Federal Judge Asked 20 Revise Decision
in Conformity with n state Decision.

CHARLESTON, S. C., Dec "a "A suit involving
the entire assessment Of railroad property in North
Carolina came before Judge Simonton in tho
United States Circuit Court here today on re
hearing. There is difference Of opinion between
Judge Simonton and the Supreme Court OF North
Carolina OF exactly $40, 900, and fight is be-
ing waged between the railroads and the Corpora
ton Commission Of the State. The commission
liked the value Of the railroad property at S42OOo
600. and Judge Simonton by his former decision
cut II down 10 $50, 100000 The rehearng was
sought by the commission on the ground that
the recent decision Of the State Supreme Court in
the case Of Abbott against Neddingheld holds
that tho commission has the power to fix the
tax value Of railroad property Shortly before
TINS Judge Simonton gave mn opinion. taking cA
nctly an opposite stand IL liz declared that
Federal Judge is bound by n States construction
OF its own laws
Several arguments were made to-day. The
attorneys for tho commission held that in view
OF the Abbott decision Judge Simonton cannot
now do otherwise than reverse his former opinion
on the question OF taxing power. which would
mean that the amounts fixed by tho commission
would have TO stand. In tho arguments by the
railroad attorneys the point was made that tho
dclivcrancc Of tho State Supreme Court on the
question Of taxation was collateral matter purely
and not directly before the Court. and for this
reason Federal Judge Is not bound by IT,
Nine railroads in North Carolina are named
as the plaintiffs

Spirits Manufacturing Company Sue.
Argument was had before Supreme Court
Justice Gaynor in Brooklyn yesterday on the
application Of Bert Rciss. as stakeholder OF
the American Spirits Manufacturing Company.
for writ OF mandamus to compel the officers
to allow an inspection Of the books and papers.
Counsel said that Mr.. Rciss purchased stock In
tho company two years ago. At that tlme II
was worth $50 q share. but /. had steadily de-
clined until now IL was listed at. 81.
In two years no report OF the busi,,
the stockholders had not held meeting. The
company, he said. was organized with a capi-
tai stock OF S35.OOOOOO and owned seventeen
distilleries In the United States. Subsequently
the American Spirits Distributing Company
was formed. and it entered into contract to
purchase the product OF the American Spirits
Manufacturing Company. but tn. terms OF the
contract were kept secret. The minority
stockholders had selected Mr.. Reiss to enforce
their rights. Mr.. Rciss then made formal de-
mand to see the books OF the company. but his
request was not granted.
-. Counsel for the defendant corporation said
that II Mr. Retss was a stakeholder the papers
did not show IL. and the law required a person
making such an application to be a stakeholder

Decision was reserved.

WEpyrsDAY. Dec. 81.

"WEDNESDAY. Dec n.
A prophecy made on the floor OF the Stock
Exchange last week that within a fortnight
stocks would be scarcer than money was very
nearly fulfilled to-day Money on call was easy
Mt per cent and less and accomm cd ions
until next Tuesday at per cent were
freely offered BY ono OF the most
conservative individual lenders Time money
was also In better supply. Stocks on tho
other hand were comparatively scarce and a
moderate demand for them resulted In net nd-
yances OF = to - per cent in the active list.
The Improvement began with the rather heavy
purchases by foreign arbitrage houses In ro-
sponse TO higher market for Ameri-
can securitos In London. Tho specula-
tive situation there was stronger because OF
the arrangements com pcted last Friday night
by which the three larger houses dealing In
American securities. IN conjunction with their
correspondents here. took over a large amount
Of American railway securities held by weak
ened firms chiefly for Continental account. In
consequence the fortniRhtly settlement was
virtually concluded to-day without incident.
AZ was the cdss hero. the supply OF money was
relatively larger than the supply Of stocks The
rates for carrying stocks through the new ac-
count were not excessive.
The arran.- ements that the banks and other
financial institutions are making to handle the
i
possible helped to impart n strong tone to the
stock market. Besides. money Is com.
ing back from tho interior in large
quantities II il learned that the amount
received by registered mall yesterday was
upward Of S3.5O0.0O0. Some OF the money
received is to make good speculative lossss,
but moro OF 1t goes to pay for securities bought
last week. To-day's market showed that the
absorption OF stocks that took place last week
has no. yet been fully appreciated by the
street. Tho heaviest trading was in Brooklyn
Rapid Transit. but owing TO u sharp raid upon
II about midday. II closed q point lower than
yesterday. This was the only noteworthy loss
recorded.
Tho exceptionally strong stocks were Sugar
Refining. Metropolitan Street Railway Peo-
PIES Gas. American Tobacco. Steel and Wire.
Federal Steel. Tennessee Coal and Iron. Balti-
