THE MARKET ELSEWHERE.

New York, May 9.-The market today
was demoralized by liquidation both
voluntary and forced, and values melt
ed away with large interests appar-
entity apathetic. Marginal accounts
We're wiped out and nothing escaped
the furious decline The continuation
of bear pressure disheartened many,
and resulted in shaking out many COM
mission house accounts. The market
was devoid of general new features,
but local stocks reflected fear as to the
probable effect of the Ford franchise

lief would be signed tomorrow.
London purchased some 10 900 shares

RISE IN LUMBER.

P. w. Wood. vice president of the w.

that a false impression has been given
out regarding the price of lumber and
its scarcity. He says that the demand
exceeds the supply, and prices have
risen 10 or II per cent, but lumber can
be obtained. and he does not look to
see prices rise any higher. There is no
such scarcity Of lumber as to leopard

DEMURRERs SUSTAINED.
Courts Decision on Case in Whicl
Perjury Was CHARGED

Hearing was had today before Justice
Bradley, in Criminal Court No. Q, on the
demurrers in connection with the indiet-
ments, alleging perjury, reported against
William G. Woodruff. George F. Stevens
Robert A Boyd and Robert D. Ruffin The
indictments were reported last October and
charged false swearing before Justice of
the Peace Scott when the parties indicted
were offered sureties on an appeal bond
in a landlord and tenant proceeding, in
which Diller B. Croft was the complainant
and Josephine Roberts the defendant
Judgment was rendered In favor of the
complainant for possession, the defendant
noted an appeal and was required to give
the usual bond. with sureties 1t was
charged that Woodruff and the others mem
toned made false answers touching their
property qualifications when examined.
Counsel interposed demurrers on tbe
ground that the justice of the peace had No
right or authority to administer an oath
under the circumstances, and that even N
the statements made were false that djd
not constitute perjury.
Justice Bradley sustained the demurrers
on the ground that the action of the Justice
was extra-judicial and that perjury could
not be predicated thereon. It was not a
proceeding wherein any law of the United
States authorized an oath to be administer
might advise himself in any way he saw at
as to the competency of the proposed sure-l
ties. and it was not necessary to admin
lister an oath. Justice Bradley, in ruling on
the question, expressed regret that there,
was not some law to cover such cases. and
he suggested that Congress should be an
