Potomac T'ilectrie j ' onsoli?lated 5s were slightly stronger. ; l??o'4 being paid for $2,000. Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone 5s sold i at 105. j Hank exchanges in January displayed considerable irregularity compared ! with a year ago. t<?tal returns from ' 128 cities in tin* United States amount ing to IHI.109.6SP. 1 l*J, a decrease of 0.3 per cent, according to Dun's Review. The comparison with 1912, however, is much more favorable, as a Rain over ; that year is shown of no less than 7.1 | per c ut. The exhibit by N**w York is ! comparativelx satisfactory, there being ! gains at that center of 0.4 and 0.1 per ! cent, respectively, as contrasted with the two earlier years. A portion of this j improvement is due to greater activ ity in the financial markets, but it also reflects some expansion in ordinary I business operations. Most irregular ! ity is shown in the returns of the out l side cities, only two sections, the south j and the central states, reporting an I increase over last year, but while the I total is 1.2 per cent smaller than in j 1012. there is a gain in comparison I with two years ago of x.5 per cent. While some Increase in the business | mortality of this country is to be ex ! pected during January, the failure rec | ord for last month was particularly ad | verse in respect to the sum of money involved, according to Dun's Review. Total commercial defaults were 1.S57 in number and supplied liabilities of no I less than ?:i9.374,:J47 against 1 SI 4 in 191.1 for $22,972,769. 1.S97 for $19.77ft. ' 530 two years ago. 1,663 for $24,090,649 | in 1911 and 1.510 in 1910, when the amount was $32,015,754. From a , numerical standpoint the comparison i with 1913 was fairly satisfactory, and j there were forty fewer insolvencies than 'in 1912: but. owing to several reverses | of exceptional size, the indebtedness was swelled far above normal. ! Commercial failures last week in the I T'nited States numbered 372 against 395 j I a ? ? t week. 456 the preceding week and j 309 the corresponding week last year. LOCAL STOCK EXCHANGE.

U"#ncv. probably the best j known liveryman in Washington, died at j his home, 1013 17th street northwest, this morning. Death was the result of an at-I tack <f erysipelas, complicated with other!

Gov. Glynn. Attorney General Car mody and other New York state of ficials urged the House foreign affairs committee today to authorize diver i sion of Niagara river "water for power purposes at an aggregate daily rate of l?0,0(>0 cubic feet a second within New York's jurisdiction. The delegation later conferred .with Chairman Sparkman of the rivers and harbors committee, urging improvement of the Hudson river by deepening of the channel., the improvement of East river. Lake Cliamplain and oilier state projects. Mr. Glynn and Mr. Carmody disputed J the federal government's right to in terfere with state regulation of Niagara water, except as it might affect com merce or national defense. They favored the bill which, under the treaty with Great Britain of January 11. r.NH?, would permit the diversion up to *_'<>,<>00 cubic feet a second, instead of the present l.~,ouo-odd feet, pursuant to permits by the Secretary of War at the application of state officials.
