to see the pressure of realizing come too
heavy upon the market at that time.
They are disposed, therefore, to dis
courage further speculation at this time.
There has been some disposition on the
part of the commission brokers to call
for an extension of margins. The risk
incident to the particular period is alleged
as the ground, but it is thought not inn
probable that enforcement of conserva-
tive views on speculation may be an Ill
terror motive of the commission houses.
This mornings market showed some re-
naming effect from the rallying tendency
of yesterdays. But the buying exhaust
ed itself soon after the opening and
prices drifted to lower level. The poor
showing of net earnings for September by
Northern Pacific caused the reaction in
that stock from yesterdays strength on
the marketing of some very large blocks.
Late in the day Southern Pacific, after
holding firmly all through the early deal
ings, shot up 25s on concentrated and very
heavy buying. The stock was bought
early for London account, seemingly on
satisfaction over the choice for the new
executive. An almost endless stream of
stocks was poured out when the price
reached SO, but all offerings were con-
fidently absorbed and the price finally
rose to that figure, but buying was then
relaxed This late movement had SYM
pathetic effect on the whole market and
pulled some of the railroad stocks above
last nights level. There was some
strength among the leading industrials
and specialties, led by Sugar. The Iron
and Steel stocks were inclined to advance
after some early heaviness in sympathy
with loss of liz in tin plate Tennessee
Coal was notably strong. Pittsburg, c..
C. & st. L. fell nearly points on light
selling, and National Lead preferred lost
ga The money market was easier on
a relaxation in the demand rather than
any additional supply.
The tendency of bonds was rather
easier, but points of strength developed in
the market as the day progressed. Total
sales, par value, were $1,210,OO0 United
States bonds were unchanged on last call
The total sales of stocks today were 377,-
500 shares, including the following: At
Gibson, 1855; Atchison preferred, 9,O37;
Baltimore and Ohio, IL, 210; Northern Pa

DISSEMINATION ALLEGED.
Attention Called to Provisions oi
Proposed License Law.

The attention of the District Commission
ers has been invited to the fact that section
63 of the license bill. recently drafted by a
committee Of municipal authorities appoint
ed for the purpose by the Curr1uri ssioners.
provides that not only shall the proDrietors
or theaters pay an annual license of Slni
but that the proprietors of other buildings
than theaters. where exhibitions lectures Or
entertainments of any description are con-
Quoted for gain. shall pay a like license
fee. The proprietors or managers OF a
number of halls included in the propnsed
law have presented TO the Commissioners
a statement in which 1t is asserted that the
committee which drafted the bill evidently
either overlooked the fact that the income
derived from theaters is greatly in excess
or That derived from other buildings used
as places of amusement or entertainments
TO require the proprietors or managers Of
the last named buildings to pay he same
license fee would. it is claimed arnounf ia
a discrimination, first, because theater BRO
prletorS or managers would be taxed les
than the proprietors or managers of the
other places in proportion to the rental ana
second, because 1t would require either the
abandonment of numerous minor social
charitable and religious amusements or en-
tertalnments, or the adoption Of the thrat.r
in some instances in lieu of them
Among those who have protested a:sa:I,sr
TINS alleged discrimination are Benedict
