1 chango today. Tho demand for nil grades .
of this class of securities ra"hed Imposing
! proportions nna tne buying vnme rrom 1111
degrees of investors nnd speculators, largo
unit small.
The individual Investor wns In evidence as
a buyer of fractional lots nil through the
list and some of tho heavy buying wnt at
tributed to the account of banking Inter
ests and Insiders In the various properties.
The professional 'board room traders on the
floor of the exchnnye ha turned bulls to
11. man and tho speculators of larger caliber
and spectilatlvo pools made their operations
manifest In tho volume of the trnnsactlons.
Indlvldunl transactions to the extent of
1.O0O shares were so udunl as to attract little
attention, whllo many lots of 2.iM to S.U0J
were recorded on the tape. Norfolk &
Western nnd thu Atchison stocks took the
most conplciious place. In the trading, hut
there were Impressive transactions nt differ
ent times during the day in Union Pacific,
llaltlmoro & Ohio. Southern Pnellle. I'enn.
sylvnnla, Northern Pacific. Chesapeake &
Ohio nnd late In the dny In Southern rail
way. Tho strength disclosed in yestcrdny's
market precipitated today's lush to buy
nnd It wns mado clear that' a very large
element must have been waiting nnd watch
ing some time for the first sign that tho
market was throwing oft Im lethargy nnd
getting ready to mow.
In studying today's market It Is worthy
of close attention that tho rush to buv was
taken advantage of to take iirollts on 11
very largi. scale In stocks which have re
cently enjoyed 11 considerable advance under
manipulation by professional operators and
pools, Practically ll of tho Industrial
stocks, Including tho local tractions and
tho Iron nnd steel stocks nnd nlso Sugar,
were sold to tnko prollls under cover of
the speculative furore. Hut It wns not onlv
In tho mercurial specialties that this process
?VIV."1 ,rtfllence. but nlso In the railroad
list Itself.
Hultlmore & Ohio nnd the Paclllc stocks
showed Its effects very distinctly. Union
Pacific was advanced early and was hold
pretty steady nt the advance nil dny, but
It nuide no notable further progress upwnrd.
und the other stocks In this cntegorv
showed rrOsltlve renctlon. Hut the current
of the buying demand was so deej and
strong ns to carry the whole murkct practi
cally In Its awecp. Commission houses re
ported orders on 11 largo scale nnd Louden

NEW YORK. Mnrch 22-COTTON-Tho
market turned shurply upward today utter
a poor .start. Tho volume of business was
moro satisfactory for smaller than tho
avorago of the last few weeks, Influenced
by bearish cables, a clear weather map
nnd generally favorable crop report ac
(vniuts from tho HOiithwcst, tho market
opened steady, 36T5 points lower, on near
and 2 points lower to 1 higher on far
months. Local liquidation nnd scarcity ot
buyeis wero supplemental Influences In de
pressing tho market during the llrft hour.
Then eamo a rapid and decided advance on
energetic foreign buying ot tho far months
nnd a sudden change In tho purport of tho
Inter cables from tho Liverpool market.
Iiter shorts went to cover and ffoon good
buying orders wero coming from the south.
Heforo tho upward movement had been
reached the prices reached a level 10 points
above tho opening, and for tho remainder
of tho day the market held up well on a
promise of a bullish showing of statistics
tomorrow. The port movement was gen
erally moro than expected, but offsetting
this 'fi'iitiiro was tho more liberal showing
at tho Interior receiving points than antici
pated. Reports that crops wero backward
and that tbo acreage was not turn'ni: out
sa large, ns predicted in January were tho
cuusen jjlven for the carclty of shorts In
Liverpool. On the rlsn hero tho Investment

mnnd rendered the cattle market a little
more active nnd prices Generally stronger
i,moInlnRr'
Ruvers were alt nut oarlv nnrt tbev nnted
as If they wanted the fat cattle. Tho trade
opened enrly nnd It wns not long until
everything wns disposed of. The prices paid
wero strong ns compared with yesterday,
but the market could hardly with safety be
nui.ieu Hiiy nifjoer man yesternny.
Cows and heifers were nlso In 1
mod de
mand and the market strong. Local nark-
' ers were all looktne for supplies and the
1 desirable kinds were soon disposed of. The
1 bull market continues about as It has been
1 nil the week that Is, without any Improve
ment so far as, the fat bulls are concerned.
Stock bulls are scarce and us there Is al
ways some little Inquiry they sell pretty
well, If good. Veal cnlves sold In about the
jam! noicnes ns yesterday.
Feeding cattle were In good demand and
as tho offerings wero light the supply was
soon exhausted. The prlcos paid for feedlnc
cattle have been high all this week and the
mnrket today was firm. Representative
sales:

