SALOONKEEPERS
CLASSIFIED

The Vine and Spirit Gasetfc, N ain
editorial i'll which it exhorts the ''reptNa-
ble' liquor men of the country to stand
by their rights and assume a becoming
dignity, says:
1t seems to be difficult for the gen
eral public, and even for many men in
the licensed liquor trade to dis
crlmlnate between the legitimate and
the Legitimate the good and the bad
III the trade.
They do not class the shyster lawyer
with the honorable attorney, nor the
qualified physician with the quack and
the nostrum vender; they realize that
there is a difference in merchants en-
gagged in general merchandising, and
that there are just and unjust employ
ers; but when it comes to the liquor
trade, the educated, college-bred brewer
is classed with the lowest doggery
keeper, and the man of highest com
mercial standing and truest personal
honor with the purveyor to buns and
prostitutes.
Why this apparent injustice?
The Gazette can be assured that there
is no injustice, either real or apparent,
in the classification that the public is
making of liquor sellers. Liquor sellers,
like other men engaged in some pursuit
lnlmcal to public welfare, cannot be
classified by the accidents and Incl
dents of personal appearance, individual
ldiosyncrasies, education or habits. One
h1ghwayman appears in cowhide boots,
with tobacco juice running down his
shirt front, and frightens his victims into
commissions by torrents of profanity. An
other is faultlessly dressed, with the
manners of a Chesterfield. But the law
and the public mind classify them. IL
gether as highwaymen, outlaws, because
they stand together, Judged by the es-
sential test Of what they do This illus
tration may help the Gazette to under

THE CURB MARKET.

There was very narrow and dun market
for curb securities last week, the volume OF
business suffering a further sharp falling

In several quarters OF the market, particu-
larly in the mining issues, but the selling
was not heavy. Values, however, sank
steadily from day to day with but little reac-

Liverpool Weak-GenerAI Selling.

Wheat closed lower owing principally to
bearish weekly statistics and disappointing
Liverpool advices. Bulls could make no
headway against worlds shipments for the
week OF ~. .7sI. 900 bush. against 9.s32 900 last
week and O.Ol7.OOO last year. BrOomhall
estimated the shipments at II. 600. 900 bush.
against n ,Sl2 900 last week and 10, ,52s. 900
last year. The amount on passage increased
A.S2O.OOO bush. bringing the total up to a.
100000. against 81 10000 at this time last
year. To cap the climax Liverpool, despite
the advance here on Friday. fell equal TO
3 to Nc. and Paris No.. while Berlin showed
no change. All this led to general selling for
both sides Of the account. under which prices
crumbled.
At one time something Of q rally occurred
on bull support and covering Of shorts. but
bullish support was Of little avail.
Il was useless to talk about a big domestic
consumption. about Canadian buying OF
American wheat for seeding purposes. about
Russian buying Of durum wheat. about small
stocks at the Northwest and a sharp diminu-
ton In the movement in that section In the
near future. about a rise Of equal to 5-I8o.
at Budapest and Of 5-l8 to &c. at Antwerp,
about the danger OF OvercrOwding the short
side. In short it was Of no use to talk about
anything bullish. The dominant factor was
the big worlds shipments. ~aaa
Bulls contend that the domestic consump-
ti0n Is enormous and that the recent decline
more than discounted the bearish features
OF the situation. Bears point to the absence
OF a brisk foreign demand for our wheat
and say that with Argentina pouring wheat
into the markets of Europe no permanent
advance is to be expected.

strongest month and pulled the list after IL.
At first all months we're lower. but manipn-

Rightly or wrongly the idea was that Messrs.

posed TO be bearish on the situation. includ-
ing some leading commission houses and spot
people.
The news, what there was Of II. cut both
ways. The decrease for the week in the
visible supply was greater than that for the
same week last year, but at the same time the
spinners taklngs were smaller than then and,
besides nobody paid much attention to sta
tistics Spot markets were hrm but stocks
were lower. The New Orleans estimated
receipts for tomorrow are large but those
for Houston and Galveston are small. II
some leading people are bearish. others no less
prominent are considered bulls and are said
to be aiming at a May corner. But as for
