GIRLS VISIT SALOON;
MAYOR CLOSES PLACE

B. W. Roberts, liquor dealer at 761
Washington avenue N, is in trouble
over the visit of two girls to his place
yesterday. The saloon has been tempo
rarily closed while Mayor Jones is MAX
ing an investigation wit hthe view to
revoking the Ecese. r.. T..
Yesterday afternoon some employees
Of the Deere & Weber company saw a
man accompanied by two girls. AS the
latter had the appearance Of being
young and respectable the police were
notified and when Sergeant Martin
Ginsberg arrived at the saloon shortly
afterward he found the girls drinking
beer with their companion and the bar
tender. The girls were taken to the
mayors office and after a hearing
Mayor Jones ordered the saloon closed
pending an investigation.
The girls, are 16 and Is years old,
and come from respectable families
living on the north side. The man.
whose name is Clay, was a chance &C.
quaintance whom they had met short
time before. They testified that they
had been served beer and pop by the
bartender, Charts Adams.
Mr.. Roberts is disturbed, as he fears
that he will lose his license. He was
away ysaterday and disayoWs all re-
in his place. Should it be found that
it is his first offense of this character
it is possible that he will be prosecuted
under the wine room ordinance instead
Of being deprived Of his license.

Chicago, June 13-Whether the prac-
tice of absorbing elevator charges at
the Missouri river on shipments Of
grain is legal, is a question that occu-
pied the attention Of the executive Of
fcials of western roads at meeting
held here yesterday. After much dis
cussion, it was decided to refer the
problem to the legal departments Of the
various roads and their decisions will
direct the ultimate action. H
In addition to considering the legal
ity of the practice of absorbing the
elevator charges, the proposal to renew
the gulf differential agreement on ex-
port grain, which expires June 30, was
considered by the western lines. No OBJ
lection was raised to the agreement and
it is likely that it will be renewed

Question of Law.
The question Of the legality of alb
sorbing the elevator charges was
brought up by the accusation that some
shipments of grain do not pass thru the
elevators at the Missouri river, but that
the allowance for elevation is frequent
ly made, which really operates as re-
bate. No particular road was named as
being guilty of this practice, but the

souri, grain has long been an annoying
element in the grain traffic and the
| roads have striven hard to have it
abandoned. In this they have been
| blocked by contract between the
Union Pacific and one of the elevator
companies, which provides that the ele-
vator company shall transfer all grain
| shipped by the Union Pacific into
Omaha, and for this service shall re-
ceive ~ cents a hundred pounds.
Like a Rebate.
! AS this charge is similar to a switch
ing charge, it has always been consid-
cred part of the expense incident to
the transmission Of the grain and has
been paid out of the regular freight
rates. But now the question is raised
that the elevator com panies, not being
common carriers, are not entitled to this
money when it comes from the freight
| rate. The contention is that where the
grain passes thru the elevators, the
charge should be made outside Of the
freight rate, SO as not to conflict with
grain shipped thru without being han

Last year quantities of grain went
by. way Of the gulf, and some of the
Chicago lines believed that the differen-
tial should be increased. Others were
satisfied with the conditions, and the
agreement will probably be reaffirmed

Gilbert & cIay,s Market Letter.

The opening of Liverpool this morning was irregular, due, no doubt, to some heavy short covering in anticipation Of a better tone that the American rings were due to reflect. Options showed an advance of 10 to IA points on the opening when only due one-half of that amount, but later eased off somewhat and closed about points over yesterday. Spot sales 12000 bales continue large at a good ad- vance. Manchester reported price or cloths had stiffened ul and that there was an Increased demand for yarns.
 American markets were steady though quiet, around opening, the prices showing a healthy advance over yesterdays close, but later the market became nervously affected in anticipation of the figures that were issued by the government showing the amount of cotton to be ginned from the 16th of January 250 S44 bales. After the report there was q slight advance, but shortly after a rumor having been spread about that only l4,5OO gins had been heard from, caused weakening tendency and prices eased off in consequence. The ru- mor, even If true, was subsequently, con- strued not in the light of anything un- favorable, for II was afterwards learned that out of a total of about 2S,0O0 gins there were ionly some 16,0OO that were in districts where any cotton remained to be glnned, thus leaving 1900 gins not re- porting.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1906-02-03

this purpose is involved, although the president of the Great Northern is pub licly reported as denying 1t and asserting a movement in Great Northern has a natural effect on Union Pacific, owing to the large holdings of that stock which accrue to the Union Pacific treasury from the Northern Securities settlement. The southern iron group also had revival toward merger stories, There advices seemed to be regarded with some dis trust and other stocks were sold. Reading was affected by the seeming deadlock in the efforts at a settlement of the wage dispute between the coal miners and operators. The bank statement outlook probably had some depressing effect on the general market. The absorption of funds by the ub-treasury this week has already reached the sum of Ss. GAS 900. While this loss will be offset by a gain on balance from the interior estimated at over $3,000,0O0, tl~ movement from the interior is less pronounced than that of last week. The tone of the call money market held quite firm, but this was sup posed to be due to the passing effect of the first of the months requirements. With the indicated loss in cash. however, and the possibility of a considerable fur ther loan expansion, the outlook is for a poor bank statement tomorrow. Rates for foreign exchange were maintained and 1t is still. considered probable that gold will go out. A further rise in sterling ex- change at par has lessened the margin of profit on gold export, but conditions were favorable for an outgo to South America. The high interest rates prevail ing in the first week of January served to make the average interest charges higher for the month in carrying stocks. and statements of January accounts to oper- ators in stocks which went out yesterday probably had some effect in checking speculative enthusiasm. The weeks enor- nous corn exports which reached the record figure of s,2s9,S59 bushels. indicated the sources of the free supply in the foreign exchange market. The general list made some recovery from the declines and the closing tone remained irregular.
