New York, Sept. 7.-R. G. Dun e. Co.'s
Review of Trade today says:
A holiday reduced the volume of le-
climate business, while speculative OPP
erations were seriously curtailed by the
general closing OF exchanges from Fri
day afternoon to Tuesday morning. In
the movement of merchandise and in
many manufacturing lines there has
been an effort to make up the loss by
working overtime, but the weeks rec.
ord will fall behind those immediately
preceding. Actual sales Of many iron
ard steel products are recorded at ma
terial advances. and the tone turnout is
hardened by vigorous demand. Plac-
ing of sample orders for spring footwear
is of such character as to indicate a
healthy market, and some jobbers ARG
so anxious for early delivery that con-
tracts are being closed now. Despite
more activity in cotton goods and plac.
Ing OF government contracts, the staple
SHOWS no great strength. Attic unsettled
IN tone, little alteration occurred in the
principal cereals. Trading was re-
stricted. and there was an apparent dis
inclination to assume an aggressive
stand on either side of the market"

THE CAB DRIVER ACQUITTED
The Court Fails to Hold William 4.
MocISabee for Assault

William A. Mockabee. a cab driver, was
acquitted by a jury in the Police Court
yesterday afternoon OF having committed
an assault upon Andrew Y Bradley, a
son Of Judge Bradley. The alleged as
sault was committed in front of Judge
Bradley's house and the Judge was sworn
and took the stand as a witness in the
case. The trouble occurred on the night
of February and was the outgrowth of
questionable agreement into which the
cabman entered.
Mr.. Bradley, Arthur Peter, and DR. Ma
son had been attending a dance at the
Masonic Temple and on emerging from
the building the cabman agreed to take
them where they wanted to go for %
cents apiece. He drove first to DR.. Ma
sons house and then to the home Of
Judge Bradley. but when told that he
would have to take Mr. Peter to George
town he said that he would not do so UNI
less paid another fare. This was refused
and as Mr. Peter attempted to enter the
Bradley house the cabman is said TO have
brandished a bludgeon over Bradley's
head and accompanied this action with
abusive and threatening language. No
blows were actually struck and the
charge was based upon purely technical
grounds.

THE GREAT FALLS COMPANY
Pushing the Plan to Furnish the
District With Electricity.
Legal and other Difficulties said to
Have Been Overcome by COmprO-
misses - Close Relations With the
Washington Traction Syndicate.

The plans Of the Great Falls Electric
Company to furnish Washington with
electric light and power have been long
delayed, but they have not been abandon
ed at any time, and it is now stated that
the legal and other difficulties in the way
of the company have been overcome, and
that the company soon will be prepared
to begin business. In the near future it
is said, all the street railways owned by
the Washington Traction Company and
both electric light companies will be run
by power supplied direct from the Falls
A compromise has been arranged be-
tween Q. T. Crosby and {. A Lieb, who
own the greater part Of the stock of the
Great Falls Company, and the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Canal Company, which
has had the principal counter claim to
rights at the Falls. Other parties who
had acquired rights at the lower falls and
for considerable distance up the Poto-
mac have also come to an understanding
with the Great Falls Company, it is
understood.
The project of the Great Falls Company
was described IN The Times year or
more ago, when Messrs. Crosby and Lieb
acquired the company and began their
plans. Since then, as has been stated
from time to time, the work of surveying
for the project has continued and other
necessary steps have been taken. More
recently some of the financial difficulties
in connection with the floating of the
company and furnishing@it with sufficient
capital have been overcome.
Messrs Lieb and Crosby the owners of
the Great Falls Company, are also stock
holders in and intimately identified with
the Washington Traction and Elec
trio Company which owns near
ly all the street railways of the
panies. The two concerns will not be
Identified In any way officially, it is said,
but the understanding is that they will be
run in entire harmony. The project of the
Great Falls Company is to furnish all of
its power to the two electric companies
and through them to furnish not only
the motive power for the street railways,
but also the electric lights for the Dis
trict and all the power needed by other
corporations which now use power sup
piled by the United States Company and
the Potomac Company.
The project of the Washington Trac
ton and Electric Company to enlarge the
United States Electric Light Company
plant has been delayed for some weeks
owing to the belief that the Great Falls
Company would be able to carry through
its plans. 1t is stated by officers of the
company that the enlargement will be
made now, but that the new plant will
lie constructed on somewhat different
United States plant and the Potomac
plant will be utilized chiefly as intermedi-
ate stations in transmitting the electric
current from the Falls.
