KIDS In
SQUIRE
COURT
JUVENILE PRINCIPALS FEATURE
AN ASSAULT AND BATTERY
CASE BEFORE MAReIs.
TRArE GORDON.
Ten-Year-old Lynn Morris Has Little
Carl Fields Arrested for Assault and
Battery.-Fields Smashed Morris
in the Head With an Apple.

Ten-year-old children figured In an
assault and battery case before AIagis,
trate S. w. Gordon Tuesday evening.
Lynn Morris swore out warrant against
Carl Fields, charging him with assault
md battery. Both of the principals in
the case are mere children. They are
about ten years old, and live in Broad
Oaks addition.
The case was brought TO trial in the
magistrates court Tuesday evening at /
o'clock. 1t seems that Fields waylaid
Morris the other evening when the latter
was returning from school, and threw
an apple at him. The apple struck Nor.
ris on the forehead, and it was thrown
with such force that it burst and spat.
tered all over the ground. Morris pick.
ed up heavy stone and was Just in
the act of throwing it at Fields when
some one happened along and stopped
the fight.
The case was thoroughly aired in the
court, and lot of family troubles told
on each side. 1t appears that there had
been some trouble between the two fam.
lilies, and the boys, as Representatives of
their respective houses, intended to settle
the matter between themselves in true
feudal fashion as in the days in which
knight heraldry was the real stuff.
The magistrate fined the Fields boy
SIS and costs, but, owing to the peculiar
circumstances of the case, and on ac.
count of the youthful ages of the prin.
cipals, he remitted the fine. The boys
mother agreed to settle the costs of the
case. The magistrate gave the boys a
good talking to and told them that il
they ever appeared in court again they
would be dealt with accordingly. He
intimated that the state5Teform school
vas still located at Pruntybown, and
that If the boys ever got into trouble
again, they would be sent there. The
Fields boy has been the juvenile prin-
cipal in one or two like cases before
before.

STRUCK
Musicians Failed to Put in Appearance
at Opera House Last Night and Home
Talent Entertainment Was
Delayed.

1hc entertainment, "The Hanging Of
tile Crane,' presented at the Grand op.
era house last night, was delayed nearly
an hour on account Of the non-appear.
ancc of the opera house orchestra. Prof.
Grow, the leader, and the pianist, were
on hand at the appointed time, but the
other members of that musical organiza-
tion did not show up at all. After wait
ing As long as they possibly could under
the circumstances, the play proceeded
without the orchestral accompaniment.
il'te members of the Auxiliary are rather
iniignant-that the orchestra should leave
them in the lureh as the did, as the
wea,bets promised they would be on
hand. 1t is probable that there was
some misunderstanding about the matter.

DOUBTFUL FEELING
 IN STOCK MARKET
Selling Movement Carries Many
 of the Leaders Down
A GAIN IN CASH RESERVE
Publication of the Bank Statement Brings Agreeable Surprise to the operators-The Sterling Ex-
 change Market Is Weak.

New York December 5.-There was a tone of doubt and hesitation in today stock market which quite naturally fol- lowed the appearance in Yesterdays mar ket-of signs of continuation of the rise. Yesterday's large volume of dealings and the small net changes in prices pointed to heavy realizing and to large short GOV ering. Whlle the realizing is strength ening factor of the market the reaction of the short interest deprives 1t oi technical factor of strength
 A renewed advance in Brooklyn Tran sit followed by the local fractions this morning obtained little following in the general list. selling movement fol- lowed which carried a number of the leaders, such as Pennsylvania, United States Steel preferred and Amalgamated, a point under last night. A feverish and irregular recovery succeeded upon the publication of the bank statement The gain of half million dollars in cash reserves was an agreeable surprise com pared with the expectation of a decrease of several hundred thousand dollars, and it is supposed to be due to the making up of former discrepancies the other way. The increase in the loan item of little over a million dollars was not disturbing The market closed steady and not far from last nights level
 The sterling exchange market was weak and declined further to a level which will assume the movement toward New York of any available gold supply in foreign money markets. The Financial Chronicle points out that municipal bond sales TOT November were larger than for any pre- vious November except in 1896 The large issues of new railroad bonds, which have been successfully placed in the recent past, is also the occasion of comment favorable to the financial prospect. A contract is afforded by the figures of new interpretations with a capital of 900 or more during November, which fell to the lowest aggregate of any month since the early part of 1S99
 But it is made clear from the movement of the exchange and the statistical situa- tion that retrenchment continues at all centers of the United States A new de- velopment has been the shipments of gold from Japan to San Francisco San Fran cisco's exchange needs are usually sats- fled by way of Australia. but large Aus tralian crops have thrown the advantage of exchange in that center. Confidence is undminished, however. that money will become easier with the turn of the year, and it Is believed the movements of stocks, in part are discounting this ex- pectation.
 The bond market has been somewhat irregular but has grown stronger in sym pathy with stocks. United States 2s and the new 4s declined 14 per cent below the closing of last week.

Quotations un- changed. Futures opened quiet with prices from 10 to 13 points lower than yesterdays closing level. Prominent bulls then supported prices somewhat, but not aggressively, sending them up or 10 points. 1t is the general opinion that slump of g or 30 points would in- duce a great buying wave that would send prices well up toward the 15 cent mark. In the trading. which was com paratively light, the fluctuations were numerous but narrow.

Caldwell 6 Wards Cotton Letter.

By Miller & Co.
 New York, December 5.-The Liverpool markets showed the effect of profit-t Ing this morning and closed points low CT than yesterday. The New York mar ket opened down 10 to IS points possibly in sympathy, but the opening was at the lowest prices of the day. Closed steady and well up around yesterdays closing price. The market has behaved magnificently under the heavy liquidation and some short selling. The bureau es- timate has not settled the question with all, though we believe the majority look with confidence on the report. The differ ence of opinion, which still exists, wiln encourage an active market and all s'@1s point to a continuation of the recel fluctuations with well sustained lset. as the natural competition be spinners should hold prices strong until the balance of the crop is well accounted for. It must be recognized that this is purely a bull market, with everything in tte favor.
