Internal Reveuue Collector, A.
B. White, today received notice
from the Treasury Department Of
a ruling which will be far roach
ing in its effects
For several years, especially
since the oil business has grown
to such magnitude along the river,
the skanty boat saloons have bee II
very numerous aud at times pros
porous.
A license was issued 10 them to
sell liquor when the boat was
moored al a certain place named
on the stamp, which vas issued
them. They would frequently
move to another point bat seldom
took the pans 10 have their li-
cense transferred.
Owing 10 the trouble which ha.
grown out Of this custom ruling
has now been made that no license
shall be issued 10 any proprietor
Of saloon on a bouseboat except
ing where the boat is pulled out or
the bank and is permanent fix
ture, the same as any house. -
the sbaniy boat saloons were as a
rule speakessies this will tend 20
break up the business a. they
heretofore could pull out into the
river when the State officers would
get after them aud thereby escape
the officers, bot they will not be
able to pursue a like course With
the government officials Who can
get them a. easily at one place n.
another
There are hundreds Of thes.
floating saloons along tho Obi,
and Kauawha rivers At present

Of dives, combining all ihe nsfar

New York, Sept @.-Hubbard Bros. &
co. says of cotton to-day: Long liquida-
ton here by interests supposed TO be iden-
titled with the bull side for the past year
supplied the demand from the shorts who
expect Liverpool to pause under spinners'
buying at 8 pence We believe the local
short interest 40 be the smallest for many
Years as all regard il dangerous to an
ucipate a further decline. AS yet there
is no speculative inquiry on the part of
outside interests who are apt to buy cot
ton on speculation, but we notice an in
creasing inquiry among people who are
prepared to buy the market down. No buy
ing has as yet resulted from these Inf
quiries, but they show that here as well
as in Europe, there win be a demand from
some prices near the low prices of 1894.
Our cables state that Manchester has an
excellent demand that spinners are short
of both yarns and cotton. A similar con-
diton exists on the continent and spin
ners are everywhere waiting to buy their
cotton on a lower basis
