GENERAL MARKET REPORT
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star

Special Dispatch TO The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, November t5.-The course
of prices in todays stock market reflected
the combined influences of new buying AMI
gradual realizing of profits The early
London cables reported nominal fractional
oranges and further selling of speculative
long stock.
Later Paris advices and the more pacific
European political outlook resulted in a
moderately strong closing on the London
curb. The market reflects the customary
approach TO an equilibrium which follows a
considerable advance. but the failure to
add to the previous high level is in no wise
an adverse comment on the main situation
In some quarters the movement in the
currency and foreign exchange markets,
coupled with London's selling and the
eXigencies of the closing months of the
year, are factors prompting a certain de-
gree of speculative ceution.
The buying of the general market is of
such character that there can be no
longer any dcubt of the substantial features
OF the demand. During the realizing periods
OF the last few days several hundred thou
sand Shares have changed hands, either a;
ret advances for the day or at immaterial
net declines.
The movement in prices is not Just at
this time entirely uniform. but there are
v
uniform degree of Improvement.
The special features in today's markets
were Atchiscn Preferred and the industrial
issues. In the first-named the buying was
most confident in character, and individual
transactions exceeding two thousand
shares were reported with more than usual
frequency.
The prospect of a moderate dividend and
material reduction in necessary expendi-
lures are the motives behind this demand
The official trading in the Fedora Stee!
issues for the first time in the regular way
was followed by a moderate reaction in
price.
This result is not g novelty, but in this
particular instance there was pretty gen
eral belief thai the price would be advanc-
ed in order to attract outside attention
TO this giant corpoi alton.
The granger SHARES were active, and dur
Rock Island around lbs and Burlington at
market, but as on previous days all
offerings were taken at a fractional de-
cline.
Sugar and Tobacco were strong and weak
by turns, the manipuiative interest COM
ing to the front with the necessary sup
port whenever needed.
An advance in Metropolitan Traction was
credited to strong financial interests VINO
rely upon material increase in the COM
panys reserves from the improvements
now under way. During the late trading
some further tendency toward realizing
was in progress, but the market was fully
equal to this test of latent strength.

Warrants Issued for Manager. of
Local Business Houses

Proceedings were instituted in the Police
Court this afternoon against John RanZeli,
representing the Merchandise Investment
Company, charging him with conducting a
gift enterprise. The information against
him was filed by Prosecuting Attorney Pugh
On the oath of Detective Frank Baur. The

IN building. at No. GO f street northwest,

In this case it is alleged that premium
stamps are given to purchasers Dctec-
tive Baur went to the store this afternoon
and purchased six collars. The young man
in the store gave him a book and five
stamps. The stamps, il is said. are similar
to those IseG here a year ago by the Ma
ticnal Trading Stamp Company. when two
merchants ere convicted of violating the
Jaw for using them.
Five stamps were given to the officer
from which the name National Trading

MILITARY TRIALS.
Annual Report of the Judge Advocate
General of the Army.

The report of9Gen. G. N. Lieber, judge
aGvocate general, for the year ending
August 81 shows that there has been a
total of s1 $50 Isourt-martials during tn,
year. OF these, three were officers of the
regular army afd twelve officers of volun-
teers. OF the enlisted men ther. were con-
victed. 1r14s regulars; acquitted, 81; con-
Vlcted, volunteers, 1877; acquitted, 126. Gen.
Lieber refommaTds an increase in his de-
raTtmerst to- depble its present force, in
order to ipaet the necessities of the larger
army WHICH has bean called into service.
Durirs the period covered by the report
army discharged purcIant TO sentence of
seheraI .eDurt-inartial, l23 of these dis
efarses being for minor offenses on proof
OF nFe or more previous convictions.
Inc NUMBER OF men of the volunteer army
oischarSeu pursuant to sentence of general
ccur t-martial UP to August 81, 1898, is SO.
Inc total assertions were 116 regulars
ana eighteen volunteers
Ihe number of desertfons for 1898 is less
than during any year since 1894, when
they numbered SIS
AT the last session of Congress an act
was passed amending the act establishing
the summary court, making it applicable
IN Tune OF war well as in time of peace,
and abolishing the field officers court. The
summary court Is now the regular perma-
nent inferior court-martial, both in tir,le OF
ledce anu OF war. 1t Is belieVeu tnat the
present act will meet every possible require
ment. '1
There has also been issued a new execu-
tive order fixing the limits of punishment,
IN which certain important amendments of
the order previously in force have been
made.
These two measures says Gen. Lieber,
have bean adopted in order to remove de-
fects IN the system of administration of
military justice which the experience of
the army had pointed out. The system is
now on good footing, with one exception.
This exception is the lack of power on the
part of courts martial to compel civilian
witnesses to testify. There have hereto
fore been failures of justice on this ac-
count, and during the present year gen
eral court-martial sitting for the trial of
an important case has been shut off from
material evidence by the refusal of civilian
witnesses to answer legal questions. It Is
to be hoped that Congress will afford some
relief-if not by giving general courts-mar-
tial the power to punish for contempt, at
least in such other form may be deemed
best. 1 shall at the proper time invite at
tention to this matter separately.
