NEW YORK, March 1.-Opening prices
this morning reflected some hesitancy, due
to London disappointment over the situa-
ton in South Africa and the uncertainty
as to the showing to be made by the local
banks AS to the latter prospect 1t is def
| nitely known that the banks have lost
about S2,0OO.OO0 to the subtreasury on ac-
count of customs payments, and have
gained only half that amount from the in
terror
Money is kept easy and there Is no appar
ent concern, on the part of the banking in
terests on this point. The underwriting OF
the steel consolidation will require a con-
siderable sum, but the terms Of the syndi-
cate transaction provide against none
tary disturbance. but loss in cash by the
banks and an increase In loans will not en-
courage the average trader to undertake
new risks even in the presence Of positive
assurances that the danger has been re-
duced to minimum
The steel deal In all its phases has stag
gered the street, and attention Is gradually
drifting away toward other more definite
quantities. This result is satisfactory to
the promoters and to the public
The liquidation in Union Pacific issues Is
pretty generally credited to interests which
have met with speculative reverses in the
steel stocks and were forced into reduc-
ton of long holdings. This is virtually the
only Instance Of direct injury growing out
of the steel consolidation. but is the result
Of misunderstanding of the project and is
in no way traceable to the natural conse-
quences of the plan.
Erie issues showed some signs of accumu-
lation as the result of the railroad commits
sion's sanction of the increased stock ISSUE
and rumors OF closer relations with Lehigh
Valley. The sudden change in the fortunes
of this company have attracted an enthusi-
astic following, who predict still more re-
markabie achievements.
St Pauls decision to issue new stock at
par for 10 per cent of present holdings was
a disappointment to those who had bought
stock was to have been issued as an extra
dividend
The dividend rate Is likely to be increased,
however and the date has been so arranged
as to allow the new stock to participate in
the disbursement.
American sugar was well bought by strong
interests and a considerable short interest
was disclosed in the stock. The coffee war
has been adjusted. 1t is stated on good au-
thority and an extra dividend may be de-
ciared next week. This latter point Is the
one about which most of the current spec
ulation revolves. Amalgamated Copper was
strong again under inside buying on a con-
siderable scale.

INJUNCTION ASKED FOR.
Temporary Restraining Order Issued
and Date of Hearing Fixed.


Aloysius ]. Langley, through Attorneys
Wilton J. Lambert and d. w. Baker, has
filed a petition for injunction in the Equity
Court against George D. Horning. a note
broker of this city. The complainant al
leges that some months ago the defendant,
being in the business of loaning money
upon notes, prevailed upon the complain
ant to purchase a watch from him. which,
1t is averred, was represented by the de-
PENDANT to be of fine quality of gold plate
and to contain excellent works, all Of which
would be guaranteed to give satisfaction
for a period of twenty years
1t is charged tina in short time the gold
disappeared and the works became impair
ed: that Notwithstanding the complainant
had paid $50 on account of the purchase
the defendant entered suit against COM
plainant before a justice of the peace for
the sum of $50. claimed to be due upon the
watch. Upon obtaining judgment two
wrts of garnishment were issued, by which
his salary for different weeks was attached.
Notwithstanding the fact that he was a
married man and his salary was, 1t Is
claimed, exempt from execution. The sums
attached were mostly applied to the costs
of the writs, leaving the principal debt I'M
diminished, as 1t is stated. Another writ OF
garnishment was issued upon the COM
plainant's salary the 18th Of January, it Is
added and upon return being made on the
Dist the justice of the peace at once en-
tered judgment of condemnation thereon.
and though the complainant appeared on
the 22d and pleaded and sustained his right
to exemptions, it is averred the Justice of
the peace refused to allow the complainant
the benefit of same or to set aside the con-
demnation, on account Of which, it Is al
legged execution is liable to issue, greatly
to the damage of complainant.
Upon the matter being presented to Jus
tice Bradley. in Equity Court No. 2 the
court issued an order enjoining the defend
ant from further prosecuting the action OF
the Justice Of the peace until after hear
ing, to be had the 18th day Of March.

