Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, Sept. 13.-Today's market
opened fractionally above last nights clos
ing, but was duh and characteriess. Promi-
nent operators who were instrumental in
making up prices, have quietly unloaded at
top figures and are temporarily out of the
market. The usual retinue of small traders
were easily shaken out, and the market has
narrowed and become more professional In
consequence.
Moderate buying for London resulted in
higher prices and renewed activity at the
end of the first hour. The carrying rates
for new account In that market are down to
and 1-2 per cent. and foreign operators
are inclined to buy on all reactions. A re-
duction of the Bank of England's discount
rate to per cent is predicted for tomorrow.

SEEKING JOHN sHEA's RELEASE.
Counsel Petition Judge McCOmas for
"a Writ of Habeas Corpus.

This afternoon, as intimated in The Star
several days ago would be the case Messrs
Cook and Clark, counsel for John Shea,
who several weeks ago was convicted in
the Police Court for the second time OF
selling liquor without license. laid before
Judge McComas of the District Supreme
Court an application for the issuance of n
writ of habeas corpus. Shea was sentenced
upon his second conviction to six months
In the workhouse ard to pay fine of $500.
and In default of the fine to six months
additional in the workhouse.
The petition for the writ of habeas CORPUS
recites at length the record of the trial of
Shea before Judge Mills and a jury in the
Police Court, and prayS that the prison er,
who Is now confined in the workhouse. may
be discharged from custody. Five principal
grounds are relied upon in the petition, as
follows: First, that Shea'S sentence was
contrary to law and therefore could not
legally be imposed. the act of March 3, 1893.
under which the Information was fled. re-
Quiring both fine and Imprisonment without
authorizing an additional Imprisonment in
default of the fine.
Second. that there was no authority for
the appointment Of Jude Mills to preside
over the court In the absence Of Judge Mil
Ter: third, that the warrant OF commitment
was addressed to the intendant of the work
house. when in fact there is no such officer
known to the laws In force here: fourth.
that the sentence to the work house i'm
poses hard labor. thereby making the Of
Tense an Infamous one and requiring an in
dictment by the grand jury, and. fifth. that
the defendant was robbed of any right of
appeal from the Judgment rendered against
him.
The petition also contains other grounds
upon which IL is claimed the defendant Is
entitled to be discharged, but those not
mentioned refer mainly to the illegality of
the Information filed against the defendant
and to the conduct of the trial
Shea's counsel briefly explained to Judge
McComas their contentious. and after the
court had read the petition he Informed
counsel that so many points had been
raised in the petition that before directing
the writ TO issue he would prefer TO have
them submit their authorities, and stated
that he hoped to render his decision In the
matter tomorrow morning.
All that Shea's counsel ask at the present
time Is that the writ issue as matter of
right, and that the prosecution be then d.
rected to show cause at a proper time why
the defendant Should not be discharged as
prayed 1t Is probable that Judge NcComas
will grant that much as a matter of right.
and then appoint an early day for argu-
ment.
