Appeals to-day affirmed the decisions
of the courts below, dismissing the
complaint in the celebrated case of
Judge James N. Veazey against the
brokerage firm Of Henry Allen Co. of
New York city, which grew out of the
Investigations of the Distilling and
Cattle Feeding Company and the
American Sugar Refining Company
commonly termed the whisky apd SUI
gar trusts. by congressional commit
tee in 1893. gss&
VeaZey sued to recover one-half of
the profits made by the stock broker
age company, which, he alleged,
amounted to $500, 0O0 in consequence of
the decline in the price of the stocks
of these two corporations by reason of
the congressional investigation. Yea
zey, had, according to the evil
dence, entered into a contract with AL
len & Co. to bring about the investi-
cation for the purpose of depreciating
the stocks of the corporations. The
evidence shows that Veazey and Wal
ton, his son-in-law, received $16,937 as
one-half the profit on stocks sold.
He was non-suited on the ground
that the contract made was contrary
to public policy. The Court of APP
peals sustains that decision, and Judge
Werner in a lengthy opinion, says:
1.-THE investigation was intended to,
and did, impair the reputation of the
whisky trust. and resulted in a SUBJ
stantial decline in the market price of
its stocks. That was the end aimed
at in said contract. That such a con-
tract is one which in its object, oper-
alton and tendency is calculated to be
preJudicial to public welfare, ought
not to be doubted for a moment"

organizing board of trade, that would
at once look after alleged discrimina-
ton in freight rates. A prominent lum-
Der manufacturer, and heavy shipper,
assured your correspondent that two
milling stations on the A. and B. Rail-
road were favored by two cents on the
100 pounds. against Douglas, which
means 81 a thousand on lumber, or for
mill cutting $4,000 feet daily, shipping
from Douglas, $50 per day excess
freight on same amount shipped, from
the other places, which of itself, will
deter manufacturing plants of any
magnitude putting down at Douglas.

val Stores Company of New Orleans.
