country exchanges, notably the Charleston
(Mo.) Courier, have grasped eagerly at YER

from Messrs. Farnb4ker & Co., who refuse

receiving property and less determined to
hold it in spite of law when It is proven to
hsve been stolen. They would then be
less liable to the charge of willfully doing
an Ilegtimate business.
