PRINCE & WHITELEY'S REVIEW.
Of Yesterdays Stock Market-Notable
 Features

London quotations yesterday morn
 ing were generally higher, due probably
 to brighter outlook of affairs in South Africa and a we'll interpreted meaning of the presidents message. Our market opened at trifiing advancess but those adversely inclined towards present val
 ues followed up the vantage they gained during the last week or two in checking the otherwise inducements for the public to become interested, by the publication and promulgation of what the supreme court might do in the "Ad- diston" case as bearing on all consolida- tions of industrial corporations while it has really no bearing on the securi- ties of the legally constituted proper ties, and through their attacks caused further recessions in the industrials, while the standard properties were very slight, The coalers were lower possibly because prices seem high, still if the production for this year as compared is taken into consideration there seems little cause for the decline Railroad properties were not affected very much, in fact the large increases in earnings should make holders confident that nothing very alarming can cause them to dispose of their holdings Money again was firm and according to col lateral loaned from z to per cent. on call. Foreign exchange firm owing to light commercial offerings; actual rates 4.81 1-2 and 4.S6 1-2. Atchison declared dividend of 1 1-2 per cent. on the preferred stock out of the surplus earn ings to June 30, 1899; in other words it is an increase of IA per cent. over the last dividend declared. Textile markets continue firm with advances scored in most makes. Commercial markets for our raw produce firm on demand from foreigners, exchange engagements now making must before long become plen- tiful. We know that Europe has not bought her quota of cotton and we have it on the best authority that her needs of wheat are also large.
 Wheat continues with an improved sentiment as yet slow but we can de- tect signs that at present figures it has more friends speculatively as well as for export. Cotton was unfavorably af- fected by Liverpool reports, where they try to affect our markets by lowering quotations, when here they pay IA d. more. Crop movements small; south ern markets steady and higher than our contracts here. The stock market during the closing hour showed quite a revulsion in sentiment. It seems to be the general belief that the market and the industrials in particular are largely oversold. Total sales, 646,S20.

EXPENSES OF DREYFUs DEFENCE

EXPENSES OF DREY FUS DEFENCE, | One feature of the Dreyfus case has not been fully touched upon-the exceeding
 ly large sum of money which the Drey- fus family has been forced to spend. Thetrial of 1894 cost very fair sum, limiter chiefly, however, to lawyers fees The large outlay was caused by
 the efforts of the family to discover
 the real culprit after the departure of the unfortunate prisoner from Devils
 Island M. Mathieu Dreyfus employed
 two sets of detectives. The French de-
 tectives were watched by set of Eng
 fish detectives, and the family of course, footed the bills in both instances, This work went on for two or three years. until the discovery of the petit bleu designating Esternazy as the cul- brit, Then came the expenses leading to the revision of the case the lawyers and the memoirs and other documents which had to be published But the deserved compensation given M. Morn- ard. M. Demange and M. Labori was not the only outlay which the Dreyfus family had to support at Rennes As they lost their suit, they had to pay all the witnesses, a round sum of nearly S100O0 Thus Dreyfus was placed in the curious position of paying the car-fare and the board bills of his deadliest ene- mics. It is estimated that up to the present more than s200, 1000 has been em- ployed in this brave fight.-Paris letter in The Chicago Record.
