New York. Aug. 2s.-The aggregate OF

/ A much better feeling pervaded the
/ Washington Stock Exchange yesterday.
/ Fresh support was given 70 Washingt
\ Railway and Electric preferred, and the
/ old supporters Of Washington Gas were
/ again in the saddle, taking all offerings,
/ regardless Of price, Mitchell Mining also

/ Washington Railway and Electric pre-
/ feTTed was easily the leader. On quo
/ tauon lots Of 8 shares each the price
/ advanced from z S-j TO a. two 50-share
and one 1oo-share lots going at the top.
Something Ike the interest Of old cen

Brokers began to buy scraps at 70. and
/ then took on quotation lots at the same
/ price. Once, only, was the price beaten
down. and then only an eighth. After
| call an option on 600 shares was re-
/ corded at 20 Ii, the buyer taking It at
thirty days.
Outside Of these issues there was little

/ the brokers left the exchange in a bet

/ that is loose can DO sent to New York
and command the excessive rates cur

f. W. Crew, Of Henry Clews G Co
THE declaration Of the dividends on
Erie preferred stocks, payable IN ten
year warrants, has created a more favor
able opinion abroad than at home. The
warrants viii probably sell at 30 cents
on the dollar, practically cutting the divi-
dend in two. Local short interests are
still pretty well extended. and IN an
effort TO cover contracts It would not be
surprising to witness q further advance -

to suppose that to-morroW's session viii
be about the same as. to-day's. The

opinion Is almost impossible, but for

There was no suspicion that he was giving
away stolen money: at court the only complaint
entered against him that of disturbing the
peace. There YOU are, In these days II dis
turhs the peace of mind OF lot of theorists To
know that money is changing hands in violation
of the economic law Of Supply and Demand.
They hate 70 see some gilded scion of cattle
ranch plav horse with the teachings of the
college textbooks. The only man who can make
a fool of himself with impunity is the man who
writes on economic theories.
The mas agstrate whose wise ruling overthrows
this tyranny probably moved by profess
sional interests, as well "a by general humane
considerations. He doubtless realized that berch
and bar would soon be covered with a perlna-
ent and thick layer of dust should the present
Impressions continue. II men cannot play the
chump as the spirit moves Them there Will be
nothing left either 10 laugh al or 10 quarrel
over: and as quarrels furnish the chief amuse-
ment for all those citizens who are not stirred
TO mirth by jokes. the civilized world would be-
come one vast stagnant pond too placid for any
Judge or attorney to thrive in. In aVertlng the
fuIfilment of this horrible nightmare the judicial
vindicator of True Liberty has earned praise
regardless of his motives though. True Liberty
will continue to live: and men may forever more
fool and be fooled until the deodorized eggs IN the