B. A plea Justifying a libel Is defective If
the evidential facts Instead of the ultimata
facts aro nlleged; but If tho trial court and
tho litigants trust the plea ns sufficient and
proof Is Introduced on the theory that it ls
Hilfllclent Its infirmity mny be cured by
nmendment.
6. Tho law presumes thnt some damage
results from the publication of an article
libelous per se, and It Is the business of tho
Jury, In nn notion for such Injury, to deter
mine tho amount of damage.
7. In the trial of an notion for damages
resulting from tho publication of a news
paper libel, where the gist of the netlon Is
injury dono to plaintiff's business. It Is
proper to show the extent nnd charnrter
of tho business nnd Its volume both heforo
nnd after tho publication of the libelous
article.
8. In such case the Jury should tnko Into
account the probable ruturo nn well nn the
actual past nnd nssess the dnmnges once
for all.
9. In an notion for libel, under the alle
gatlon of loss of business, It is enmpotont
ior ine piniuuii to prove it general loss or
I ilecllno of iiatronncn without nnmlnir nnr.
, tlcular custoinerH or proving that they have
ceaaed to do business with hint.
10. And In such case If evidence of spe-
( clnl dnmnges Is received without objection
It may bo considered by tho jury.
II. Where a defamatory article contains
i nn imputation upon tno solvency nnd sta
billty of n largo newspaper concern It Is
proper in tho trial of nn notion to recover
dnmnges occasioned by the libel to show by
expert proof the general effect, of such an
article on tho business of audi a pub
lisher. 12. In nil Judicial proceedings dlsputod
questions of fact must bo established by
olvcd which o'n

Information Is
In existence nnd accessible.
14. The admission of Incompetent ovl

15. Whero It nppoars that a Judgment ls
based on a verdict which Is excessive,
though not given under tho influence of
pnsslon or prejudice, it may bo permitted

Sullivan, J.
1. Tho net of 1S87 (Sess. Laws, Ch. 60)
creating the Hoard of Transportation nnd
defining Its powers Is not In conflict with
section 26. article v, of the constitution,
which forbids tho legislature to create any
executive state olllce.
2. Nor Is It In conflict with section 2,
nrtlclo v, oi the constitution, which declares,
that no executive stnto ofllcer shall bo
eligible to nny other state ofllce,
3. Tho Btnto Hoard of Transportation lias
power to Inquire Into the Intrastate busi
ness of express, telephone and telegraph
companies and rcgulato their rates there
for. 4. The act of 1893, known ns tho "maxi
mum rate law" (Sess. Laws, Ch. xxiv) doe
not materially modify tho provisions ot tho
law enacted In 18S7 (Sess. Laws, Ch. Ix) de
fining tho dutleH and powers of the Stato
Hoard ot Transportation.
5. Tho enactment of 1893 known as tho
"maximum roto law" (Sess. Laws, Ch.
xxlv) appears upon Its face to be a consti
tutional nnd valid act, ond there Is no pre
sumption that Its Immediate execution
would dcprlvo freight carriers of their
property without dun process of law or
deny them tho equal protection of the
laws.
6. This court does not take Judicial cog
nizance of thn net earnings of railroad
companies and cannot assume without
proof, that the "maximum rnte law" (Ch.
xxlv, Sess. Laws, 1893) Is now, or wns at
tho tlmo of Its enactment, confiscatory
legislation.
7. A Judgment is blndinir onlv between
the parties to the action In which It wan
rendered; It Is of no force between other
litigants.
8. The seventh point of the syllabus In
Pacific Express Company ngalnst Cornell,
59 Neb, , 81, N. W. Rep., 377, Is disap
proved. !). Tho Jurisdiction of the Hoard ot Trans
portation under the net of 1887 (Sess. Laws.
Ch. lvl) Ih not limited to tho regulation of
speclllc charges for messages sent from one
point to another within the stnte. The rjr
ulatlons of telephone rentals Is also within
the powers of the board.
10. Tho act oi 1897 (Sess. Laws. Ch, lvl)
empowering the Hoard of Transportation to
regulate tho charges nf express, telephone
nnd teiegrnph companies Is an original nnd
Independent stntute nnd Is not vlolntlvn of
section 11, article III, of the constitution,
respecting amendatory legislation.
