BEER IN cANTEENs LAWFUL.
An Opinion Handed Down by At
torney General Griggs

Attorney General Griggs, in an opinion
handed down yesterday, says that the re-
cent act of Congress prohibiting the sale
of distilled liquors in army canteens does
not apply to the sale of beer In quoting
the law he makes excerpts, one Of which
says that no officer or private soldier shall
be detailed TO sell intoxicating drinks as a
barkeeoer or otherwise in any post ex-
change or canteen.
The Attorney General says II Congress
intended 10 entirely prohibit the sale of
intoxicating drinks at canteens ii would
have said SO IN a sentence But officers
and private soldiers are forbidden to sell
intoxicating drinks and this designation.
he believes, raises the inference that other
classes OF individuals not mentioned are
not forbidden. A declaration that soldiers
shall not be detailed 10 sell intoxicating
drinks he rules, implies that the sale is
not unlawful when conducted by others
than soldiers.
Concluding, the Attorney General says:
The result Of these reflections is. then
that this section does not prohibit the con-
tinUance Of the sale of intoxicating drinks
through the canteen section of the post
exchanges, as heretofore organized and
carried on, except that. of course, no Off
Ger or soldier can be put on duty in the
canteen section to do the selling. either
directly or indirectly. This latter the law
clearly prohibits"

A r. Sperry said that he had been in
formed that the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road also contemplated making extensive
improvements in its terminal facilities in
Washington. The company has succeeded
in purchasing an entire square bounded
by Street. Delaware Avenue D and First
Streets northeast, on which 1t is proposed
TO erect new depot. The tracks of the
road Will also be elevated so as to do away
with all dangerous grade crossings.
y resolution. introduced by o. b. Hal
lam, urging the people of Washington to
keep constantly before Congress the neces-
sity of a Supreme Court building, was
unanimously adopted.
NJ. 1. Weller stated that work would be
commenced within the next few weeks
on converting the square of ground bound
ed by X, L. Fifth, and Sixth Streets south
east into a park. This work will be paid
for out of an appropriation made by the
last Congress. a public play ground not
only for children but for grown persons
as well will be opened in several weeks

New York. April 4.-The speculation in
cotton continued dull and featureless today
There was no change in the general situ-
alton or in the conditions Immediately sur
rounding the market and the fluctuations
were confined within narrow ranges and
were devoid of any special significance.
Gables from abroad were about as expect
ed. business being resumed at Liverpool
with futures down 2-64d, which about met
our decline during the holidays there. The
weather in the cotton belt was generally
favorable. 1t was cloudy as rule, but the
rainfall was light except along the coast.
Complaints of dry weather in Texas con-
tinued, but it has done no damage as yet,
as far as the cotton crop Is concerned
though some rain would be beneficial where
early planted in the southwestern por-
tions of the State. The dry weather has
facilitated marketing the balance of the
crop. The principal injury from the
drought thus far has been to the stock. As
yet there is no trustworthy information as
TO the acreage.
Prices opened unchanged to one point
higher, which proved about the highest.
Selling by traders on the dullness of the
speculation and absence of support caused
a decline OF two points from this range but
this pressure soon subsided and the market
then relapsed into dullness.
The closing Liverpool cables reported
spot cotton quiet and steady and without
quotable change from Thursdays prices.
Total sales were 5000 hales.
The market weakened in the afternoon
on fresh local selling partly by traders
and partly liquidation by tired holders.

Brooklyn Rapid Transit Keeps on IN
Its Downward Course-The Fight
in the Sugar Trade.

