New York Stock exchange. Consider
 which New York Stock Exchange
 represents. it is narrower in its arbitrary rules than any other stock
 exchange in the world and resorts
 to more petty grating thsH an, respectable institution of a similar
 nature in any other city would dare
 Co indulge in One of the most out rageous of the arbitrary rules of the
 Kew York Stock Exchange prohibits the listing of any bonds or other securities not printed by the Amer
 ican Bank Note company Under
 this rule the American Bank Note company enjoys the practical monop oily of printing bonds and certificates for all corporations which desire
 their securities to be listed on the
 New York Stock Exchange. Securi-
 ties that are not so listed are ex- ciuded from Legitimate" trading on practically all exchanges in the eoun- try. which closely follow the rulings of the New York body. It is not surprising that the American Bank
 Note company, having the monopoly
 of printing bonds and certificates. extorts absurdly high prices for its
 work. part of the graft going as com
 mission to the managers of the
 stock exchange. When the city re gently advertised for bids for print
 ing the certificates for the con templated $60.00o.000 bond issue
 several concerns responded. The New
 York Bank Note company offered to do the printing according to speci-
 ications for s44,5OO. while the Amer ican Bank Note company asked S62.-
 n-5 for the same work. Notwithstand
 ing .he threat of the Stock Exchange
 to refuse the listing of the new city 1 bonds. the Board of City Record awarded the contract for the print ing of the certificates to the New York Bank Note company.
 Eggs have dropped out of the
 class Of luxuries in this city They
 are no longer handled on Maiden Lane. together with diamonds. rubies. tpearls etc. only within reach Of itha aiIiionaires Tn fact, so cheap
 have they become, that even the lcommon herd can afford 70 indulge lin them and revel in omeie;s ana cakes which desive their golden vel low color from the genuine hen fruit and no; from an artistic toueh of some innocuous dyestuff Not TOT fortv-one years have eggs been so lchean in New York at this time CT
 the year and there is reason to be lieye that the lowest mark has not vet been reached. This astonishing state of affairs is attributed partly Ito the energetic warfare against the egg-trust and partly to the unpre, cedented activity of the hens m all I parts of the country.
 Among New Yorks magistrates ithere are some decidedly queer spec I imens. Every now and then one
 of them will gain notoriety by some eccentric ruling, while another one
 win make himself ridicriou by some asinine decision. A few days lago one Of these proved unfit for the
 position occupied by him. Some re-
 spectable citizen was accosted by Il two begsars who worked together land when he refused to give them
 money, they followed him Tor some I distance threatening him and insui,' , ing him in the most outrageous man lper When the citizen met a DO liceman. he had the two beggars ar
 rested. When the prisoners were
 brought before the magistrate ih uesfiop. the citizen made his state
 ment supported by the statement oi the police officer. But the magistrate sided with the beggars, berate1 the
 citizer for having caused the ares of the TWO unfortunates instead 0I [ having aided them. The magistrate worked himself .p to high pitcn 2 of indignation and concluded his SC D vera criticism of the ~heartless per - secutor of the poor" by dischargina 2 the orisoners. although they hac previously pleaded guilty to tho
 charge of begging It is scarcely necessary to remark that the distric'
 in which that magistrate hoid'
 coprt is infested with panhandiers o'
 every description, many Of men -l -lnotorious crooks.
