NEW YORK. July IA purely
perfunctory market today received the
etimulus of better prices at LONDON
and the Continental markets, with the
result that a moderate degree Of add
ed frmness showed In the general
price list over the day before. The
intensity OF dullness was perhaps not
SO great as on Friday. There was no
evidence during the session however
that any new interest Of vital nature
has entered the market.
Abroad the advance naturally arose
out OF Balkan discussions, in the he
lief that peace Ia assured among the
ouarreiing States Canadian Pacific

OF Is points was the chief feature
of the interest.
Bank Showing Favorable.
The bank statement, despite the
large Increase of over $40, 0o0,o00 in
loans in the actual figures, was by no
means unencouraging. In the hrst
place the statement showed an in
crease in cash OF nearly 100000 600
against a forecast of a large loss. In
view OF the gold exports. the shipment
of cash TO Pittahurg, and the in
crease in loans, due to the bank fail
ure, likewise the pre-seasonaI cash
shipments tn the interior, the showing
Of the banks is favorable on the whole.
In view of the nature and variety

The feeling that there Is good pros
pect for Increasing favorable develop
meuts in the crops over the figures
reported by the government during
the remainder OF the growing season
has increased with the canvasses of
crop conditions privately made. The
United States Mortgage and Trust
company, in its annual canvass of
countrywide crop conditions Just pub
lished, concludes from the reports of
it's representatives In forty-two cities
and twenty States that. despite GER
tain unfavorabIe features, the outlook
on the whole is encouraging. In the
Southeast, the northerly States report
conditions generally satisfactory, and
the far Southern States likewise with
the exception that cotton ia about
two weeks late, and rain Is much
needed. Excellent reports come from
the Southwest, though here, too, rain
Ia needed. Banner crops are pre-
dicted from tho Pacific Northwest,
and better than average crops are
looked for from the intermountain
States, except in Colorado. where at
least average conditions prevail. Prob
ably the drought has most affected
the westerly end OF the Northwestern
big crop belt.

TOBACCO SALES GOOD.
Success Of Mayesville as Tobacco Mar
ket Seems Assured.

Mayesville, July 10.-The Mayes-
Vile warehouse for the sale of leaf
tobacco opened under most satisfac-
tory circumstances today. While the
crop Is late this season and not a
great quantity has been cured and
ready for market. yet the sales this
morning exceeded the expectations
OF the managers by several thousand
pounds. The grades of this first to-
bacco were not of the best but there
was quite a lot Of good tobacco on
the floor. The price, paid were bet
ter than expected IN nearly every in
stance and the planters we're all we'll
pleased with their sales The man
ayers, Messrs. Motley and McElveen,
are very much elated over the OPEN
ing sale as they did not expect
great Quantity Of the leaf owing TO
the late season. 1t Is safe to say that
the Mayesville market had as good a
sale as any In the number of markets
that opened today. When 1t is con-
sldered that the local warehouse has
been closed for several years. the
new managers deserve credit for the
good advertising they have done for
the market and the town. Sales will
be held from now on every day except
Saturdays.

DEFER ANSWER TO NOTE.
Bryan Announces That He May Post
pone Dispatch OF Reply to Latest
MisSiyeS.

Washington, July 10.-After a con-
ference of an hour and a quarter with
Ambassador Chinda, Secretary Bryan
today announced that the dispatch of
the reply to the two latest Japanese
notes on the California anti-alien law
might be deferred untii next week,
Mr.. Bryan before the conference had
said he had expected to make the
reply before the end Of this week No
reason for the change was given.
Mr.. Bryan told inquirers that the
points of his reply were discussed with
Ambassador Chinda but he declined
to make public any part of the details
under consideration. '.-
The fact that Mr.. Bryan proposes to
postpone the dispatch of his reply
gave rise to the conclusion in diplo-
matte circles that he will redraft the
note. which it was supposed was in
readiness for transmission to the
Tokyo government. Mr. Bryan, how
ever, said no point was raised in his
with the ambassador which
would necessitate Viscount Chinda's
communicating with his government
before the delivery of the American
reply.

NAY CONVICT ON ORDINANCES.
supreme Court Returned Decision I'm
Sumter Case to Effect That Re-
corder May Try Only Cases Where
Ordinances Apply.

Columbia, July 12.-The Supreme
court today handed down a decision
TO the effect that recorders and ma
yors of cities and towns OF this State
only have jurisdiction to try and con-
vict for offenses contrary to the or
dinances and not for criminal offenses.
Ihe opinion written by Associate
Justice K. G. Watts affirmed a decis-
ion by Justice Fraser of Sumter.
John Keels was tried by the Re.
corder of the city Of Sumter and con-
victed on six charges of petit larceny.
He was sentenced to pay fine of
500 or serve thirty days on the
chain gang, for each offense. Justice
Fraser released Keels on a writ of
habeas corpus. The city of Sumter
appealed the case to the Supreme
Court.
In his opinion Judge Watts says:
Did Justice Fraser err in holding
that the recorder was without power
or authority to try or convict the de-
fendant for a criminal offense, but
only had jurisdiction to try and con-
vict for an offense contrary TO the
ordinances of the city of Sumter"
In rendering his opinion, affirming
Justice Fraser's decision, Judge
Watts says the case of the CITY of
Anderson VS.. Seligman, S5 S. c., page
16, covers the case in question, and
he quotes from a decision by Justice
(now Chief Justice) Gary, as follows:
When Section 2,O03, of the Code of
Laws, conferred upon the mayors
the powers and authority of magis-
trates in criminal cases within the
corporate limits and police jurisdic-
ton Of heir respective cities, it was
merely intended to give to the may
ors the same power to try persons
charged with the violation of an or
dinance, that a magistrate had to try
a person charged with the violation
of a statute, or other law of the
state. in cases when the punishment
did not exceed thirty days imprison-
ment or fine of 500. A violation of
an ordinance and the violation of a
State statute are two separate and
distinct offcnses."
