Eighty True Bills Against Atlanta
Cigarette Dealers.


Atlanta, Sept. S.-The grand jury to-day
returned eighty true bills against local
cigar dealers for selling cigarettes to min.
ors. Some of the dealers are indicted more
than once. Judge Gambler in dealing with
Vioiators of the cigarette law over year
ago merely imposed nominal fine, but
indicated what he would do upon a second
offense, and it is quite Likely that the Judge
will impose severe penalties in these cases.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, May 5.-The stock mar
ket was of a highly professional or
der today, and although support APP
peared from time to time in particli-
lar stocks, the tone was weak prac-
ticaily throughout. The Changers
Coalers and a number of the Special
ties, particularly Brooklyn Rapid
Transit, Peoples Gas, American Sugar
American Steel and Wire, and Cont
mental Tobacco and Anaconda Were
especially weak.
The feverishness of prices accom-
panied by bear pressure, induced con-
siderable liquidation. London was a
purchaser of moderate amounts, but
not enough to sustain the internatior-
al stocks. While the bank statement
can never be forecasted with any ac-
curacy, it is known that the banks on
out-of-town express movement and
sub-treasury operations sustained Il
loss in cash of about 100000. This,
together with the understanding that
tomorrow's statement would not re-
fleet the S5,000,00O debit on account of
the Spanish indemnity payment, led
traders to assume that the showing
will not be altogether favorable, he
cause of the financing of Industrals
and the subscriptions to the Amalga-
rated Copper Company.
The understanding, however. that
the Sub-Treasury will cash $10,000,00
indemnity warrants next week was
regarded as likely ia make a large adj
dition to the loanable funds which
will be reflected in subsequent bank
statements.
Domestic news was scant, but the
possibility of British complications
over Transvaal affairs receive some no.
tice. There was some liquidation Ct
marginal holdings by spectators
discouraged at the seeming lack of in
side support in certain properties. and
the confident operations of the bears.
Inc market closed weak at about the
lowest.
4 fairly good tone was maintained
throughout the day in bonds, which
moved independently of the stock
trading, although a few prominent
issues were under pressure. Total
sales. $3.50 900.
