DECISION FAvoRs STEAMSHIP LINE.
Need Pay Only 0ne-half of finland Trans
portation" of Deported Alien.

Judge Holt in the United States District Court.
yesterday handed down an opinion in which he
construed for the first time the federal enact
ment holding a steamship company responsible
for one-half Of the expense of inland transpor.
tation" incurred by the government when re-
turning for deportation an alien found to be a
public charge within a year of landing in the
country. The defendant was the Hamburg
American Line
Under the law requiring the steamship com
pany to pay half of the inland expense. the gov
ernment asked the steamship company to pay
its half of bill amounting to $50 10 which in
cluded the carfare and expenses of an alien
ordered deported, and the immigration officer
who brought him from Syracuse The steamship
company refused to pay. and the government
brought suit TO recover half of the $50 90 and to
establish legal precedent
Judge Holt, however. decided that the term
finland transportation" included only the ex-
penses of the alien and not the accompanying
official. and allowed only the aliens railway
fare, carfare and ferriage, amounting to SIS "a.
He therefore awarded Judgment against the
company for 81 II. AS a majority Of aliens de-
ported are brought from distant states the rul-
ing is one Of considerable Importance to. the
steamship companies, and means a saving to
them Of many thousands in the course of year.

LISTINGS FALL OFF.
Decrease Ascrbed to Great Acti0ity
of General Business.

The listings on the New York Stock Exchange
for the first six months of 1906. compiled by THE
Financial Chronicle" show decided falling off as
vious periods. The decrease is ascribed to the ex-
traordinary activity of general business in the
United States. the perturbed state of the foreign
money markets and the calamity at San Francisco.
The total lstings of bonds in the half year repre-
senting new enterprises have been $452015,O00. De
Quoting as unusual items the $3O0OOOG0 of Japanese
bonds and the S2O,OO0OOO of New York City per
cents. there remains as representing other bond
issues for new capital. etc. only $132OO0O0 and of
this total about S79OO0OOO contributed by eight
railways and one industrial company.
The corresponding total for the first half OF 1905
was $342G0000O. including $160OOOOOO government
issues Of Japan Cuba and Mexico and city
of New York bonds, while for the first half
Of 1904 the aggregate. with DEDUCTIONS.
was Sl9sOO00OO The total amount ( bonds
Of all classes added 70 the list during the half year
was S65loOOOoO including the S3O0,OooO0o japanese
bonds and the S2OOOOoOO New York City As; in 1905
the total was $542Oo0,O00.
The stocks listed representa- new capital
amounted to $s9O65S0O compared with s66,79i2OO in
the first half Of the previous year, but in this case,
too the bulk OF the new issues came from few
coupanies the Great Northern, New York Central,
Chicago &. Northwestern and Chicago Great West
ern making up $4,000 600 out of total of $4,000 0
The total amount of stock of all classes added TO
the list was S40 000 but in this the aggre
gale was sWeed by the shares Of the Interborough-
and the bethlehem Steel reorganization amounting
TO nearly 30,0O0.000.

TO GET LONDON GOLD.
Scarcity of Money Gradually Be
coming Felt Here.

With foreign exchange rates down to the gold
import level the Hanover National Bank arranged
on Friday to bring in about $4,000 Of the metal
from London although the gold import faclta-
ton order of the Secretary OF the Treasury
longer in force. There is a scarcity of gold I'm the
London market. but about $5.OOOO0O is expected to
arrive in London tomorrow from South Africa.
The National City Bank. it was reported yesterday
on credible authority has been negotiating for
100000 of this sum, but is anxious to the
expense represented by interest transit. and is
urging Secretary Shaw to make again operative his
April circular. under which the national banks
imported about $5OOOO0OO gold. That circular per
miJted banks desirous of bringing gold to de-
post with the Sub Treasury bonds collateral for
advances thereupon made the institutions by the
Treasury Department, such advances to be
paid upon the arrival here OF the successive con-
signments OF gold arranged to be imported.
This arrangement. devised a means Of IA
cilitating the bringing of gold to this centre in
times of money market emergency. was suspended
by the Secretary several weeks ago with the pass
ing Of the stringency following the San Francisco
calamity. Money IS now gradually hardening here
The approach of the crop moving demand and the
repayment this month to the Treasury. ordered
only day or two ago. of the $10OO0000 Of special
deposits lodged with the depositary banks will be
felt in the money market. In view of the extensive
market however. and the fact that gold already
be prof1tably imported. IL is believed in Wall
Street that Secretary Shaw will not accede to the
request of the National City Bank for the
loss of interest i ntranst on gold which may be
engaged by them.

President Coler and James H. Dunno superin-
tendent Of sewers in Brooklyn will probably have
20 pay out of their pockets the salaries Of
several hundred whom they employed under
the title Of sewer cleaners. and whose claims for
services aggregate 81 700. The Finance Department
has refused to pass the payrolls and this refusal
Is backed up by opinion from the Corporation
Counsel.
Several months ago i. L. Carey, who had the
contract for the construction of a sewer in S7th
street BROOKLYN did not live up to the speciica-
tions OF the contract. and when President Coler
and his inspectors objected. he abandoned the work
and left the sewer unfinished. Mr.. Coler then
ordered that the contract should be comple Ted by
day labor and the cost charged against Carey
Superintendent Dunno Immediately put several
hundred men to work under the title Of sewer
cleaners Their bills for services sent to the
Finance Department for payment. The proceeding
was so Irregular that the department refused 10
pass them.
