A DISSENTING VOICE.
Judge ThOrntOn,s opinion In the

Judge ThCrntOn's opinion In the
spring Valley Case.
SAN FRANCISCO, January 11.-Juetice
Thornton today filed dissenting opin.
ion in the case of the Spring Valley
Water Works against the city and
county of San Francisco, involving the
power of the Board of Supervisors to fix
the water rates, and recently decided by
the Supreme Court in favor OF the COM
pany. Justice Thornton is of
the opinion that the Court erred
in overruling the demurrer to the COM
plaint, as the complaint was defective in
not showing on its face by the proper
averment that the rates fixed by the Su.
pervisors are unjust or unreasonable,
and will not yield to plaintiff all the reve-
nue., to which, under the law, it is enti-
tied. The complaint, the opinion
says, does not furnish data or state
facts from which court can
see that the rates allowed by the ordi-
nance are not just and reasonable.
Moreover, that it does not appear that
plaintiff company furnished the Super,
Hieesa 1fit hsJtt7on Or the act OF 1851,
thus failing to place itself in a position
emitting 1t to be heard in a court of
equity.

The song of tho snee.zon.

I've got most distressing cold
Or something in my head, sir;
My misery simply can't be told
I ought to be in bed, sir;
And If it lasts another day
without q sudden check, sir
I'll sneeze my blasted brains away
Or dislocate my neck, sir.
This Russian influenza,

Ah-choO, ah-chee, ah- oh, ah.chee.
This Russian influenza
It's something like neuralgia,
And something like bronchitis.
Like measles, whoOping cough, catarrh.
Or touch of larry ngiis;
It's everything that's bad by turns
And nothing very nice, sir;
Ali down my spinal cord it burns,
And then it's cool as ice, sir.
This Russian influenza, etc.
swallowed twenty quinine pills
And got no better fast sir:
Tried physic, ipecac and squills,
And then mustard plaster
I've soaked my feet IN scaldinR I've.
And taken q hot toddy,
And yet the pains shoot constantly
All through my head and body.
This Russian influenzs, etc.
My wife is suffering from the same
And likewise my wife's mother.
And all the children In the house
Are sneeziug at each other.
It's spreading 'mongst the neighbore, too.
And sorely twill affiict 'em;
Don't laugh at this, ah-chee, ah-choo,
May be you're the next victim.

the wlping out of the bank reserves and
the unusually severe drop in the cOndi-
ton of all cereal scrops in the past
month, as Indicated by the government
crop report, these were inclined to push
their movement for lower prices to-day,
and although there was undoubtedly
considerable support given certain
stocks and the covering of shorts by the
local operators was of no mean proper
tions, prices we're forced off from % to
IL per cent through the list. TO this
emf there was again considerable manlp-
ulation of the money market, and. al
though the reserves are again down to a
very low figure, In view of the present
small proportions of the stock specula-
ton, there could be no legitimate de-
mand which would run rates up to the
height attained to-day. The vigorous
efforts of the officials OF the New York
Central to get things going had
the effect of pushing the Vanderbilt
stocks from the prominent position as
leaders of the downward movement,
which they occupied on Saturday, and
more attention was given to the grang-
ers, while certain weak spots among the
specialties were not forgotten. Stocks
renewed at high rates, how
loan crowd showed that the
market, taking into consideration the
supply, was somewhat OversOld, and
after sufficient testing the pressure was
again withdrawn and dizziness and stag
nation marked the late dealings, al
though owing to the apathy of the bull
leaders and the hesitation among would
be investors. caused by the condition OF
the financial situation and the uncer-
taintieS still hanging over the railroad
situation, there was no effort made to
bring about rally. The early London
figures were materially lower than ours
of Saturday, and the pressure was re-
neWed here so that the opening was
generally at small fractions below the
final figures of Saturday. while Lake
Shore was down per cent aud T., T.,

ties there was no further immediate
material decline, and on an unusually
large business the decline was soon
checked, and a rally inaugurated in
which the early losses were generally
recovered. The recent unfavorable COM
ments upon the coal trade, however.
made Reading still fair mark for the
bears, and it failed to recover with the
rest of the list. The grangers also dis
played considerable weakness in the
face of the general Improvement at the
time. After the early liquidation was
completed, however, money began to

money are known to be to large eX-
tent artificial, and when money was bid
up as high as 20 per cent last week it
was we'll known that some of the banks
were at the same time offering large
sums to any well-knOwn commission
house at 6 per cent on the ordinary col
laterals. and last Friday some such
loans were made at per cent. This
forenoon money opened at 8 per cent
and by 1890 was bid up to 20 per cent,
and though this caused a small frac-
tional decline in stocks after IL o'clock,
it was soon recovered. On the other
hand, the announcement made about l
o'clock that freight was again moving
out of the New York freight houses of
the New York Central, and that along
the line of the road the only obstruction
or fear of trOnble was at Syracuse,
undoubtedly stopped the selling OF
stocks and gave the market a
tirmer tone. So that it may be
assumed that if the strike comes to an
end the stock market would not be de-
pressed very much by the rates for
money. The differences in rates of in
terest between London and New York
is so great that it weakened the ex-
change market, and this forenoon some
of the Canadian banks in this city re-
duced their rates below the gold export
ing point. The loss of reserve by the
banks last week was due to the gold
exports of the previous ten days, but
with the present rates for money it IS
not probably that any more gold will
be exported very soon. The total sales