| New York. April Extremely irregular
movements were noted in today's stock
market, and for the most part the trading
| disclosed very unsettled tone. Rapid and
! pronounced declines in number of in
stances were succeeded By sharp rallies,
which in turn gave way to fresh declines.
In general way II appeared that the mar
ket experienced great deal of difficulty in
digesting the mass of stocks liquidated yes
terday- In this process it is plain that
thousands of shares passed into the hands
of commission houses and out of the strong
I boxes of the operators in charge of the
manipulation. particularly of the indus.ria
| and specially shares. What the public as
represented by the commission houses will
do with their holdings remains TO be SEEN
Bullish manipulation was not wholly
Withdrawn in today's market but general
support was lacking. Hence the very de-
cided irresularity OF the market. already
noted. Sugar Refining furnished the clear
est evidence of a breakdown in the in
hated and ill-founded speculation for
rise. 1t is more singular that the move
ment in this stock should have been un-
dertaken at this time. inasmuch as Sugar
Rehning is wholly lacking in the
elements of novelty ana mystery
that can be applied to the newer
lndustrials. Everybody knows that
the Sugar Company has been a big
money-maker, and by this time everybody
SHOULD know that none OF the refining com
panles is now making a profit in its busi-
ness. On this last account the engineers
OF the movement were forced to resort to
lying in order to furnish even a superficial
basis for their work. Hence the now
thoroughly exploded Standard Oil myth
and the other myths exploited before
credulous speculating public. Present
holders of Sugar stock may as well learn
to face the facts in the case as they have
been set forth in this paper. There is no
dear on, but there is a fight to the
nnish in the sugar trade, which must end
IN the financial exhaustion of one or the
other parties to the fight.
Ihe reopening of the London market
after the Easter holidays brought
higher range of prices for American stocks
and moderate dealings In this market for
foreign account. Slightly higher prices at
the opening gave way TO the noted irregu
larity- There were sharp initial advances
in Manhattan Railway and Third Avenue
and rapid decline in Metropolitan Street
Railway. These movements were referred
TO the agreement reached yesterday be-
tween the first two companies In the
later dealings the movements in question
were wholly reversed. The dealings in the
granger shares and other quarters of the
railway market were comparatively small.
Brooklyn Rapid Transit continued to de-
cline, today's break being referred to
rumored litigation in regard TO the Ieas-
ing of the Nassau lines. The general
market closed active and heavy.

The strong stocks Of Monday were again
features of yesterday. Missouri Pacific, Pa
cific Mail, and Tennessee Coal and Iron
none Of them made any net advance for the
day, but they were all strong and all made
new high figures during the day The street
has been expecting the advance in Mssou-
ri Pacific and Pacific Mail for several days
and now believes that with a market in
the least favorable they will both 20
much higher. The Missouri Pacific is earn
ing something like per cent on the stock.
For long time the bears have attacked
this stock as soon as It showed any signs
OF strength and it has been held down be-
low its legitimate level for this reason.
Not very many years ago the road was pay
ing per cent ON the stock and was one of
the most successful in the West. There is
every reason TO believe that it will occupy
position much like this at no very distant
date in the future.

More than thousand Shares of Capital
Traction changed hands and the price was

unexpected activity in the stock and the
apparently unlimited buying orders gave

The only good feature of yesterdays
stock market was the fact that prices did
not decline any further than they did.
From the opening almost all day there
was realizing in the entire list, but espe-
cially in those stocks that have been ad-
vanced most rapidly during the past two
weeks. The leaders appeared TO have left
the market TO itself for the time being,
and without their help and against the SELL
ing for profits, and by the bears, the gen.
eral public buying could make no impress
sion. Manhattan, Brooklyn Rapid Transit,
Federal Steel common. and Sugar all had
declines OF two to eight points. and the
general list went off from half to
point. The first two days of the week have
therefore been bear days in the specialties,
and large part of the general list. AS
stated above, however the decline is con-
sidered not to have been a serious one.
After such advances have been made in the
spceiaties, from five TO twenty points, ii
is surprising to many that the efforts OF
the bears could accomplish so little The
fact seems 10 be that the public buying is
larger than was expected. This same fac
tor of public buying VIII, in the opinion
of many careful market critics, prevent
any bad break in the market. Opinions
differ as 10 the probable course of the mar
ket today. but it is probable that there will
be a somewhat lower opening and more
selling. In the afternoon many look for a
rally. Such a rally would come if Mr..
Flower and his friends should begin to
support the market, and probably would
fail to materialize If the leaders should
continue TO keep away. Nothing of this,
however, should be understood to mean
that the bull movement is over. For a few
days there may be a traders market. with
chances to buy on recessions and sell on
buIges, but the upward trend of prices is
certain TO come in a short time.
The coalers were perhaps the strongest
features OF the day, although toward the
