RELEASE OF A SEALER.
Peculiar Case of the Steamer Co
Quitlan,

San Francisco Nov. 17.--By an opinion
handed down by the United States circuit
court of appeals yesterday, the British
steamer Coquitlan, with $50 sealskins,
which was seized by the revenue steamer
Curwin, in June, 1892, and ordered for
feited to the government by the district
court OF Alaska, was released.
The decision of the Alaska court was re-
versed ON every point, and the libel ordered
dismissed.
The case was a peculiar one. The steam
er Couuitlan, owned by the Union Steam
ship Company, limited, Of Vancouver, b. c.,
met the vessels of the Pacific sealrrs as
sociation at rendezvous previously agreed
upon at Port Etehes, Alaska, and took off
all the skins they had taken during the
season, up to that date.
The sealing schooners We're all Victoria
vessels The transfer of skins was made
at sea, over colleagues from land The
Coauitlan, nevertheless, was seized, with
her cargo, by the revenue cutter Corwin,
on the ground that she was defrauding the
United States government of revenues.
The allegations in the libel were that
the Coquitlan, although she touched at
ficials that thel sealing schooners were
bound for American ports whenintercepted,
and that their cargoes were taken off in
American waters, contary to law.
The Alaska court, on hearing the evil
dence, decreed the forfeiture of the steam
er and cargo, but the upper court finds that
the lower court was much in error in its
conclusions from the facts presented.

New York. Nov. 17.-Speculation at the

was monopolized by the professionals, and
even this element was disinclined to branch
out to any extent At the start the
tendency OF prices was downward, but
soon after the opening the market improved
under the leadership Of the Industrials.
Cotton Oil advanced l to 16; Sugar 3-4;

La Clede Gas L, to 20 Ia, and American
Spirits preferred 3-4, to 80 1-2.
Pacific Mail was again in demard ON the
belief that the directors will declare Il
dividend Of per cent, and the stock moved
up 5-s per cent to 81 7S. The trunk lines,
anthracite and bitumincus coalers were
quiet and about steady in tone. There was
little news afloat to affect tie market,
and the traders were waiting for further
developments in the Cuban matter before
making new ventures- Speculation at IL
o'clock was duh and steady.
A better tone prevailed at the stock
exchange after IL O'Clock, and there was
an increased demand for securities. The
