LOCAL MARKET NOTES.

The Richmond stock market yesterday
was quiet and dull, with the sale of a
few shares of American Locomotive stock
about the only transaction on Change.
The New York market was stronger and
more active early. but fell away into
semi-stagnation. Sterling exchange was
reported dull. but firm al New York, with
slightly higher prices bid for to-morrow's
steamer. In London, bar silver was re-
ported down IL to q Liza new law
record, with the market quiet.
In country produce, eggs were the lead
ing feature bringing % to "a cents. They
have risen a cent during the week.
There were light breaks of tobacco at
all the warehouses. Fifteen and a quar-
ter cents was about the best prices; this
for lot of dark sun-cured.
The business community as whole
was under the shadow of the large fail
ure reported in the morning papers, but
while the misfortune was greatly de-
plored, because of its effect on the city
as whole, as well as because of what II
means for those most nearly concerned,
it was agreed that no particular interest
would suffer perceptibly, and that the
losses, should there be any after the
final adjustment Of affairs, would pro-
badly fall where they could best be borne.

Married Men Fined So for Staying Out
Late at Night.

At Uclzen, II city in the western par;
of Hanover the authorities have just
passed n law which has met with the
warm appreciation of the women of the
place and the indignant protests of the
married men. The town was getting
altogether too convivial. The old time
honored excuses of the lodge" and
business" and sitting up with n sick
friend" were worn threadhare. The
women resolved to act They exercised
all their influence with the city fathers
and finally got a law passed requiring
that all married men he home at or be
fore II o'clock every night The pen
atty for violation of this law is fixed
at IA fine of So for each offense. Hall
OF the fine goes to the person making
complaint, who, in all cases so far. has
been the wife.
BY means of this law the homes of
Uelzen are expected to be in an ideal
condition before long, and the wife's
authority therein unquestioned. If
hubby" fOrgets himself and stays out
after II o'clock some night the wife
can either have him fined and get her
share Of the proceeds. or she can do
what is better-shc can hold the knowl-
edge of his law-breaking over his head
rs club with which TO enforce obe-
oience and good behavior generally.
Needless to say, the married men of
the neighborinS German towns are
much exercised over the action of the
city authorities of Uelzen. for the law
is working so well there that they are
afraid il will prove contagious and
spread to their own boroughs. The un-
married men of UelZen, of course, are
as much pleased with the law as the
women 0s the town. They can now
stay out at night and enjoy themselves
free from the incubus of the old
fogies.
