uary, and it is at standstill for the next
six months CT until the time arrives for the
movement of another corn crop in the south
western state.

arrived on the steamer Coptic and was not
permitted to land, Judge Hoffman, of the
q. S. district court, to-day sustained the
writ of habeas corpus permitting him to

was merchant and consequently needed
none. Three other Cinnamon are detained
on the Coptic, and the district attorney

collector of the port could make inquiries
and if satisfied they were merchants. could
allow them to land.
