The prospects in this coal investigation
are uncertain Officers of the companies
are said not to attach much Importance To
the proceeding. They say there is no coal
combination within the meaning of the
statute, ard that investigation viii con-
firm this statement The companies are
said TO have no machinery of any kind for
operating a trust. Nevertheless Wall street
Is in considerable doubt as TO the complica-
tious and annoyances which may grow
out OF the investigation, aud it is quite
probable that buyerso OF coalmay temporar-
lily withhold their orders in the hope that
the movement may effect some disturb
ance in the practical relations OF the min

The total shipments OF gold for the week
amount To about $3,000,oo0. It's probable
that they viii continue, as imports are
still large the returns at New York for
the week footing up $f2,000000, as
against $9,000,0o0 last year. At the same
time the returns for April show an excess
in value exported of $23, 500 900, or an
increase over April OF last year of $780,,
100000, while for ten months the bal

The World of Business.

The problem for the specula tors to solve
With regard to the prospects next
week, is more than usually difficult
one. The factors are almost impossible
of calculation, 1t will be rank gamble
TO pat money in the market tomorrow
morning, say, with anything except
very good sized margin. 1t is quite prob
able that the idea which prevailed on
Friday and Thursday, that the President
was Immediately TO show a strong friendli-
ness for Cuba, is wrong one. This is
good news for Wall street. At the same
time, there is uncertainty as TO what Mr..
Mckinley will recommend in his message,
if he sends one, or what course the Senate
Will take. There is also in the situation
the riddle OF what the coal trouble win
amount to, there is the fact that gold
shipments continue, and there is the un-
certainty about the tariff. On the other
hand, the bulls are suggesting that the pros
pect for the grain carrying reads are
fine, and that our trade returns for April
are very encouraging. The effect OF all
these complicated and conflicting factors, is
naturally to stifle activity in the stock
market The balance seems to be on the
side of the bears. 1t is probable that
speculation will have downward ten
dency. Uncertainty is always bear news.

John Alias Thomas Stanton,
Clerk in Prices Store,
on Trial.
Witnesses Testify Positively to
the Purchase Of an In
decent Publication.
The Defense Will Attempt to Prove
That 1t Is Case of Conspiracy
and Blackmail.

John alias Thomas Stanton, clerksih
the bookstore of Warren E. Price, 1903
Market street, appeared before Judge Low
yesterday to answer q charge of selling
obscene literature.
Stanton was arrested several days ago
by Policeman Coleman, who is attached
preston OF Vice, and Secretary Kane was
in court yesterday watching the case The
defendant was represented by Attorney
Eugene Deuprey.
The witnesses for the prosecution were 6.
T. Bostian, Richard G. Chisholm and
Ellis EGwarcs, all employees of A. E.
Lucas, who has private detective agency.
Bostian testified that on May 29 he went
TO Prices store, accom- panied by Chisholm
and Edwards. He purchased from Stan
ten an indecent book for which he paid So.
He asked first for another vile book, but
as Stanton wanted $15 for it he did not
purchase it.
Chisholm and Edwards both testified
that they were present when Bostian pur-
chased the book and saw him pay Stanton
the So for it.
In cross examining the Witnesses Attor-
ney Deuprey got them to admit that the
purchase was made on May 20, and yet it
was IlOt lAiA Julg IL III al CldulOu tS
rested. They admitted that they were
detailed by Lucas TO purchase the book.
Deuprey also mpted 10 prove that
Lucas had attempted to blackmail Mrs.
Thomas, Prices mother, and Stanton
after the purchase of the book, and failing
caused Stanton's arrest. but Lucas, who
was put on the witness-stand for the de-
fense, emphatically denied the charge.
He admitted instructing Bastian and the
other TWO to purchase the book, and in
answer to a question said he was men,
Der Of the American Pro- ective Associa-
ton.
The case was continued till this after
noon, when Attorney Deuprey will put in
his defense. The defense will snow that
Mrs. Thomas. who carried on a penny
purchasing club, was accused by a mum Der
of girl subscribers of having swinded
them and that they, in a spirit of revenge,
employed Lucas to cause her arrest TO.
selling indecent books. 1t was the origi-
nal intention to arrest Mrs. Thomas, but
as she did not make the sale, Stanton,
who acted in her place, was arrested and
prosecuted instead.
The defense will also attempt to prove
that Lucas, before securing Stanton's
arrest, attemp ed TO blackmail him out of
large sum of money.
Warren E. Price, the owner of the store,
is serv ng sentence of two years in San
Quentin for violating the United States
mail regulations by distributing obscene
books through the mails.
