NEw YORK, Dec. 1s-The share speculation
to-day was extremely dull except in Sugar,
ST. Paul. and Chicago Gas, these transactions
nearly equaling two thirds Of the entire busl-
ness OF the day. The market opened iairiy

sagged OF, and the trading be anne stagnant.
Chicago Gas alone saved the market from
utter dissolution. This stock was advanced

port that the inside clique, which had been
loaning the stock, intended - call 1t in. This
was borne out. and by midday the trading in
the shares was light.
General list fluctuations in prices up to
noon were confined within limit Of Is per
cent, even the mereuriRl Sugar shares being
staid and undemonstratiFe. At noon the
general market showed losses Of a small
fraction, while two Of the speeialties showed

Humanity to the Horse.

EDITOR TIMES: Trusting you will vouchsafe
me the adequate space in your valuable
paper, cannot refrain from concurring with
the righteous spirit of the article in your is
sue OF to-day, headed Humane Society Pro-
test, in which you so consummately delin-
ealed and denounced the inhuman custom OF
the overhead check-rein, now SO prevalent in
this inteiligentl?) community by many whose
common sense, at least, should dictate better
things.
Daily have 1 witnessed along street. and
in other prominent thoroughfares, marked
instances OF this barbarous practice of horses
so tightly reined up that it seemed to me
nothing less than refined torture TO the poor
animal so unjustly deprived OF the right use
OF his muscles and tendons. which God gave
him to exercise freely in speed or relax il re-
pose.
will close with my best wishes for the
continued success and prosperity of your pro-
gressive and fearless little journal in its
higher motives for truth and justice. Very
truly, SYDNEY MARLowE.

First Parmaid Case-The new LIQUOR law
prohibits the employment OF females az bar
maids, or for other purposes in the room
where intoxieants are dispensed. The f1rst
case under this provision came up for trial in
the police court yesterday. Charles c. Brad
ley, who keeps saloon on B street, between
Ninth and Tenth streets northwest, was
charged with employing female, 8lrs. Isa-
bella Rudd, in his place. This lady denied
that she acted as bartender. She explained
that when Bradley started his place she lent
him $4,000, with the proviso that she be al
lowed to supervise the business, etc., until the
amount was repaid. Mr.. Bradley stated his
arrest was the result OF a job put upon him by
an enemy The case was dismissed.

are found everywhere. An in eigeht clel K in
