OF INTEREST TO LAWYERS.
New Laws Proposed-May Attach County
Employees.

Employees.
The provision that the plaintiff may
unite several aus of action legal or
equitable in the same complaint is a
feature of the bill introduced by the
judiciary committee in the senate
Saturday. The conditions upon which
such privilege may be given the plain
tiff are when the cases arise out of
contracts, express or implied; claims
to specific real property, with
or without damages, or for waste COM
mitted, rents and profits, or for an in
junction to prevent such waste or in
jury; claims against a trustee by vir-
tue Of a contract Or law; injuries to
character, injury to persons or prop
erty.
Causes of the act united must ap-
pear on the face of the complaint to
belong to only one Of these classes
and must affect all Of the PARTIES to
the action and not require different
places for trial and must be separately
stated and numbered. A provision is
made that a contract express or i'm
piled and injuries to property may be
entitled in the same complaint, and
any relief to which the plaintiff may
be entitled may be had by uniting
them.
In an action for malicious arrest
and prosecution it may be united with
an action for either injury to charac-
ter o. person.
This bill is a proposed amendment
to section 672, chapter, title 6 part
of the code of civil procedure.
Under the existing laws applying to
rules of procedure in criminal and
civil cases instructions are given to
the jury by the court before the argu-
ments are made by the lawyers in the
case. Two bills introduced in the
senate by Senator H. L. Myers provide
amendments to the sections of the
civil and penal codes bearing upon
that subject. The amendments are to
reverse the provisions of the law
now in force and let the lawyers
argue their cases after the instruc-
tions to the jury have been passed
upon and settled and the court has
charged the jury.
Senator H. L. Myers has a bill in
form Of preparation providing county
treasurers to publish semi-anuually
in a newspaper a statement Of all IL
cense money collected by the counties.
Prior to 1896 such a law was in effect
and this bill is for the purpose of re-
Installing the old law. The senator
will also introduce a bill requiring
county treasurers to publish all ac-
count of all personal taxes collected.
The present law requires only the Off
cial publication of taxes on real estate.
Money in the hands of the state,
counties Or municipalities are not SUBJ
ject to attachment under the law now
in force in the state and a bill to be
introduced by Senator w. F. Meyer of
Carbon county provides that the at
tachment of such money may be had.
"This provision was omitted, (" said
Senator Meyer, "as a great many nee
essary clauses in other bills have been
overlooked in the process of former
legislation. I do not think there will
be any opposition to the amendment. :"
The amendment proposed is to re-
peal section IS of the code of civil pro-
cedure that relates to attachments.

The number of smallpox patients in

Of which came from Gibson's grading

LOCAL BUSINESS NOTES.
Comment in F Street on the Recent
Grnphophone Circular.

The recent acute desire TO get out OF
the Graphophone securities seems to
have ceased. but no anxiety to buy the
stock has replaced 1t, and, as a result,
they have been extremely duh for day
or two. Yesterday the bid and asking
price on both the common and the pre-
ferred were a long way apart. No one
was willing to part with the common for
less than ), and there We're no bids of
more than AZ. The preferred was offered
at SSI, eX-dividend and there was no bid
of better than s. The street hears a great
many rumors regarding the company, and
its business. and the intention OF its man
agement with regard to future dividend
policy. There is much criticism of the de-
velopments of the past few weeks some
of it entirely friendly, but some of it ex-
ceedingly bitter also. 1t is noted that
two or three weeks ago President Easton
made the statement very positively that
there was nothing to warrant the tumble
in the prices Of its securities. This was
an official statement. and had much
weight with holders of the securities un-
doubtedly. y week after this statement
was made the circular appeared announc-
ing the cut in the preferred dividend and
the extreme uncertainty over the common

Bank Statement.

NEW YORK. Nov. I'm the item of re-
serve the weekly statement Of averages
of the associated banks conformed more
nearly to the known movements of money
than did the showing of last week. 1t is
possible that the loss I'm lawful money,
which is about $i.3J0Cl0 larger than yes
terdays compilation 81 the known move
ments, results from a rectiication,
through the system of averages of the
unexpected increase of nearly Sl.5oo,Ooo in
that item last Saturday.
An increase Of over SO, 600 200 in the loans
is not surprising in view of the steady
transfer of accommodations from the for
eign exchange to the local money market.
The increase in the loan account, less the
loss in cash. is reflected rather more ac-
curately than usual in the deposits, the
discrepancy being only about s5OO,OOo. The
reserve requirements against the larger
deposits, together with the loss in cash,
have brought the surplus reserve down to
a little less than s1O.5O0O 600. Still. it is
nearly twice as large as year ago, while
two years ago the banks. as a whole,
were slightly below legal requirements.
The stock market was duh the greater
part of the forenoon, and was really
saved from stagnation by renewed selling
of Peoples Gas, which left that stock
ia per cent lower than yesterday, and by
heavy buying of Union Pacific, particular
ly in the late dealings, that lifted it near
~ points. This last movement had
stimulating effect on the whole list. While
satisfactory progress is, according to an
accounts being made in the direction in
dicated, it will apparently take some days
yet to arrange the details of a settlement.
In the meantime, the market for securi-
ties constantly shows a disposition to re-
spond TO such a favorable development.
Stocks other than Union Pacific that
advanced sharply this morning were IL

cellent reports during the week. The bi-
luminous coal trade Is ia the same pros
porous condition. II is reported from all
the railways in both the coal regions that
1t is in possible to haul all the coal or
dered because of the lack of cars. which.
despite the heavy purchases of rolling
stock during the past few years, is now
more acute than at any time before. The
coal business like the steel business and
the railway business. is an excellent
barometer OF general trade.

stock market during the past week has
been strong. To be sure the public buy
ing Of stocks has not been lsrge-though
il has been persistent in some securities
and to be sure the market has not been
broad. 1t would seem, however that the
time has passed in which II reasonably
may be supposed that the professionals
are at the bottom of the advance in
prices. If the professionals were the only
buyers they would have become sellers
before now, and there would have been
a break yesterday instead OF a continu-
ance of the advance. Some Of the most
careful people in Wall Street believe
that there has been steady accumulation
of stocks by important people. and that
this accumulation viii be followed in the
not very far distant future by big an
nouncements regarding the pending deals.
and then by sharp and important boom
in the market. Perhaps this boom Will
come Immediately after the elections. If
the insiders have such plan for the near
future, they are not likely to allow much
of a recession early this week. The mar
kets tomorrow and Tuesday, therefore,
will be watched with much interest
