Wall Street To-Day.

NEW YORK, May 6-The Posts financial article
says: At the Stock Exchange United States bonds
are again q higher for the 4s and AVS. The other
issues are unchanged. Southern state bonds are
dull and firm: Railroad bonds are strong and
higher. The stock market, the result of fluctu-
ations thus far to-day, is up 4 ~ In the active
stocks, and 4 a ~ in the inactive list. The
strongest stocks OF active list have advanced
TO the following figures: jersey Central to 72A;
Wabash to a17s; Del. L. & w. to 1908; Reading to
58k; Western Union Telegraph to S5H: Lake
Shore to 103A: Omaha to 401 and 103, and Mis-
souri, Pacific to @4. In the Inactive list the fea-
lures for strength have been Milwaukee, Lake
Shore & Western, which has advanced to 52H from
49H; Cincinnati, Sandusky & Cleveland to S.;
Manhattan Railway to 81; St Paul & Duluth Did.
TO 79x, and Oregon tranS-cOntinental to 73H.
1t Is evident that some OF the large spectators are
again encouraging rise in prices. Their special
dependence seems to be the favorable condition Of
the crops, the large immigration, easy money and
the generally sound condition OF the country. The
local money market continues extremely easy at

COUNTERFEIT THOUSAND DOLLAR BONDS
BY THE GRAND JURY.
FUNERAL HoNoRs TO MAJOR Tw1N1Ne
An Important Investigation by the
Grand Jury.

An Important Investigation by the
Grand Jury.
COUNTERFEIT Q. 8. ONE THOUSAND DOLLAR BONDS.
Yesterday two witnesses, Sam. Felker, of Chi
cago, and William P. Wood. ex-chief Of the Treas
ury secret service, appeared before the grand Jury
OF this District. They are supposed to possess
valuable information connected with the famous
counterfeit of 81 900 q. s. bonds. The witnesses
had an interview with the Secretary OF the Treas
ury last evening. Nothing definite is known in
the matter, but the superstition is that
movement Is on foot to indict
VIM. E. Brockway, who was the alleged capitalist
and instigator OF the counterfeiting project In
this connection Chas III. Smiths name is men,
TONED as being in league with Wood to fndict
Brockway. Smith was the man who engraved the
original plate from which the genuine bonds were
printed, and was at the time employed by the
National Bank Note company, and also made the
sections OF the counterfeit plate which Brockway
electrOtyped. 1t will be remembered that 2O4 OF
these spurious bonds were found upon the coun-
terfeiter Doyle at the time OF his arrest and three
other bonds were recovered from the Peoria Qll,)
bunk.
WITNESS FROM THE TREASURY TO-DAY.
The examination was continued before the grand
jury again to-day, and Chas Neal. connected for
merly with the bureau of engraving and printing,
and still employed in the Treasury department,
was before them as an expert witness He Is con-
sidered to be fine expert and is subpoened to tes-
tify in the At the time OF the capture of the
counterfeit plates, the evidence was to the effect
that some OF the sections OF the genuine plate were
stolen by Smith and Brockway and electrotyped
from them instead of from counterfeit sections.
The present investigation will prove whether the
bonds were made from an entire counterfeit plate,
or whether some OF the sections were genuine.
STARTLING DEVELOPMENTS EXPECTED.
District Attorney Corkhill states that the sub
ject was brought to his attention by Mr.. w. P
Wood, and while at present he cannot prudently
state what will be the result Of the investigation,
he is satisfied that the developments will be some
what startling and important, provided the evil
dence reaches expectation. Col. COrkhin has been
engaged in the case for over two weeks past Thus
far there have been some five or six witnesses be-
fore the grand jury, but they go through the dis
trct attorneys Office, and for prudential reasons
the names are not given.

Hucksters, Licenses.
JUDGE SMELL DECIDES THAT THE PUsH-CARr NIX
MUST BE LICENSED.

JUDGE SMELL DECIDES THAT THE PUsH-cARr MKN
MUST BE LICENSED
In the Police Court this morning Judge Smell de.
cided that the street hucksters who sell from
push-carts are required to have the same license
as those who sell from wagons drawn by horses
The court has had the matter under consideration
for two weeks He said at the time the matter
was brought before the court that he was inclined
to the belief that the law did not contemplate that
man who made himself his own burden carrier
should pay the same license as man who sold
from wagon drawn by horses, and he was
not inclined 70 stretch the law, to the
disadvantage OF these poor men, who are
trying to make an honest living. and It was also
against the interests of the public to suppress
trade. In dispostng OF the case this morning
against Giles Carter Zone OF the push-cart men|
charged with engaging In the business OF a pro
duce dealer, the court said that after making 9
thorough examination OF all the laws applicable
to tho case, he finds that the tax is on the bust
ness and not on the cart, and he would have to
hold that the law was applicable TO these men
The usual fine $50 was imposed In the case Of
carter, and execution OF sentence suspended and
defendant released on his personal bonds to get
his license.
