Decision Of Supreme Court in Mime.
sofa Rate Case.
Washington, March 24.-In refusing
to grant to Attorney General Young
Of Minnesota writ of habeas corpus
releasing him from the penalty i'm
posed by the United States circuit
court for the district of Minnesota on
the charge Of contempt of court in in
shutting a proceeding in state
court for the enforcement Of
the railroad rate law after
the federal court had prohibited
such course and, in affirming the de-
cisfon Of Judge Pritchard of the Unit:
Cd States circuit court for the West
ern district of North Carolina dis.
charging from Imprisonment James H.
Wood. q ticket agent of the Southern
railway at Ashevills. after he had been
sentenced by the Asheville police
court to serve term on the rock pile
On the charge Of collecting for a ticket
on that road a greater price than was
permitted by the state railroad law
the supreme court of the United
States added another to the series OF
decisions which have rendered notable
the present term of that court.
In both cases tho right Of the states
to fix rates for railroad transportation
was the issue and both involved con
dfcts between the federal and the
state courts.
The court pronounced invalid the
Minnesota law regulating both freight
and passenger rates. The opinion
held the Minnesota law to be uncon
stitutional on its face because Of thu
enormous penalties imposed for dis
obedience to it.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

Without any material increase in the
amount of business done as compared
with recent days. il was evident from
the course of things at todays meeting
of the Stock Exchange that the demand
for securities on the list was better. This
was brought out in part by the number
of bidders. and ii WIS evident that there
is an increase in the orders and in the
ranks Of possible buyers.
The change in the condition of the
local stock market reflects in similar de-
gree what is going on in the wider mar
ket and the latter is looked upon as a re-
fieX of the improvement in business
throughout the country, or at least in
the sentiment on the subject which is
reported to be much more optimistic than
has lately been the case.
The way people feel on such subject
is an important element of market
of any kind. and where there are appre-
hension and distruSt. however intan-
gible the influence is soon seen in de-
clninS prices and u ShrlnkaSe In bust
ness. The situation here Is A good eX-
ample of the power of OplulOn, Tor
while there has been no actual reason
for a change in regard to the standing
of the securities on the local stock list,
owing to the difference in conditions
here which obtained all during the late
in this city yet many of the symptoms
that were characteristic of the market
elsewhere appeared here also.
1t is quite evident that recovery is IN
progress from even this sympathetic m
nuence. and that investors are turning
their attention to the opportunities o1ered
by local securities. This is welcome
change to the brokers and others who are
activity interested in the market, ana IL Is
anticipated the movement thus started
will continue to BROADEN until normal
state OF affairs is restored.
The result of the call today did not
amount to much as far the amount OF
business done is concerned, hut, generally
speaking, the higher levels reached lately