GUARDING AGAINST CROOKS.
Policemen and Detectives Already on
the Alert.

1t is expected by the police that large
number of crooks especially pickpockets.
will be mere during the next few days to
see what they can steal, and with the
thoughtful assistance of citizens the police
think the stealing will not amount to as
much it otherwise would.
While visitors in large numbers and spe-
cial trains are not expected before tomorrow
the detectives are already on the lookout
about the depots for strangers whose pic
lures grace the rogues' gallery. Many OF
the older criminals have been here before
and some of them may return. There are
others, however. who have not been here
and who are not known to the local detec-
tives. With such men the detectives from
other cities will have to deal Members of
the local force have been studying the faces
of the crooks lately, especially those of the
plckpockets. and those whose photographs
are in the gallery will in all probability be
recognized should they come here.
1t is not alone the pickpocket who is
feared by the police. but some of the expert
house thieves may also come. At times
when the attraction is in one section Of
the city and the other sections are prac-
tically deserted, burglars take advantage of
the conditions and some big -hauls are made.
Major Sylvester has arranged for the dspo-
sition Of the regular and special policemen,
SO. that the outlying districts will be fairly
well protected. Because of the big crowds
that will be along Pennsylvania avenue and
the other business thoroughfares the more
experienced policemen will have to do duty
there.
Pickpockets. the police say. are wiser now
than they were years ago, and. conSe-
quently. they are not so easy to catch.
Most Of them, it is believed, will come here
late Sunday night or early Monday morn
ing. One day and one night will probably
be enough time for the more expert Of the
light-fingered gentry to operate in. Some
of them may visit the inaugural ball. Those
VINO fail to do much business Monday may
remain until Tuesday.
Pickpockets usually work In so-called
"mobs" Of from three to five. They will
attack a crowd perhaps at a transfer sta
ton on city railroad. get as many pocket
books as they can, and then go to side
street or in a bar room to abstract their
contents or weed them. Usually they go
to a crowded saloon, and 1t is common
thing for them to throw the emptied books
into the water tanks in toilet rooms. Each
time haul Is made the crooks get rid of
the evidence as soon as possible, so that in
the event Of their arrest nothing will be
found on them except cash.
Anticipating number of crooks at the
inaugural ball, the police officials have Sc
lected a number Of the best detectives for
detectives are among those selected for this
service. All known crooks who are ar
rested will be measured and photographed
for the gallery, in addition to being taken
to the Police Court.

Judges Kimball and Scott have under con-

custodian of collateral deposited by persons
arrested for alleged offenses against the
United States Until the enactment Of the
law recently passed by Congress on the
subject 1t was the custom for such funds
to be turned over to the deputy marshal
daily, to be deposited in due course with
the proper higher authorities. Deputy Mar
shall Lacy now claims that there is no au-

to take the funds mentioned until they have
been duly forfeited in the presence of the

In the meantime all such money will be
retained by the lieutenant of the precinct in
which the alleged offense takes place.

RAG DEALERS RICH HAUL.
He Gets $500 in Bundle of Old

CHICAGO. March 1.-The identity of the
rag dealer who for eleven cents secured a
bundle of old clothes containing $3.50 be-
longing to Mrs. Mary Conley, 4O13, Armour
avenue, has apparently been discovered. 1t
is thought he is now board a steamer
bound for Germany and that recovery OF
the money is doubtful.
The police learned that F. Feldman, rag
dealer, had become possessed of a large
cum of money on February q. The money
was in bills of various denominations s.,
SO and $40 gold pieces. Being unable to
count the money, Feldman Is said to have
called in a neighbor. who summed up the
total amount as $3.676. Feldman then left
for Europe, and although a telegram was
sent to New York to detain him, it is be-
lieved he has too great start and is now
