week from first hands, and the market was
steady on the whole, although a few accumu-

lower rates, and increased discounts were made
on others; yet at the end of the week a firmer
feeling was developed, and the market closed
with an upward tendency on bleached shirtings.

Spring styles were very quiet in first hands. and

Bleached sheetings and shirtings were in steady
demand for both package and piece lots, and
prices became stronger towards the close Of the

yancing tendency. Foreign goods were appa-
rently quiet during the week, but nevertheless

A Mixed Case of Indecent Pictures
and Charge Of Larceny.

Last evening about dark a spinster- looking
woman COMPLAINED to Lieut.. NoOnaD, Of the ID
precinct, that she had lost a gold breastpin,
containing q likeness of a deceased friend from
the IhOtOs raphic gallery of VIM. McCerter 7OS
1th street. where she is employed in paintiny
and finishing pictures, and that she had good
cause to suspect two young girls who had Wis
tied the gallery that afternoon to have their
pictures taken She gave the name aud resi-
denee Of one Of the girls, and after telling All
she knew about IL Lieut.. NOonan directed On
GERS Sullivan ana McDermOtt TO 90 out and
bring them in. They went first TO the gallery,
where they took look at the pictures
time they had them both at the station,
when on searching them no breastpin was
found, but each one had a picture of herself
taken in grossly indelicate style. They stated
them taken in this manner, and il should not
cost them anything, and that afterwards he
begged the N to have them taken in a still more
indecent manner, which they would not
consent TO. On being questioned about
the pin, the smaller one of the two said
that the other one stole il from a SHELF
where il was lying, and that they had sold
~ at jewelry store on 9Th street for Sl-5O.
They were locked up, and this morning were
taken TO the Police Court, when the owner of
the pin, with McC1rter, appeared to testify
against them. On hearing the story, Mr.. Gloss.
prosecuting attorney. told her that he would not
prosecute the case; that she and McCarter de-
served more punishment than the girls for en-
gsging in so immoral business The woman
theTeupOn took herself of, eXcusing herself as
she went out b. saying that she was not present
when the pictures were taken. McCarter fol-
lowed her, and the girls were taken from the
dock into the witness room, where they were
questioned, and reiterated what has been stated
and further said that McC. had made improper
proposals to them in his gallery. After caution
ing them on the consequences OF such loose
conduct they were permitted to leave. They
