YESTERDAYS STOCK MARKET


 New York, June 24.-The stock mar ket has been dull this week, but there was no pressure to sell any volume of stock. The decline is only temporary, and just what we should expect in a trading market like the present one.
 There are good opportunities to pick up some cheap stocks on the weak days, and advantage shoudl be taken of the opportunities. .,. Pennsylvania is selling around 124 again and ought to be an attractive purchase at that figure as we'll as Atch- ison around 66; as also Union Pacific at 80, Southern Pacific at AS, Baltimore & Ohio at S4, New York Central at 102-4, Brooklyn Rapid Transit 55 and Tennes- see Coal and Iron at 50. If you are long of Colorado Fuel and Iron profits should be taken around 69, and in view of the rapid advance that this stock has made. short sales could be made, keep stop order on the shorts or buy it again for a long account if it shoudl cross 71. There has been some selling of litte importance. This has been for turn only and it should be bought on any weakness, for it is likely to go higher. @

 BE RIGIDLY PUSHED.
Every EHor. mu., be Used to Puai.h onsndsr.-commsnds Attorney Gen. .raI-speclsi Counsel Employed.

SSenseA GU.
 Washington. June 24-The president has sent the following letter to the at- tomey general:
 White House, Washington, June 32.
 1903.
 Sir: As you know. the charges in connection with the postofice depart- ment are now being investigated by Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow, who has had placed at his dis posal by the postmaster general every resource Of the department, including the services of MT. Robh, whom you de- tailed from the department of Justice to the postoffice department immediate ly after the removal of Mr. Tyner. As a result of this investigation, number of indictments have already been had. and 1t is probable that other indict- ments will hereafter be asked for.
 There can be no greater offense against the government than a breach of trust on the part of a. public official, or the dishonest management of his of- flee, and, of course, every effort must be exerted to bring such offenders to pun ishment by the utmost rigor of the Jaw. The district attorneys office of the Dis trict of Columbia has faithfully and zealously seconded the efforts of the postoffice department In this matter. but the amount of work in the office is such as to make it difficult, without neglecting other important public du- ties, to devote all the time necessary to the prosecution of these cases. < T suggest, therefore, that if you can not detail some of your present staff, you appoint special assistants in these postoffice cases, not only to take up the eases in which indictments have been found or hereafter may be found, but to examine into all charges that have been made against officials in the postal ser- vice. with a view to the removal and prosecution of all guilty men in the ser vice and the prosecution of guilty men, whether in the service or not, where the cases are not barred by the, statute of limitation. Sincerely yours,
 Theodore Roosevelt"
 Hon. P. c. Knox, Attorney Generals .'s
 Carrying out the presidents sugges- ton, Attorney General Knox has ap- pointed Charles J. Bonaparte of Balti- more a special attorney to assist in these prosecutions, and upon his return here this afternoon Holmes Conrad, former solicitor general. will be tender- ed q like appointment.

 Mrs. Heffernan.
 The application for liquor license which Mrs. Kate Steinmetz sent in to the county commissioners and upon which there was a hearing Tuesday, has been declared void by the commits sioners, as it has been discovered that Mrs Steinmetz has married again. her real name being Mrs. Heffernan. This throws out all chance of the application being granted in the name of Mrs. Steinmetz. However, in order to have the saloon in the family, Mrs. Heffer- mans brother, Patrick J.
