LOCAL MARKET REVIEW.
Yesterdays Receipts Of Poultry OF All
Kinds We're Unusually Large.
ADVANCE ON SISAL AND MANILA ROPE
Price of Green Cofrec Is Higher-pc-
cline OF One Cent in Crude
Cotton Seed OIL.
Office of The Post

Houston SATURDAY, NoNenlDer H.
Today's poultry receipts were unusually
large, and while some dealers disposed OF
all their stock others were left with quite a
surplus on hand. Prices were shade lower,
but the decline was not such as to warrant
any changes in current quotations.
The advance on soap. mention of which has
been previously made in The Post, IS af-
fecting all the markets of the country. In
New York lower grades have been advanced
from 5Gll0c per box. The increased cost OF
soap stock. notably tallow, is the cause OF
the advance.
New Orleans advices are to the effect that
the molasses market is strong WITH only
moderate socks IN first banos. Lots offered
iof shipment are steadily advancing In price.
Low grades are practically cleaned up at
New Orleans, holders having only small
supplies, for which they ask 6laIblac Ac-
coIdinS to quality
Louisville dispatch to the Now York
Commercial says: AS t is evident that tobac-
co will bring high pr.ce this year, there
viii be much moro competition than usual fol
1t. Country dealers are already buying all
the crop they can get.
There are plenty of good apples on the To-
cal market at present, some of the stock
lately received being finer than any that
has been shipped IN this season. This is es-
pecially gratifying in view of the fact that
large amount OF fruit of an inferior grade
has Leen unloaded on other markets. Prices
remain the same.
Wood alcohol has advanced 10c on the New
York market and is now quoted there at
soc for 80 per cent and Soc for 81 per cent.
An advance of lk94 on green coffee was an
nounced today. The market is very strong
at the CHER prices.

Illinois has n law forbidding the use
OF the United States flag for advertising
purposes. Every state ought to have
such q law; but it should be drawn
with such care that the wretched crea-
lures whose business ranks with them
above their respect for the flag cannol
evade iis prohibitions. The nlinoi.
statute has been held invalid a Cool
county judge declaring Do unconstilu.
uonaI The opponents OF the promls-
cnous use OF the American ilag Tor ad-
vortising purposes have met with re-
pulse in Illinois in the decision that the
flag law OF that state IS unconsdtution.
al The Illinois flag law. as it is called
prescribes a fine for It's violation. and
one-half the cash penalty collected
shall be paid, after conviction, to the
individual furnishing the information
upon which the conviction was based
It Is this feature of the law which
makes the law invalid on account Of &c.
unconstitutlonality. The prisoner,
Chicago man. was charged with hayin,
advertised his business by pictures OF
the American flag. and the case Is only
one OF three pending wherein the con
stitutionality of the statute has beer
assailed-two on this ground and an.
other ON the question of state jurisdic
tion over matter relating exclusivel.
TO The national flag The particular
feature of the law to which the cour
objects is repugnant to American no
tions, and, no doubt, the sanctity of th
Stars and Stripes as the symbol OF th
nation can be preserved by a NOR
seemly method than the one adopted d

Yesterday was the lightest in the his
