HARD CASH
Quiet and Steady Market, With Supply
Equal to All Demands,

- The local money market was quiet and
steady yesterday. Supply of funds was
ample and demand moderate. Rates were
unchanged at 515@7 per cent as the ex-
tremes Exchange and currency were about
even. Bank clearings were s., ,2G0, 456 IA, and
balances $780, GAL 81.
The Wall Street Neaos says: "Silver bullion
certificates are again prominent. The point
has been given out assiduously that one or
two prominent houses in the street had
bought largely of the certificates and partly
for foreign account. The demand at London
from India having practically ceased at the
moment and the recent support given to the
price here having been withdrawn in late
dealings, the price fell to 100A As we have
ali along held, however, the presumption is
that the recent movements have been
purely the result of local manipulation, ,hav-
ing in view Congressional action next
winter"
At New York yesterday money on call was
easy, ranging from to ~ per cent, last loan

GAME LAWS BADLY MIXED.
Judge Magee Says They Are Perp1exinf
Pieces of Patchwork.

Judge Magee handed down an opinion yes
terday in the cases OF the Commonwealth VS.
George II. Grady and James Stevenson for a
violation of the game laws in fishing out of
season with net. The defendants were
fined by Alderman Richards and took an ap-
peal. They also gave $500 bail for trial in
court.
There seemed to be some mistake in the
i'm court. after the defendants had given bail
for court. The case then would have been
one of misdemeanor and tried by jury.
Judge Magee took occasion to note in his
opinion that ''the game and fish laws as
piece of patchwork, are in very perpleNing
shape" and he was inclined to excuse coun-
sci for furnishing him very little aid in their
solution. The appeal of defendants was dis
missed as improvidently allowed as not be-
ing in proper form, the hearing in court be-
ing extra judicial and therefore the case
must go to trial as a misdemeanor.

suit.
Late Saturday afternoon an accident
occurred in the Mississippi between Rock
Island and Davenport which came very
near resulting seriously. A man and
boy riding in sail boat got in the way of
the ferry. Spencer. They managed their
craft so that they were compelled to bear
down on the Spencer, bows on. and the
WIND and the short space they had to
handle their boat in did not allow them to
bring the sail over and put about so as to
get out of the way. The result was that
In trying to cross the Spencers bow,
they collided with her. The Spencer
stood the shock bravely, being quite un.
injured. but the ssilboat came to speedy
grief. 1t instantly went over and filled.
The boy caught the rail of the ferryboat
as they struck and clinging to it. was
saved without difficulty. His companion
was less fortunate. He was thrown into
the water and swept straight toward the
paddle wheel. which luckily was stopped
