Va., Jan. 14.?(Spe? cial)?The panel was completed for the trial of Commonwealth's case against A. D. Wlnslow at 11 o'clock this morning. The examination of .the Commonwealth's witnesses Is now in progress. The indictment upan which tho defendant Is being tried charges shooting John Reynolds with Intent to kill. It will be ronieTivbered that the difficulty, which involved the employes of two ship chandleries of this city, occurred on the James liver last fall, as the runners of the Newport News Supply company, and A. D. Wlnslow & Co., In over-y.ealous rivalry to sup? ply provisions to an Incoming ship, met in collision with their small boats as they attempted to out-do eacTi other in speaking the ship.and getting the captain's ear. A miniature nav.al tat? tle ensued between the crews of the boats in collision. John Reynolds, one of the occupants of the supply com? pany's boat, it was said, assaulted the occupants of the Wlnslow boat with an oar, and the grand Jury found a ! true bill against him for this offense. Wlnslow, however, was more war-like in his demonstrations. He drew a re- j voSyer and tired several shots at John Reynolds, two of which took effect. Reynolds, a man of great stature and Ihexhaustable nerve. Is now on the stand giving the defendant's lawyers a drill In mental gymnastics. POLICE COURT. Wm.

It 13 all the better I'hat there 'Is no wild excitement In ?the speculative markets, and -while Stocks advance a little, trrain yields a little. The payments through principal blearing Wouses, notwithstanding a de? crease at New York, owing to less ac? tivity 4n stocks, are 2.G per cent, larger than In 1892, and 10.1 per cent, larger outside of New York. Earnings of all railroads in t'he United States reporting for December, $43,304,279, indicate sub? stantially the same rate of Increase, ex? ceeding last year's by 10.5 per cent., and Che earning of 1S92 for the same roads by 1.8 per cent. Since 1802 was on the whole the most prosperous year thus far, comparisons indicate, not? withstanding the lowest prices ever known t'h'at the volume business Is ?lai-Rer, and 'in spite of some cutting of rules, >the earning of railroads are larger than in the best year of past history. The wheat market has been curiously languid! yielding Vi of a cent, Oil though Atlantic exports amount to 6,05G,7SS ibufihels for the two weeks of January against 8,080,317 last year, and 'Pacific exports for the woek have been 1,970.676 bushels.

The Iron furnaces in blast January 1st report an output of 836,608 tons weekly, against 226,024 weekly Decem? ber 1st, with an increase of 12,481 tons in the unsold sOocks held by furnaces. While Mils Show's a consumption 52'/j per cent, larger 'than <i year ago, there would be discouraging Indications of consumption but for the foot that sev I oral furuincos were stopped tor tlie hol? idays, and these, with several others hnvo started since January 1st. 'while I the demand for finished products does not dimlnsh. The Pennsylvania ra.ll road has orderedd 100,000 tons steel rails and a new railroad In Maine 12,000 tons and other orders or ears, railroad suip plles, plates, bars and structural ma? terial are unusually large for the sea? son. The woolen manufacturers have been buying wool largely, and for reasons not puhllcly explained. It Is evident ?that lanjro orders have been taken Ivy the leading mills at prices which they find satisfactory ond the rush of small mills to buy wool has made imost of the ?market during tho past week. Put there Is decidedly 'belter demand for men's wear goodSt and the makers look .for? ward to a gicd season. Tho cotton manufacturers, heavily overloaded by excessive production, find no Increase In depnand and no gain In prices. Pall urea for the past ?week have been 349 In the United .States ngminst 45", last year, and 4r> in Canada, against 71 lost yfo.r. DRAiDSTR'KTjT'S RiRVI R\V. Rradetreet's to-morrow will say: Distributive trade remains rather quiet, mild weather throughout the country tending to check distribution of winter goods. Prices generally re? main steady or tend upward, except for some grades of Iron, and orders for sprlnp trade where received are encournging. Industrial activity Is most manifest at the West, where the demand for Iron is very large. A fea \ ture of the week was the plaring of an order by one railroad for 100,000 tor.v? of steel mils, w.'.th Rinnller orders, aggregating in the neighborhood of 25,000 tons more. Pig Iron production is now nt an unprecedented rate, the furnace capacity being estimated at 1,000.000 tons a month. At the South manufacturing activity Is a feature, sales rf Iron being very heavy. A good export demand for cotton and grain nt steady prices \* also ;i fea? ture. At the Kar: hfnumber of strikes against wages reductions are report? ed or expected In the cotton industry. Some woolen mills, working on heavy meit's wear goods, are r< fusing orders, their capacity being fully booked. An? thracite real production, It Is hoped In thut trade, will be restricted sufllclent ly to allow of the advance of 20 to 40 cents' per ton being maintained. Delicate children !

Weather has been disappointing at the Northwest, but an Improvement In the demand developed at some centres os~ the week advanced. The rush to Al? aska has already begun on the Pacific coast. Freight charters are reported lower. Export trade continues large, a gain of 8 per cent, on the total ex? port of breadetuff?, cottpn, mineral, oils, cattle and hogs and provisions being shown both for December and the oalendur year. The recent falling bff In wheat ex? ports prove, rs was Indicated last week In Hradstreet's, to have been due to the usual holiday quiet and not to any falling off of demand from abroad. The total export of wheat Hour Includ? ed us wheat) from the United States and Canada, for this week" amounted to G.135.1GG bushels, against 3,481,000 bushels last week, and 3,048,000 bush? els this week a year ago, 3,202,000 bush? els In 189G and 3,.r>G4,000 bushels In 1895. Corn exports for the week show a gain of l.OUO.OOO bushels, amounting to 4.G41.000 bushels, against 3.455,000 bush? els last week and 3,33C,000 busftels In tho corresponding week of 1896.

The question of having the trans? portation companies touch at our wharves is betriff warmly discussed and pushed with no little effort. Tho cltisens think that the companies will touch our wharves with junt as much willingness and be as ready to respond to our demands aa they were to Ports? mouth, especially when they can do so with one-fourth the expense. They ray that they can see no reason or argument that the companlc can pro? duce for not coming to our wharves, when they will send tugs tip the minor tributaries and little streams to a distance from five to twenty miles and tow In the truckers' freight free of charge. Our back country is not blessed with such advantages. The truckers have not only to haul their marketable produce several miles through the country to reach the water, but huve to haul it to the companies' shipping points in Norfolk: and pay ferriage. Our people say they will not submit to it further, when they have equal advantages and In? ducements, ns our sister clttiesj and they do not believe the companies will ask for a. furtherance of this unnec? essary labor and experience.
