The World of Business.
Wall street Yesterday.

New York May 1S.-The stock market
was dull and presented the saTue general
characteristics it has had for several days.
The foreign influence was moderately favor
able, London houses taking small amounts
of stocks and further advances Were re-
ported in all the divisions of that market
French conscls in a sharp rise reflected
the cessation of hostilities in Greece.
With the absence of any real genuine
liquidation, the most conspicuous feature
OF the trading, and with the uncertain pros
poets OF any gold shipments this week,
the room traders We're disposed to play
the long side of the market, the more so
as they thought they detected evidences
of the covering Of heavy speculative short
accounts During the greater raft OF the
day the debate on the Cuban resolutions N
the Senate acted as deterrent to acti 'ity,
but the general market wasn asnotappreciably
affected thereby.
In the afternoon the anthracite stocks
aud General Electric showed decided weak
ness, which was simultaneous with equally
decided strength in the granger shares,
Sugar and Chicago Gas, which were the
active features OF the market The excel
lent showing OF earnings made by ST. Paul
was q "a ctor in the strength or the granger
stocks There was no explanation "f tie
weakness OF General Electric, nor OF the
strength OF Sugar and Chicago Gas, be-
yond that furnished by the technical con-
diti0ns of the trading.
The market steadily improved after
clock with the Changers, Tobacco. Louis
vile and Nashville, Manhattan. Leather
preferred, Lead, the Coalers, Chicago Gas,
Union Pacific, Southern preferred ard
Western Union leading. and the last named
stock grew quite strong toward 2:3o,
stimulating buying all around. The move
inent then became dull, but the tone con-
tinued firm thereafter. The market closed
strong, at or about the best figures of the
day.

LECTuRING THE POLICE.
Judge Mills Says They, Too, Are
AmenabIe to the Law.

Frank Tubbins, who keeps an oyster 's-
tabishmeut at No. 1918 Pennsylvania
avenue, was charged in police court yes
terday with disorderly conduct and as
saulting an officer. Policeman Paul ker-
stcn preferred the charge. Tuhbins denied
that he had assaulted the policeman and
several witnesses substantiated his State
ment. In dsposlng OF the case Judge
Mills said that the original arrest was
made on a meager charge.
"The police,'' he added, although in
vested with the power to enforce the law
are themselves TO be obedient to the law.
They have no more right To transgresS IL
than the ordinary citizen. An officer may
use discretion as To whether he will take
a party into Immediate custody or secure
@ warrant and arrest him later. l think
there is sufficient in the original charge or
disorderly to justify the officer iD making
the arrest. The case is made out and
Tubbins is fined $5.
LAS to the assault case I hold that
mere resistance by Ii prisoner does not
constitute an assault. f the prisoners
clothes were torn in. holding back and re-
fnsing To go to the patrol box it is his
own fault The blow Tubbins received on
