The market's position up to noon appeared to he fairly strong, but no long initiative was displayed, and inability of bull traders to attract a fol lowing had resulted in active selling by room traders.

Stock Exchange Pro poses to Bind Western Union in New Contract to Be Signed New York —Authenticated reports that so-called bucket shops had resumed op erations in northern New York and some of the New England states caused con siderable agitation today In stock ex change circles, particularly in view' of the fact that a new contract is soon to be signed between the exchange and the Western Union Telegraph Company for distribution of stock quotations. The Western Union has had the right of the sale of quotations to out siders for many years, paying the ex change 1100,000 annually for the conces sion. The exchange purposes in its new con tract to bind ttie Western Union not to sell its quotations to any individual, firm or corporation until the exchange has approved tlie application. The tel egraph company has expressed its will ingness to comply with this stipulation which, in the judgment of the exchange officials, would effectually stop all stock quotation operations of an illicit char acter and speedily drive existing offend ers out of business. The old qout&tion contract between the stock exchange and Western Union expired over five years ago, since which time it has been conducted on a day to day basis.

It is iinu which ought to be served in a silver dish and embel lished around with i arsley and muy onnalse. But yesterday’s was so ob scured and diluted with dressings nud sauces that the true significance of it escaped nearly everybody ex cept the Pure-Minded and the Inno cent—are always anxious to be shock ed if possible Shocked? What does it mean? Nobody knows. A person can be pained, or surprised, or made angry, or even disgusted; or all four together for that matter; but Shock ed? There’s no such thing, It is not one of the Emotions, its only a WORD. The morning paper carried a report of a police rai l made last, night on the house of Anna Hulbert, colored, on Walker Street. And this Is only the report of what subsequently oc curred. • After one or two brief cases were disposed of, Officer Hennles, In sten torian tones, called through the guard room door: "Anna Hulbert, now, and nil her crowd come up In here-” And their coming was like the I/>- custs descending on the land of Hgvi t. There were twenty-six—seventeen men and nine women. The judge called the roll a new departure in the court room the only way he could cheque up the mighty host. “Anna Hulbert?” "Present!” she remarked conclu sively. "Carry Cooper?” “Present.” “Frances Cummings?" “Present." "Susie Cooper?” Silence. No an swer. "Susie Cooper not. here?” asked the Judge. Peculiar silence. Then a solicitous suppressed voire said : “Say ‘present., ” and In a louder tone: "She can’t say It. She's here, but she tie-tongued.” They were all there. Carry and Frances were boarders. Anna said the rest just dropped In It was not a ball She had charged no admission, sold to tickets. “It was jest a h’oclal Intertalnment.” One after another they a l made their statements. The women all said the same tiling, and so did the men. The women: I jest went roun’ .lore to sop Carry (or Frances).” The men: "1 was walkin’ by coinin’ sum my work, and heard de Ple-anna, an' dls went in to see who-all was In dore.” One man, Indeed, said he went to get a suit of clothes to press lor somebody, (he went at nine-thirty and they were pinched at twelve thirty), but was confident that, tills was good and sufficient excuse to get him off. Another man said: "Judge, I went down der on Prev ious Business!’ But the business, when looked into, did not seem to he previous enough. The Arresting Officer said; "They were all in there Ringing, dancing, hollering, playing the piano. The people on Telfair Street all along the block behind the house sent in complaints about the noise.” Now, strange to say, though each defendant acknowledged to the dinn ing "They wan all dancin' when I got dere"—yet each and everyone was sitting down. Judge, I declare f was. A great many did not even know how to dance. But the Judge said It wan obvious they were Just having another Big Night, and, since they had been warn ed repeatedly, he fined each and every one or them $5 or ten days Anna herself 'he fined $2.5 or 50 da vs ami hound over to the City Court Tor keeping a disorderly house DESTROYED OF DOLLARS WORTH OF GAMBLING PARAPHERNALIA Gambling pharnphernalhi has been col lectlng at the court house for several years.
