THE MARKETS. CONSIDERABLE WEAKNESS IN V. S. STEEL LATEST STOCK, FLOUR, FEED, GRAIN AND PRODUCE QUOTATIONS. Philadelphia, July 3.

The torrll wave and the awful record of prost'atlons following in Its wake kept scoits of brokers from the city, and emptychalrs in commission houses bore emphatic testimony of the lack of public llterest in the markets. Without thesj roundings business would have' sur fallen flat, because there Is never a sposl tlon to trade on the eve of a prolonged holiday. Added to these restrictive Influences came an unexpected rise; In call money rates, 12 per cent, being laid for accommodation at one time, bit even more of a factor was the disappointment over the failure of the (United States Steel directors to spedfleally state whether the 1 per cent, dividend on the common was to be considered quarterly. This disappointment was seen In heavy selling of the stcik, the price sagging over a point wh the pressure. With this weaknes most prices began to run off, but the market was disposed to cut away fromhls influence during the afternoon.

The movements in this city tfere not productive of much change, the market here being dominated by the sane influences that governed the traling in Gotham. Only a handful of brokers were on the floor, but customers were proportionately even more scaice than brokers. Withal there was a Jr market, and most prices were aboie those of last night. Comment was caused by a jump of in Union Tractio( intervening sales. The purchase wis attributed to a broker that has fliort of the stock.

He has decided that inly In those cases where the alderman writes out the discharge to release the prisoner from Imprisonment can he charge the 35 cents fee. It had been the custom to charge this fee in all cases of discharges, regardless of the fact whether 4he defendant was in jail at the time of his release or out.

This ruling will save the county several hundred dollars annually. When the monthly bill for County Bridge Inspector George Moser's salary was presented to Controller Shomo, he declined to pay It, stating he wished to look into the matter first. Mr. Moser has held the position for IVi years. The salary for the first year was $50 per month, but this was changed to $2.50 per working day at the beginning of the year.

Mr. Shomo claims the law provides for no such position. He had a hearing in the case. Mr. Moser was present and explained the work he did in looking after the county bridges and reporting to the commissioners.

President Moyer. of the Board of County Commissioners, testified to Mr. Moser's employment by the board. He considered the office necessary. The bill is still held under advisement.

Letters of administration on the estate of James A. Will. Hereford, were issued to Amanda S. Will. Huff's church.
