Constable Moran Saws lie Has Found One
!, Viola tor OF Liquor Law
! This is grand jury week for the April
term of quarter sessions court Judge
Archibald charged the jury yesterday
and appointed Charles Schlager fore
man. School Controller Wormser ana
ex Sheriff John j. Fahey are ON the
jury, and when the court named Mr..
Schlager reference was made to the eN-
cellent citizens who will pass upon the
indictments The constables made their
quarterly return. In only two baili-
wicks was there any liquor sold with
out licese.
Constable John G.. Moran, of the
Twelfth ward. in his return reported
that Daniel Hayes, of Stone avenue,
has been maintaining a place for the
sale OF LIQUOR without a license in Hlo-
lation of the laws regulating the safe
of the ardent. Mr.. Moran once upon n
time, but it is away back in the 'SOs.
reported Mary Ann Hayes, wife of
Daniel, for the same offense. but she
was never brought into court to answer
the charge.
RECORD is SPOILED.
There are no gambling houses in the
Twelfth. he says: there have been no
disturbances of the peace at elections;
no deer killed out of season over there.
but the roads and bridges are in only
passable condition. 1t is unfortunate
that Hayes should be the only one in
the ward to digress ami thus spoil the
brilliant record that has heretofore
been the good fortune of that bailiwick.
Constable Patrick Roach, of the
Seventh ward. reported that Henry Nc
Hale and wife, Mary Ann, Martin
Dougherty and wife, Ann; Mary Malloy
and Kate Malloy, have been guilty of
dispensing Intoxicating liquors without
a license. Constable Roach was graft
fled to say in his return that the roads
and bridges in the Seventh are i'm good
condition. Hunters have lived up to
the law down there and have not killed
any deer out of season. And as for
disturbances of the peace at elections.
none could be discovered even with one
of Roentgen's cathode rays.
Constable William Som. of Throop.
had no liquor law violations to report.
but there was an illegitimate child born
to Hannah Indian. and she alleges that
the paternity of the infant belongs to
Peter Parry.
EVIDENCE HARD TO GET.
The quartette of constables who
found something to report Is rounded
out by !. p. Dolph. of the First ward Of
Dunmore. Mr.. Dolph has heard 1t said
that there are Il few speak-ea in his

POSSIBLE WHEAT EXPORTS.

English experts in the grain trade cal
culate that Europe will require from the
United States a monthly average supply
of Il ,O00,O 600 bushels of wheat until next
July. For the seven months yet remain
ing this would imply a further eXporta-
ton of Is, ZOO, 900 bushels, which is mani
testify great deal more than the country
will have to spare, unless all calculations
of the yield and reserves have been great
ly at fault. Exports for the five months
of the crop year already expired have
been close to 75.OOO,OO0 bushels, and the
most liberal estimates of the remaining
supply do not exceed that quantity. Most
of the estimates fall much below IS ,OOO, 900
bushels.
The yield of wheat has been variously
computed at 400, 0O0, 900 bushels to 450, O00,
600 bushels. Assuming the accuracy of
the larger estimate, and that there was as
much wheat remaining in uncounted
places on July lst as at visible supply cen
ply centers, the approximate yield and re-
serves made possible ma Ximum available
supply of 545, 100000 bushels. Deduct
from that about b., 0OO, 900 bushels for
food and seed, and 25,000000 bushels for
minimum reserve to be carried into the
next crop year, and 145, 900, 900 would be
the maximum export surplus of the nited
States for the crop year 1867. Many be
lieve that this estimate is 10000, 600 to 81,
DOC, 600 bushels too high. But taking the
most hopeful view that is admissible, it
would appear that the United States have
already sent abroad in the form of wheat
and flour more than half the surplus III It
has been available for the crop year. In
view of all the facts recognized by Stats
tcans the world over, there can be no
room for doubt that Europe's requirements
will this season more nearly exhaust the
reserve stock of American wheat than in
any recent year.

THE MEETING OFCONGRESS.
The Cincinnati Enquirer in speaking
OF the meetin1 of Congress- SAYS:

The Cincinnati Enquirer in speaking
OF the meeting of Congress says:
When the Senate meets, next week, it
will find on the calendar enough impor-
tant business to keep it busy till the adj
journment On the 4th of March without
touching the appropriation bills. Of
course great deal of it will 60 into limbo
on that date, some of it to be revived and
reintroduced in the next Congress. Among
the unfinished business in the Senate is
the House bill to amend the immigration
laws, the Dingley bill to make horizon
tai raise in the tariff, and the joint resolu-
ton looking to an amendment of the con-
stitution providing for election of Sena-
tors by the people. The bill to prevent
the determination of fur bearing seals is
also pending. Then there is Senator
Squires's bill providing for Notifications
and appropriating $l0O,0OO,OOO for de-
Tense. Senator Davis has severe con-
current resolution asserting the Monroe
doctrine, and in view of the recent iiplo-
matte defeat of the United States in the
Venezuelan matter there may be a long
and hot discussion. The question of state
hood for Arizona and New Mexico, revis
ion of the navigation laws, bankruptcy,
Pacific Railroad funding, Hawaiian rela-
tions and other important matters will
press themselves on the attention of Sen
ators. And who can tell what lot of
business the Cuban question may make?
And there is the revenue deficiency and
the possibility that there will have to he
another issue of bonds.

FUTURES FORBIDDEN.

Germany is now trying, says the Baltl-
more san. i new law the object of which
is to check speculation, not alone in stocks
but also in food products, particularly i'll
grain. The government consent must
be had for establishing an exchange, and
when established its transactions will be
supervised by government official. A
court of honor is created to exclude I'M
suitable persons, especially bankrupts.
Stocks and bonds can be listed only after
an investigation of their goodness, and
the prospectus binds persons who sign ii
to make good losses due to misleading
statements or omissions. All dealings
in futures or Ion term at the exchanges
is prohibited, unless the parties are entered
on the exchange register. To get on this
register costs $50. 20 and there is an an
nual fee of Sc. Unregistered dealers can
have no legal claims arising from sales.
Dealing in grain and mill products is en-
tirely forbidden. Brokers who induce in
experienced persons to speculate in arti-
Giles not in their line of business will be
fined and imprisoned. The law will. it is
believed, benefit lambs" but it is ques-
toned whether it will, as expected, benefit
farmers. The produce exchanges are bad
ly hit. Their utility in steadying prir..
will be lost. Some say the law will d.,i.,
German capital abroad and destroy Ger
many's influence in the international mar
ket. So far the law has not operated to
advance the price of grain. Its future re-
suits are awaited with much curiosity.

There is much talk. says the Balti-
more Sun, among politicians and some
who are not politicians about the pros
poets of next years election in the
State of Maryland. And there have
been 4 good many words without
knowledge which darken counsel. The
next election will be an important one
1t will be for a com ,Dtroller of the treas
ury, House of Delegates, fourteen Sen
ators, nine judges, shertfs and various
other county officers. The Legisla-
ture will elect federal Senator, 20
lice commissioner and Il treasurer. In
the city of Baltimore Mayor. an en-
tire CITY Council and other local Off
GERS are to be chosen. If the demo-
Gratis carry the Legislature and elect
the comptroller they will regain control
of the board of public works and the
patronage depending upon it.
At the present time no one can claim
the next election, and the way it will
go depends upon what may happen
between now and then. There is moth
ING in the result OF the recent election
to determine the next election, for it is
We'll known that party lines were brok-
en-. Thousands OF men voted for Nc
