Many Offenders.
Yesterday was busy day with the
city recorder, large number of cases
appearing on the police blotter. None
or these amounted to much, most OF
them being such charges as drunk,
drunk and isordcrly and minor Of

the defendants were charged with dis
orderly conduct. having become in
censed with one another and having
engaged in bodily combat. Police
court lasted for some time and the

The Rate Decision.

The SUSPENSION by the Interstate Com

meant That more time was CONSIDERED

the situation is unchanged. TINS acuon

Der. when the commission formally SET

Inyton dispatches carried the same infer

expressed its disappointment" much In
the manner that II did yesterday. That
speculative sentiment should suher some
reaction after the overenthusiastic view
OF the case taken some time ago Is nat
ural enough. But just now II seems TO
be going to the other extreme. The es-
sential feature is that the principle or
tho granting OF higher rates when de-
served should be established. So FAR the
railroads have seen rates go only one
way. The establl shment OF n precedent az
this kind will be OF greater moment than
tho immediate financial return. wall
street seems also to have come to the
conclusion that the decision in the tap
lines cases is an unfavorable develop

all possible economies. II must DO re-
mcmbered that the roads themselves

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET


The feature OF the stock market yes
terday was the alacrity with which epecu-
lators Jumped to sell stocks for both ac-
counts on the supposed bad news con-
tained In the action OF the Interstate COM
merce Commission In suspending the
higher rates asked for by the Eastern
roads over another period Of six months.
This instantaneous acceptance Of the ihea
that the market ought to be sold pre-
scented an interesting sidellght on the pre-
vailing state Of sentiment In speculative
quarters. There has been lot Of talk
