Some slight changes have taken place inthe wholesale market, but there is very little change in the state of business. Generally the markets have been dull, but a better feeling is looked for soon by merchants. The flour trade ts quiet, but prices firm at quotations. Grain isin demand and ac- tive at prices quoted. The offerings of hay h&ve been light in consequence of the bad weather dur- ing the week past. The market, however, ts not suffering for supplies, but sales are brisk at the Fates given. The butter trade 1s pretty lively, though not much tm First-class western and the best creamer are in demand and prices a little stiffer. ‘The mediums are not much indemand. Good roll butter sells quite readily, but the poor grades are a drug in the market, The supply of eggs has been rather limited, and sales are quick at the rates quoted. Good’ fresh egzs can be disposed of at once without waiting for buyers. Poultry 15 scarce and in demand at good prices, Nicely dressed poultry, in good condition, meets with ready sale at prices’ satistactory to the seller. | Green domestic fruits are high, the supply Of apples being limited and not of the Dest quality. First-class fruit brings high prices. Dried domes- Uc of all kinds 1s scarce and in demand at ad- vanced rates. The vegetable trade is lively and the supply of good stocks 1s without Mmit. “Some excellent cabbages, sweet an 1 Irish potatoes have been shipped (o this market lately, making trade in this line brisk. OLD BUTTER INTHE MARKET. Mr. John H. Crane, the produce commission dealer on Loutstana avenue, states that the market, ass usually the case in February, is a little improved, and there 1s more activity. The quantity of old butter ts enormous and has been a dead welght on the hands of dealers. Now 1t looks as If there would be a movement which wonld re- move this embarrassing feature of the market. Mr. Crane quotes produce at wholesale tn his line as follows: Beans, marrow, $425 per bushel; me- dium, $2.75; pea, $2.80; Getman, $21€2.%5; onlons, $2.50 per barrel; hominy, $44.15; York state tatoes, $1a$1.10; country potatoes, 70c.a80c. ; utter all the way from 20c.a5e.; tactory cheese, 144jc.; western half-skim cheese, 8c.al0e. ; cider, clarified, 2e.a2e.: elder vinegar, i5c.al8c.; eggs, 802.u82c.; apples, $485.

THE CONFLICT BETWEEN THE COURTS ON THE SUB- JECT OF BAIL—JUDGE WYLIR CITES THE LAW. ‘This morning, in the Criminal Court, Judge Wy- le, Mr. Pelham called attention to the case of David R. Smith, charged with forgery, in’ which the court a few days since declined to take ball. Mr. Pelham safd the Police Court held that the case was now beyond its jurisdiction. He under- stood that in such case’ as this the Criminal Court had taken bail repeatedly, and did soon the very day he made the application. ‘The Court.—I don’t remember such a case. Mr. Pelham.—The clerk informed me that there ‘was one, your honor. Mr. Coyle.—The fact 1s that tt has been re- peatedly done, and it was here that ball was taken recently In a case where no indictment had been foun The Court—Then it was done before the court Was aware of the facts. It was remarkable that the Police Court should make a point on this mat- ter when the case is so clearly within tts jurisdic. tion. ‘The judge read from page 122 Revised Statutes District, section 1,051, where authority 1s ven to the judge of the Police Court to take bail in all cases, Whether cognizable In his court-or In the Supreme Court, and he read also from 108 Ist Roscoe’s Crininal Practice. He held that the Police Court was the proper place to give ball. ‘The court further said that ff, as has been stated, the court had taken bail in similar cases, such practice was wrong. . 4 WRIT OF HABEAS CORPTS. ‘Mr. Pelham then presented a writ of habeas corpus, but it being signe! by counsel and not by the petitioner, as required, it was refused. Judge Wylie then suggested that if Judge Snell’s attention was called to the section the dimicuity could be overcome. Mr. Coyle, assistant district attorney, remarked. that there might be a shorter way—the bringing in of a presentment by the grand jury. Mr. Coyle went to the grand jury room to ascertain if it would be brought in. Mr. Pelham suggested that he was anxious in this ‘natter, Inasmuch as his client was married on January Ist, and was a bridegroom. His wife Was present, and she undoubtedly wanted him oul Mr. Coyle returned in a few minutes with word that the presentment would be down In a few minut To save time, Patrick McManus and Marbury Harris, the sureties, were examined and accepted as ball in $500, and Smith was subsequently Drought up from Jail and released. prasidtens La tecasaes Tar Reoisrerep Davo Cr ASSOCIATION.— ‘The Registered Drug Clerks’ Association met last night at their rooms, Colonization bullding, the Dresident, Edwin Gladmon, presiding.

