Stocks Have Discounted the Worst

The good effects Of q poor showing by
Bryan night before last are still notice.
able in Wall street and stocks are up
with yesterdays advance, which means
material gains over the ridiculously low
quotations on gilt edge securities during
the past fortnight.
The most hopeful go SO far as TO say
that stocks have already discounted the
worst conditions OF the campaign.
The next place that the scare will
strike is the mercantile section, and
regular business must tut,e ITS turn in
suffering from the threats OF the silver
ties. The banks are doubtiu all over the
country and the Temporary inability of
merchants to secure loans will have the
usual result.

The initial prices were mainly below
yesterdays final sales with concessions
Influenced BY lower London quotations.
The. losses were unimportant aside from
Sugar and Western Union, which figured
for 3. per cent. each. A renewal of pur-
chasing orders for short account started
a recovery and carried Sugar up 1-2 to
102 Ii, and Man haitian made an equal
gain TO rs IL. Important fractional
improvements occurred in other stocks.
After the first hour the higher range
of value encouraged profit taking by the
trading element which was reflected in
important fractional concessions through

The city was successful yesterday In a
street-grade assessment as TO one law
point which has been raised In many
eases. The test was made In the case of
Cfy vs.. O'Conneil. and came up on q de-
murrer to defendants amended answer.
1t was alleged az one OF the grounds OF
amrmative defense that the city clerk was
required to publish notice when the as
sessnient was levied. and that II not paid
by certain time. forty days from the
nrst publication Of the notice, Il would
become delinquent. The clerk. II seems,
so worded his notice that the assessment
was declared due and payable" on the
nrst day OF publication. Mr.. Dore for the
defense. set out the notice In his answer
and upon that based the plea that the
action, not having been brought within
two years from the first day, was barred.
Pratt 4 Riddle demurred to this, arguing
that the phraseoloxy Of the notice could
not be held to prevail against the terms
OF the statute. and that the two years did
not begin to run until the expiration Of
tho last day: and further. that the statu-
tory limit. II II ever existed, had been re-
moved by repeal OF the provision before
II has been pleaded. and AZ It Affected the
remedy. only the law IN force at the time
or pleading was the governing law.
Judge Langley sustained the demurrer.
but defendant elected to stand on his
pleading and the case win no doubt 20 to
tho supreme court.
