For a OiSlsHsaTY in Williamsburg

A petition is being circulated in
Williamsburg. asking for the esrab-

qualified voters OF the city.
The petition is being largely sign
co by business men, who are tired
of the depot dispensary" that is
being operated to the derinent of
the business interests. A practical
man argues that as long as liquor
can be shipped into the town in un-
limited quantities. the town had as

as Richmond. Norfolk. Newport
News. and other places. They ar

business. and We shall have fewer
OF the crazy DRINKS" that have
disturbed the peace Of the commu-
nifty lately.
Some Of the best people of this
city have signed the petition. and
whether il results IN the adoption Of
a dispensary bill or not. il shows
the prevailing dissatisfaction with
present conditions.
Since Williamsburg became legal

their business has been destroyed:
that small stores have sprung up at
every depot; that men viii now 60

PRICES RISE IN
STOCK MARKET

Z NEW YORK, March 2.-Prices of
s stocks rose today to the highest
level yet touched on the recovery
from the severe decline which set
: in after the first of the year. An
I obstinate short interest was driven
! to cover and the buying thus ne
5 cessitated was an important factor
in lifting prices.
The movement against the shorts
I showed evidence of organization
and the possession of large re-
sources and also the employment
of the usual methods to push the
price movement. 1t owed its eff
: fectiveness, however. to the small
offerings of stocks for sale, and
this condition. in turn. is due to
the subsistence of apprehension on
various accounts which was the
motive for the selling earlier in
the year.
In United States steel, particu-
larly. there were signs of activity
by an organized speculative party
which gave rise to surmises that
the market pool in that stock had
resumed operations on the long
side Announcement yesterday of
the retirement from the directo-
rate of John D. Rockefeller Jr..
with the accompanying eXplana-
ton that the family holdings of
the stock are not sufficiently large
to justify his giving any time or
attention TO the affairs of the
corporation" was of a kind used
with depressing effect sometimes
when speculation is in q different
mood.
The Improvement reported in the
steel trade is responsible partly
for this better feeling. The steps
taken by the railroad corporations
TO raise new capital with a view
TO going forward with improve
ments and betterments form an
element in this feeling of encour-
agement.
Even the copper trade came in
for a share of this cheerful feeling
today by reason of the reported
decline in the European visible
supply Oh tue Hl6ldl. L lie 0tCISdS6
since February Is was small. but
was the first reported for many
months and had added significance
from the large exports from this
country which have gone into for
eign supplies in the period COW
cred. The price of the metal
advanced strongly in London to-
day and copper securities there.
as well as here. advanced.
Some disappointment was felt
that yesterdays rumors of agree
ment upon a basis for the settle
ment of the Philadelphia carmens
strike were without confirmation.
No effect was caused in the mar
ket, however. Little attention
was paid to any but favorable
news.
Discount rates eased in London,
but hardened in Berlin. Foreign
exchange here rose again and of
ferings of funds to lend on time
diminished, with strengthening ef-
feet on interest rates.
Bonds were irregular. Total
sales, par value. $2,565.O 900.
United States bonds were un-
