COURT IMPOSES FINES.
Capitol Restaurant Keepers Declared to
Have Sold LIQUOR Uulawfullv.

Judge Scott of the Police Court rendered
judgment this morning in the two cases
against Theodore L. Page and Warren j.
Coffin, proprietors Of the Senate and House
restaurants in the Capitol building, who
were tried recently for conducting alleged
unlicensed bars in those restaurants.
The court imposed a fine of $500 on each
Of the defendants, with two months in the
workhouse in default. Attorney George C.
Hazleton. counsel for the defendants, asked
that the amount of bond be fixed stating
that his clients intended to carry the case
to the Court of Appeals. A bond Of $500,
which the court required. was filed.
Attorney Hazleton contends that the Po-
lice Court has no jurisdiction over the prem
ises, in that Congress gave the defendants
permission to dispense liquor in the res
taurants at the Capitol building, and has
not placed the control of the Capitol under
the Commissioners or any one else.

Carolina Portland Cement Co.,

shared out as the building season pro"
crosses. We are making every effort to
provide for each and every one of our
customers and friends, and whenever you
are in need, advise us, and we will at
tend to your wants with the greatest
possible attention.
1--WE have all of the following Portland
Clements, which we can deliver you in

ment; Phoenix" Brand Of American

tity of "old Dominion" Portland Ce-
ment."

buyers on a large scale in view, holders
show themselves content to carry stocks
and wait for more active demand The
very idleness of the market is a reassur-
ing fact. Over extension of credits in
speculative ventures is the one factor
that threatened bad consequences. Now
there seems to be a common agreement
to await the satisfaction of coming re-
quirements of the country for moving
the crops. All authorities are agreed
that this requirement will be unusually
large this year. Todays small export of
gold was obviously a mercantile trans
action and it was broadly intimated that
something equivalent to a premium was
paid by those who are to get it, The
nearer approach of the period of safety
for the years crops confirms the con-
dence in their abundance. With plenti-
fIl harvests and large surplus of our
products for exports, any anxiety over
the liquidation of our floating foreign
Indebtedness without embarrassment is
quieted.
A demand for the Gould Southwest
ems was the most conspicuous feature
of today's trading. The very heavy buy
ing of Texas and Pacific was by the same
brokers who have been active in Missouri
Pacific for some time past, and the re-
Spouse of other railroads in the group
was purely sympathetic. The operations
were supposed to be for account of the
same pool which has followed the upward
movement in these stocks from the start.
Hooking Coal made jump on inspired
limitations that large new interests We're
ito enter the property and expand its
field of activity. Hooking Valley was
brought on the advantage the bitumin
Gus coal trade is enjoying from the
paralysis of the anthracite trade. The
movement in sugar was characteristic of
that stock IN a period of dizziness in the
general market and was ascribed to the
prospect of an active season in the fruit
canning trade. The only stock which
seemed to be directly affected by the ex-
cellent corn crop reports was Atchison,
of which the absorption was very large.
There were a number of minor stocks
to show some strength. Brooklyn Transit
was heavy on the poor report of earn
ings for the fiscal year. St. Louis and
San Francisco reflected some disappoint-
ment over the deferred announcement
of the details of it's new acquirments.
The express stocks made further easy
advances on light transactions. The mar
ket closed moderately active but irregu-
lar.
Early frmness in bonds gave way to
some reaction. Total sales, par value,

Chicoga, Aug. 6.-Bulls in the grain pits

the glowing reports from the harvest
fields. Everywhere came in advices of
excellent prospects. Corn promised a
bumper yield and with splendid weather
for harvesting spring wheat, prices
slumped off. Some good export sales Of
wheat late in the day steadied wheat

This helped late prices. At the close

NEW YORK COTTON.

New York, Aug. 6.-The cotton market
opened steady with prices unchanged to
one point higher and for the rest of the
morning and during the EARLY afternoon
was dull and devoid of interesting fea-
lures. The English market news was
matter Of fact and there were little drops
in the cotton country to influence pre-
vailing opinions. Receipts were rather
disappointing and the spot situation pre-
sented no new features. Nevertheless,
Wall Street and other bulls were again
conspicuous as buyers of the October,
December and. January options. The COM
mission houses as a rule sold the distant
months during the early part of the ses-
sion; Europe and the South bought in a
small way. Yet speculation did not
broaden, in fact, the public held aloof
for further developments in the crop
country. Toward the close shorts be-
came nervous and a little bull support
only was needed to send prices up quite
sharply. January reaching 1853. while
August worked up to S.21 The close was
very steady, with prices net to points
higher. Total sales were estimated at
100 900 bales.
