larger than had been expected. The
decision to make the denomination "A

oped in the older New York bond is
sues was evidence of some strain in

new issue.

The closing of the Carnegie Trust Co.

conviction that a weak point i'll the fl

with advantage.
Extraordinary cotton exports carried
the value of agricultural outgo far

of moderate declines in value Of other

None Against SuIiivan-23 Liquor
Cases-Grand Jury's Views.

! Portland, Me, Jan. 15.--The grand
judy of the superior court Saturday re-
ported no indictment against John w.
| Sullivan, who was alleged by Ex-Dep-
uty Emerson II. Doughty, to have first
struck him when he was beaten by Il
mob on Center street when trying to
| make a seizure.
There Was a sensational incident at
the morning session immediately after
the finding of the grand jury, when it
became known that the grand jury had
recommended him to mol pros all the
indictments found by them for single
sales where the evidence was the un
supported testimony of single wit
ness. Very many appealed cases We're
considered by the jurors in which the
deputies of the State Enforcement
League were the complainants and in
some instances months passed after
the alleged buying of liquor at a store
and the making of 4 complaint. 1t is
understood that the description given
| of the persons alleged to have sold
the liquor was generally vague.
Judge Turner said that the Jurors
were within their rights in making
the recommendation Mr.. Connolly did
not at once act on the advice given
by the grand jury, but it is understood
that he will do so later in the term.
The following indictments We're made
public: Semblice D'Andrea, murder;
Harvey +. Ames, blackmail; Benjamin
+. NJ. Bradbury, Lewis Greene and
Harry Ingersoll. gambling nuisance;
Marion Gilmore. Rosie Elsenberg. Ellen
Perry, Carrie Wright and Blanche