Shea, it is ‘stated, was here some gmap el and remained two weeks, during which he attendud a ball, some friends undertaking to stand watch and hotify him of the presence of the police. A squad of police came — the scene, suspecting Shea’s presence, but ‘was early notified of their ap- proach, and escaped. ‘The Star Route Trial. AN IMPORTANT POINT IX THE TRIAL NOW REACHED. After Tus Stan's report of the star route trial closed yesterday Mr. J. B. Adams, who was county clerk at Rawlins, Wyoming Territory, tes- Ufled to having lost a letter sent by Rerdell to Eugene Taylor respecting the Rawlins and White River route, and to Rerdell’s operations in getting ‘ap petitions, James G. Runkin, a resident of Rawlins, testi- fied to conversations with Rerdell respecting the Toute, in which Rerdell declared that the con- tractors could get increased service anyhow, but he wanted petitions to base the orders upon. ‘The Witness sald that Rerdell “mentioned Dorsey. the | Man in the Senate, and Brady, the Assistant Post- Inaster General Objection was made to anything Rerdell said about Brady and Dorsey. “The question,” sald Judge Wylie, “now is whether the case has arrived at that stage.” Pending the determination of that question the court adjourhed till Monday. 3 The question referred to by Judge Wylle is whether such proof of a conspiracy has been given as to admit testimony concerning the state- ments of adefendant affecting others than him- self. This question, it, was ruled at the last trial, had to be determined before the testimony of Messrs. MacVeagh and James respecting the con- fession of Rerdeli could be received. The counsel for the prosecution expect a decision favorable to their side Monday. It is then expected that Mr. MacVeagh will be put upon the stand, as thatgen- tleman has business’ which renders’ it inconve- nient for him to wait longer to testify. There 1s only one more route to be. taken up in addition to the Rawlins and White River route, the consider- ation of which is now pending. ‘THE EYESIGHT OF EX-SENATOR DORSEY, who, his counsel confidently predicted, would be- come totally blind if the star route case was to be tried this term, is so much Improved that he now goes outof the house. Some of his friends express fears that by coming out so early he 1s running the risk of a serfous rela wee ee Congress and the Gas Question. To the Editor of Tax EvENING STAR: It is but charitable to suppose that our District committee, in agreeing to report favorably the bill to charter the United States Gas and Fuel com- pany, simply displayed great ignorance of the subject under cons!deration, and were not in- fluenced by any unworthy motives. ‘The mem- bers of the committee seem to have lost sight of the Important fact that Congress has reserved the right to control in every particular th> whole sub- Ject of gas illumination, and that it ts within their power not only by’ officers constituted by government authority, to regulate the standard of the light, but to fix the rate at which gas shall be sold. The act of June 23, 1874, fixes the price of gas, and provides that for each dollar of reduc- tion made in the price of coal a corresponding re- {duction shall be made in the price of gas, and makes it the duty of the Secretary of the Interior, which duty has been faithfully discharged, to see that this portion of the act is strictly enforced. The act named fixes the standard for the light at 16 candle power. Now, in view of the foregoing facts what was the manifest duty of the committee? Simply to inquire frst, 1s 16 candle power too low a standard; and if 80, Tulse It. Second, 1s the price charged tod high? Ifo, put {t down. 'And right here Justice com- pels the remark that no where on the Atlantic coust is gas of the same quality sold as low as in this city. A few streets of a neighboring city, Baltiinore, afford an exception; but the rest of the city 1s supplied at % cents higher than the citi- zens of Washington pay. Wesay the manifest duty of the committee was to ascertain Ii a change in the standard or in the price was required, and it so cording, under the law provided by Con- But ‘ignoring their own prerogatives, a Most radical remedy ts recominended.
