large delegation of whisky dealers from
Baltimore and Boston that unless the
Attorney Generals recent decision on the
labelling of their product is reversed the
business OF masIy prosperous firms will

The orders of the Department Of Ag-
riculture which compel them to place
the word compound on certain mix
lures that have always been heretofore
called whisky is what the liquor men
chiefly deplOre and which thew hone to
have cOuntermanded. When theE left
the White House they said the Presi-

COTTON MARKET STEADIED
AFTER THE OPENING

NEW YORK, May A-The cotton mar
ket at the outset this morning was some
what irregular. first prices being one
point lower TO points higher. The near
positions were lower and the more re-
mote delivery higher. The former fact
was partly accounted for by Gnsatisfac-
tory cables from Liverpool, while low
temperatures in the crop belt explained
the upward movement of the later
months. The general market steadied
after the opening.

Out Of thirty-seven transactions on the
Washington stock Exchange today
twenty-seven of them were in the bonds
of the two local railroad systems The
balance of the dealing was Of a frag-
mentary character and DEVELOPED no
feature OF noteworthy interest. AS on
yesterday, the excitement largely CEN
tered around the new issue of the Capt.
tai Traction Company, and while the
amount dealt in was only about one
quarter qua as great, the price showed
tne same strong support and the will
lngness to take almost unlimited guam
titles around ruling quotations.
FOR the first time IN several weeks
there was quite a large number OF 4
per cent bonds brought to the market.
ana While the price at which they sold
was the same as the company will re-
deem them at viz. 105. it was believed
that sellers were willing to pay a COM
mission in order to promptly change
them into the new bonds before they
reach the higher prices generously pre-
dicted.
Not TO be outdone in enthusiasm, the
bonds Of the Washington Railway Conf
pany were also most vigorously de-
manded at so, and as the supply at that
price seems 10 have been exhausted buy
ers had to pay a small fraction better
TO MI their orders.
In the stock list some slight activity
IN Greene Cananea and a disposition
also TO run 10 cover on Gas stocks were
the only Items that attracted attention
The pool buying on this latter security
appears to have been Withdrawn as the
amount Of stock Offering at the high
prices established prove TOO auuring 10
holoers who we're disposed TO let go.
