The hearing of the matter, with

day, February u.
As related by the States. the cases
in question present a very fine point
Of law, seemingly, sine" the State
Supreme Court appears to have
been unable to arrive at a determi-
nation as to the difference between
what constitutes wholesale and what
constitutes retail sales of goods or
wares.
According to the facts set forth in
the briefs filed by counsel for the
respective defendants, the trial in
the lower cOurt-thp First Judicial
District Court of the Parish of Cad
do, Hon. +. +. Bell. judge-Was re-
markablr in many respects.
The accused were convicted as
charged. that they "unIawfuIly did
keep grog and tipping shop, and
did retail spurious liquors, tO-wit ::
beer and WhiSkrN, without pre-
ViOuSly obtaining icrnS" from the
polic" jury Of Caddo Parish, or The
municipal authorities of the city of
Shreveport" and were each fined
$50 and sentenced to serve ninety
days on the roads of The parish. and
in default Of payment of the fine to
serve ninety days additional. From
This finding Of the lower court they
took appeal on several bills Of en-
ceptiOn. which were Reserved.
One Of the bills of exception was
that the judge of the lower court
had oNrrrulcd the objections of the
counsel for the defendants and had
admitted hrarSay evidence offered
10 prove the reputation of the
States principal witness for truth
and veracily. though the defendants
had produced witnesses by whose
testimony the prosecutions wit
neSses' reputation for truth and We
racity was made to appear as very
bad.
Another bill of exception was on
the ground that the State had not
proven that the defendants had sold
beer and other intoxicating drinks
in less than wholesale quantities or
had sold such to the States chief
witness as alleged.

CONSOLIDATED EXCHANGE.

When prices broke late in the day bust
ness on the Consolidated Stock Exchange
expanded heavily. Prior 10 the final
downward movement in the market the
best trading for the day had been In
the half hour before dealings began else
where in Wall Street. Following the $3.50
o'clock opening call speculative interest
gradually lessened with decided dulness
in the early afternoon. The closing de-
cline was accompanied by reports that
President-elect Wilson was about TO an
nounce his decision regarding the calling
of an extra session of Congress to reduce
the tariff. During the earlier period OF
dulness, so far as the general list was
concerned, there were several special
movements in the lower priced shares
which attracted attention. They we're ac-
companied by active odd lot commission
house dealings. Such stocks as United
States Rubber. American Locomotive,
American Cotton OIL and American Can
were In demand, but these stocks all sold
OF from their best when the general mar
ket gave way. Exceptional weakness was
displayed 10y Union Bag & Paper. On
the $50 o'clock call majority OF the
overnight price changes represented ad-
vances ranging from Il to % of a point
the maximum gain being in the case Of
Amalgamated Copper, several hundred
shares OF which changed hands at &c.
Sales totalled 1925 shares, with forty
seven stocks represented.

Coal Sparingy

Strict curtailment of orders to deal
ers at all of the big coal pockets in
Essex county and the continued closure
of the pockets of the Delaware, Lack
awanna and Western railroad is the
situation in this city and the suburbs
today, caused by the admitted short
age at the opening of the big coal
strike. Coal dealers throughout the
country declare that In the event of a
sudden cold snap there would not be
sufficient supply to meet the demand.
L. v. Conklin. of the Lehigh Valley
Coal Company, declared that their coal
pockets would not close and that the
demands of the dealers would be met.
WE have quite some coal on hand and
most of the dealers seem to have a
fair supply. As fast as it comes in we
will send it out"
Albert Denithorne, president of the
Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal Com
pany, emphatically stated hat their
pockets would not be closed.
I'VE are taking care of our customers
and all seem to be we'll supplied he
said. I'VE cannot say we are short Of
coal and expect more in tomorrow or
in a few days"
Many of the small dealers have bare
ly enough to meet the demands of their
customers. In some cases the coal is
being taken direct to the consumers
from the pockets.
S. J.. Memory. the line sales agent of
the Lackawanna. stated today that by
closing Of the pockets it will be ascer-
tanned which dealers are short of coal.
and accordingly they will be SUI piled.
The amount of coal is being ascertained
today and a few struggling cars are
en- route. 1t was admitted that there
was far from a big supply of coal on
hand.
In the Oranges three carloads of coal
are expected today, and ii is said that
this is the only shipment expected for
some time. Everywhere dealers are
filing orders for regular customers
only.
There is a wholesale 'lay-off" of EN-
ployees. with no definite promise of re-
employment.
