided
for two battleships, six torpedo boat det
strovers, four submarines, one transport
r and one supply ship.
The plan of the House leaders in charge
| of the bill was to disagree to the Senate
1 amendments and send the bill to further
t conference, but some of the two-battle)
f?hip men in the House planned to make
? a fight to concur with the Senate amendt
ments. With these battle lines drawn,
Representative Padgett of Tennessee,
chairman of the naval committee, was
ready to either ask for a suspension of
the rules to feet quirk action on the
sending of the bill to conference or to
resort to a special rule from the rules
committee.
