and 1909 for discounts. The government
is reported to be selling gold, A few loans
have been called in, which stimulated the

no difficulty in getting accommodation on

The New York Journal Of Commerce Of
the 18th inst. says of drygoods:
The fluctuations in prices have had the
effect to restrict orders from the interior,
and country buyers take hold cautiously
For this reason the movements of Stewart
and ClaAin in their unseemly controversy
have had an injurious influence upon the
trade. At the beginning of the week and
for several days thereafter the heavy market
for the raw material exerted a depressing
effect upon the trade in cotton fabrics but
toward the close there was more firmness.
Some look for still higher prices, but the
anxiety TO sell and the difficulty of hold
ing are too great TO secure this unless there
should be an extraordinary advance in
cotton. 1t now appears as if staple goods
would keep about their present quotations
for some weeks to come, with a general
heaviness in undesirable fabrics. Wooden
goods are steady, and the choicest styles
are meeting a ready sale at fair prices.
The pressure of the money market which
has been so severely felt among the stock
dealers, has not produced a marked effect
among the houses engaged in this trade,
and there have been no difficulties in meet
ing payments promptly. Collections are
only moderately active at the West, and
fail almost wholly at the South.
The receipts Of cotton at all the ports az
compared with 1867, give the following re-

A Liberal Construction Of the Law
hY Iudne CnrY.


A very interesting question arose in the
Circuii Court day or two since, involving
a,consiuction Of the revenue law. The
plaintiff sued on a note, which had the re-
quisite amount Of stamps on it, but the
stamps had not been cancelled, and the
question was, whether the failure to cancel
rendered the note invalid. Judge Cary
held that If party fails to put the requi-
site stamp and cancel il, with the intent 10
eVade the law, that then such party is liza
BILE to Gne Of $50; bat the note, If
stamped properly, is not void merely for
want Of cancellation. He held that the oh
leci of the law was 10 secure the revenue 10
the government, and il il was apparent. by
the stamp, that the government had got its
dues, the note was good, and proper TO 60
in evidence before the jury. We do not
see how the Judge could have decided
otherwise, and such was the sentiment Of
the bar Ii IL quite an important decision,
aud certainly correct otherwise it is ia the
power Of every one 10 defeat his own note.
unless the stroke Of pen il across the
stamp, after the government has received
its dues. Messrs. Bate and Williams for
plaintiff; Burch and Parker for defendant.

As will be seen by report elsewhere,

The attorneys employed By Judge Glenn,
who sctsunder instructions from the County
Court, are Gov. Neill s. Brown, Judge W.
+. Cooper, John Reed, Eco, VIM. f.
Wisener, and East and Spurlock.
The Chancery Court was not in session
yesterday, and Judge Cooper eneountering
Chancellor Shackelford on the street, pre-
scented a bill asking for an Injunction upon
the Board Of Commissioners. Judge Shack
elford replied that he could only hear the
bill in open Court, after the Commissioners
had been. duly notified. The bill is an
elaborate review Of the questions involved,
and declares the Legislature had no right
to enact the Law establishing the Board of
Commissioners Ii alleges that the law is
not valid, from the fact that il was not
signed by the Speakers until the adjourn
ment Of the Legislature; and further
argues that the interests of the people of
the whole county, where the interests Of
different sections are 30 varied, cannot be
snbserved under the domination Of only
three men, however capable and well dis
posed they may be.
Some actionis anticipated to-day, and the
result will be looked for as one of vital
importance to the people of this county.
