The New. York Mercantile Exchange
has decided to, abolish the committee
on quotations. The action was taken
as the result of criticisms 10y the White
investigating committee, which recon-
mended repeal of the Metal Exchange
and Mercantile Exchange charters, on
the ground that they published ficti-
tious quotations. The Metal Exchange
now quotes only bona fde transactions.
Wise brokers and old-time traders
say that there is just as much posi-
bility nowadays of an old-time hurran
market as there was years ago, and the
optimists assert that the present bull
market will not eliminate until there
has been a clear demonstration of the
ability of the public to come in and
control. for a time, at least, specula-
tion.
.SDeculative sentiment is very uncer-
tain at the moment, at least SO far as
the general Il of traders is concerned,
and possibly many professionals might
be included in this analysis of the
situation.
The immediate effect on the stock
market of E. II. Harriman's departure
for home ahead of the time originally
planned will probably be bullish, but
the conservative faction of the Street
is likely to. receive the news of his sail
ing with more or less misgiving.

Another Attack on Car.

fourth attack was made on the last car on the North Bessemer line going to Birmingham. A large stone was strown through the car as it passed Martin sta ton, narrowly missing the motorman. The car was stopped and 15 shots were fired at the party who threw the stone. It is not known whether he was wounded or not. The car was then run back to Bessemer and the dogs were secured with Officer Childers and Deputy R. T. Jones. The dogs easily picked up the trail and had run about 200 yards when the lead dog mysteriously disappeared, and the of ficers were in some perplexity as to what had become of him. After waiting for some time the two men went forward and came to an old we'll which was about 16 feet deep. Into this the dog had fallen and MT Childers was stopped just in time to avert an ugly fall
 When a lantern and ladder had been secured from a nearby house the dog was taken out but refused to resume the trail the other dog doing likewise. The deputies were baffled for the time but expect to have something in the near fu- ture. It is the opinion of the local of ficers that all the attempts have been made by the same person with the in tent to kill or injure some passenger possibly the street car men. This is the fourth attempt within two months and the street car men are very much fn- censed and nervous.

sh6otina In Now Orleans.

New Orleans, September 13.-In- tense excitement was created in Camp street, one of the busiest thorough fares of the city. late today when Rob- ert E Lee, president of the local ma chinists' union and former president of the Central Trades and Labor Council, fired two shots at John N. Breen, sec retary of the Typographical union. Both shots went wild. Lee claims that he was assaulted by Breen before he drew his revolver. The trouble be- tween the two men 10 said to have arisen over a light between them for the control of the Trades and Labor Council. The Breen faction won. Lee was soon afterward expelled from the organization.
