LOCAL FINANCIAL GOSSIP.

Business on the Washington Stock Ex-
change was better scattered yesterday
than for several days This was in part
due TO opportunity to MI orders on some
thing besides Washington Gas. and partly
10 what appears to be a change OF front
on the hitherto clamorous buying of Gas
stock Pure manipulation seems to have
been largely abandoned for real trans
actions. The demand for Gas is strong
even at the higher figures. and the brok-
ers begin to feel that present prices are
high enough to bring out the stock. If It
Is 70 be brought out at all. As q con-
sequence, the c0teTie of young brokers
who are after the stock quietly bide
their time for genuine offers Of the shares
and then quickly gather them in, often
on some slight recession from higher
bids.
The railway shares and bonds were
called for yesterday. and some good
trading in the latter was effected The
bank shares also came to the record.
One OF the significant trades Of the day
was an option on 1000 shares of Mitchell
at rs, which is taken as an intima-
ton that brokers do not expect that is
sue TO so higher. at least within sixty
days.

1000 students from the saloons II
Is also said 10 have been adopted
in Indiana in 1855 and pronounced
unconstitutional by the courts.
In his first message Tillman did
not assume to be Prohibitionisl.
but declared that pure liquor, prop.
crly used. was Il good thing. He
recommended the closing OF all the
saloons and the sale in bulk, by
agents of the state of such sup
plies as were demanded.
The law authorized no retail bus
mess but permitted the sale OF
sealed packages containing from
one pint to Ave gallons. which could
not be opened or consumed upon
the premises. The board of com.
missioners had the power to grant
indulgenD:es in special cases for
sale at retail over bars and there
were n number OF such establish.
ments, usually at hotels. This
transferred the liquor trade entirely
from the saloonkeepers to the State;
and agencies were appointed by the
governor in response to petitions
very similar to those usually filed
with applications for licenses to
sell liquor in other places. There
were eight agencies in Charleston
the largest number found in any
city, but in more than half of the
towns of the State there was none
The agents were appointed upon
political influence and received sal.
aries of from $500 to 81 900 year.
AT the outset the law caused a
great deal of disorder. Blind tigers
sprang UP all over the State, to
get the trade of those who OF
jeoted to signing their names TO
applications for liquor at State dis.
pensares. To meet this resistance
Tlllman hid provided force of
constabulary. The constables enter.
ed private houses. searched the
private baggage of travellers ut rail.
road stations and frequently were
involved IN conflicts, some of which
proved fatal Militia companies re.
fused to obey the governors or.
ders to support the constabulary
and were disbanded and replaced
by companies OF his own personal
political following.
This period OF excitement passed
with Tillman's promotion from the
governorship to the United States
Senate. Succeedings governors have
made no such energetic efforts TO
enforce the law rigldly and the
State has got along peacefully
enough. but there always has re.
manned strong opposition to the law,
which has become more pronounced
as the relaxation OF the authorities
has made 1t less effective.
