The feature of the market for
local securities during the past
year was gradual hardening
of prices, with but few exceptions.
The affairs OF the Central Railroad and
Banking Company, in which many citi-
zens and Savannah Institutions are in
terested, are being adjusted and by or
before the first of next January it is ex-
pected the reorganization will be consum-
mated. The present plan of reorganiza-
ton has been accepted by all holders of
Central securities, and it appears to be
thought well of generally. When that
matter is all Strengthened out and fully
adjusted, renewed prosperity and increas-
ed trade in securities may be expected.
The purchasers of the Savannah, Ameri
Gus and Montgomery, now the Georgia
and Alabama Railway Company. having
ample and sufficient means, are shortly
expected to build into the city, and have
their own terminals and thus be in posi-
tion to bring their freight and passengers
TO tide water. This will tend TO swell the
business of this port,
The Southern railway will also have an
outlet through the CentraPs properties,
giving it all the aid and influence a cor
portation of its magnitude yields. The
outlook for this port in transportation
facilities were never better, and the mar
ket for railroad securities will continue
to harden.
The banking institutions of the city re-
fleet the returns of better times in their
clearances. The volume of the transac-
lions at the clearing house shows a heavy
and steady increase in comparison with
the previous year. The immense amount
of cotton received here and exported dur
ing the season contributed greatly 10 the
large clearances. The heavy movement
of naval stores at satisfactory prices also
added, in a marked degree, to the in
creased business, while the steadily in
creasing trade in a number of the whole
sale lines during the past three months
has aided in keeping up the increased per-
centages.
1t will be seen that the increase in the
clearances was steady throughout the
more each month than the previous one
year, being between 100000 and $3000,0 900,
with the exception of the month of March
when there was a slight decrease. The ag-
gregate increase for the year was about
$4,000 900.
A better idea of the situation
may be obtained from the tables publish
ed herewith. The following table by
months shows a statement compared
with that Of last year, of the clearings
of the associated banks. While the ig-
ures do not represent the actual business
Of the port, they approximate fairly a
good percentage:

RICE.

The Savannah rice crop, although of
very much smaller value than cotton or
naval stores nevertheless deserves, a.
place side by side with those products, as
one Of the money crops Of this immediate
vicinity. II is the staple production and
principal source Of wealth of an entire
section, and its marketing and cleaning
s an Important industry in this city.
Savannah's receipts of rice during the
past year were very much smaller than
We're those of the big crop Of two years
larity with the crop of 1884 which was
about 100000 bushels less than the yield Of
the year Immediately preceding.
The last crop was light one compar-
ed with the standard established two
years ago. The decrease was caused
principally by the smaller amount Of
acreage planted. As more of the crop
mad been carried over, the offerings OF
domestic rice did not suffice for the con-
sumption, and there was larger impor-
tations of foreign rice, particularly dur
range of prices was quite satisfactory
and producers had no cause to complain.
The first rice began to come In early in
September but the receipts were not
crowded on the market in excessive guam
titles at any time during the year. The
crop was judiciously marketed and as a
result very steady range Of prices was
maintained, and there was no excessive
supply carried at the mills. There was
no difficulty in handling tho crop prompt
ly at the mills as their capacity was suffi-

owing to the reduced yield compared
with the yield Of preceding years, the
producers were able to sell their product
for a better range of prices. Prices on
out the year. averaging about S. cents

sumption it was lucky that the crop
proved small, but their is no doubt that
large imports of foreign rice helped quite
as much to cause a dullness at times as
the reported shrinkage In consumption.

JURIES IN POLICE COURTS
Judgments Reversed Because They
Were Denied
II Not Unconstitutional, the Whitney Act at
Least Is Fatally Discriminative In
Its Provisions

The cases Of All 10y and Guen Yuen,
Cinnamon convicted in the police court
of gaming, and fined, came up on appeal
in Department One of the Sup erior Court
yesterday.
Judge Smith reversed the Judgment OF
the lower court in each instance, because
the defendants had been refused juries,
and granted them new trials. The court
said that in view of recent decision OF
the Supreme Court on habeas corpus pro-
ceedings. wherein the petitioner.a Chinese
doctor. had been ordered discharged from
custody. after having been convicted OF
illegally practicing medicine, because the
police magistrate had denied him trial
by jury, it was almost impossible to know
which statutory offenses were proper ones
to be adjudicated without jury and
which ones must be tried with panel.
Indeed, the decision of the Supreme
Court was nearly tantamount to declaring
the Whitney act unconstitutional; at any
rate it pointed out that 1t was discrimina-
tive. because it prescribed that while in
smaller communities a defendant could
not be denied jury in any misdemeanor
case, he was not, under the act entitled
to such trial in cities OF 30, 600 inhabl- :
tants and over, where police judges had
jurisdiction in all cases except eXamlna-
tiOns for felony.
Under the decision cited the court ques-
toned the advsabilty of refusing de-
fendant jury trial in any case that
might come up where the offense to be
tried was one created under the statutes
and not previously known to common
law.
AS all criminal appeals from police and
Justices courts are heard by the Judge OF
Department One. his opinion. expressed
in the cases of All Loy and Guen Yuen,
will probably induce police judges to allow
jures to all defendants when demanded.
