South Wales Markets.
South Wales Markets. [From A. Mitchelson & Co., Stock- brokers, Cardiff, Swansea, and London.] Business in local markets is still of small dimensions, and the tone in Rails and Coal shares continues dull. The marine engineers' strike has caused ner- vousness, as if it should continue for any length of time it may result in the stop- page of some of the collieries. There is practically no change in Rails. Taff is steady round 70, and this is the only Stock in which there is any semblance of activity. There is nothing to call for any comment in Prior-charge Stocks. The better class are still obtainable, though the cheapening of money must eventually have the effect of strengthening these. Banks are a' firm section. Metropolitans have improved to 14-1-10 on the fusion with the London City and Midland. The latter Company's shares, however, are un- affected. Lloyds and Capital and Counties I are both firm, but London and Provin- cials are unchanged at 20. Gas and Water and Breweries are steady, but there is practically nothing doing in them. In Dock and Shipping, Junctions have still further improved, and are now quoted 45—50. Barry Graving and Mount Stuarts are in demand, and there has also been a little enquiry for Mordey Carneys. Shipping shares, on the other hand, are dull and heavy. Tatems have receded to 28s. 6d.-29s. 6d. In Coal and Iron, Rhymney Irons have been largely dealt in. The price of the Old Ordinary receded to 9s.—10s., and the New to 8s.—9s., but this fall brought in support, and the price has quickly re- covered to 9s. 9d.-10s. 3d. and 8s. 9d.— 9s. 3d. The Preference shares are being steadily bought by investors at from 17s. 6d.-17s. 9d. Blaenavons and Ebbw Vales are both lower. The latter have been dealt in to a moderate extent at from 16s.-16s. 3d. ex dividend. There has been some good buying of United National Ordinary at round 44s., and these have a firm appearanre. Great Western "B are another firm share at 7-1, and the New are wanted at L4 3s. 9d. with sellers at L4 5s. Consolidated Cam- brian Ordinary are steady at from 18s. to 18s. 3d., and the Preference at from 18s. 6d.-18s. 9d. D. Davis and Sons are easier business, having been done several times at 36s. Insoles Ordinary have changed hands at 22s. 9d. and the Pre- ference at 20s. Norths are quiet, and Ocean Coal and Wilsons Ordinary are offering at Sk. Powell Duffryns have been done to a moderate extent at 47s. Tre- degar "A" are on the dull side at from 21s.—21s. 3d. Windsor Ordinary have been done at 3, and the Ten-per-Cent. Preference at lOf. In Miscellaneous, Cardiff Ice are offer- ing at 12l, but Coliseums are firm at 3g bid. Moss Empire Ordinary have re- covered to 41, and Hackneys are steady at 4—4 £ The latter Company's Prefer- ence shares have improved to 4-.11. Spillers and Bakers Ordinary have come on offer again, and business has been done in these at 41s.
ITreorchy.I
Treorchy. I The funeral took place on Saturday of I Mrs. Sarah Evans, 69, Tynybedw Street, who died early in the week, after an acute illness. Deceased had resided in the dis- trict for a large number of years, and was held in high esteem by all who had come in contact with her. Much sym- pathy is felt with the relatives in their sad bereavement. The funeral was largely attended, and the officiating minister was the Rev. D. Francis. The mourners were: —Mr. and Mrs. John Evans (son and daughter-in-law) Mr. D. Llewellyn Evans (grandson); Miss Annie M. Lewis (granddaughter); Mr. and Mrs. John Lewis (son-in-law and daughter); Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins (cousins). Floral tributes were sent by Mrs. J. Evans; Mrs. J. Lewis; Mr. and Mrs. Millward; and family. The annual" tea-fight" under the auspices of the members of Horeb (E.B.) Chapel took place on Thursday evening last, and was patronised by a large num- ber of people. The duties in the various capacities relating to the distribution of the good things provided were ably car- ried out by a band of willing workers. Simple, yet it might have serious conse- quences, was the nature of an accident which took place near the Stag Hotel Square on Saturday evening. At about 6 p.m. Mr. W. Peters, confectioner, Peny- graig, was driving liis van past that spot. The five-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Evans, 46, High Street, ran behind the van, and somehow he got between the spokes of the wheel. His leg was pinned, and one of the spokes had to be sawn off before he could be extricated. This having been effected, first-aid was rendered to the boy by Acting Sergt. Robert Smith, who was on the spot. The officer named is associated to the Abergorchy Ambulance Corps, and the service rendered by him on this occa- sion was commendable. The boy was fur- ther treated by Dr. J. R. Armstrong at the surgery, whereto he was immediately conveyed. The Ramah Sunday School scholars-held their annual outing on Saturday. This year the "Brighton of Wales" was the favoured destination, and there quite an enjoyable tiine was spent by the large company.

Sequel to Pentre Ra-id.
Sequel to Pentre Ra-id. Defendant In Ccurt I The sequel to the raid by the police on a shop in the occupation of Mr. Albert Demery at 193. Ystrad Road, Ton-Pentre, last ednesday week, was heard in the third court at Ystrad Police' Court on Monday last, before Mr. J. D. Williams (in the chair) and Mr. John Evans. Mr. Demery was charged with using the premises (193, Ystrad Road) for bet- ting purposes. Mr. J. Watkin Jones defended. P.S. Dennett. Pentre, said that on Saturday morning, the 13th inst., in com- pany with P.C. Davies (677), he kept observation on a greengrocer's shop occu- pied by defendant. Witness stated he saw men enter at different times and hand slips to Demery, who several times left the shop and returned. A man of Jewish appearance from the faii-field entered the shop, and also a man drove up in a green- grocer's cart and entered. The Chairman Did they deal in any goods?—No, sir. Continuing, witness said that observa- tions were discontinued at 3.G p.m., and the last man to enter handed something' to defendant's daughter. On Tuesday, the 16th inst., witness and P.C. Davies resumed observations at 11.10 a.m. Many men entered the shop, and slips were handed in. Witness again kept obser- vation with P.C. Davies on the following clay, and saw the same thing again occur. At 11.30 a.m. a man entered and handed the girl a slip, which she put into her apron pocket. At 11.40 a.m. witness and P. C. Davies entered the premises under power of a search warrant. Demery and his daughter, Bertha, were in the shop, and witness told defendant that he had kept the shop under observation on the 13th, 16th, and that morning, and lie 13t]i, "All right." Witness took Demery into the back room, and left P.O. Davies and the girl Bertha in charge of the shop. The warrant was then read over to him. Witness was a bout to' give the result of the search, when Mr. J. Watkin Jones proceeded to crosS-examine witness. Mr. Jones: You took the money?—I counted it twice in his presence. You also took some money from the till ?-Yes, sir.. And that money you have retained ever since?—Yes, sir. Mr. Jones submitted this- was not, -evidence. He contended the police had no right to take the money from the shop, as it was not stipulated in the section of the Act under which the arrest was made. The section only related to cards and other things relating to racing. It did not refer to money, and the only autho- rity under which they could have taken the money was the Metropolitan Act of 1839, whereas they were proceeded against under the Betting Act section. Supt. Edwards: Unless Mr. Jones can quote a case where the police could not take the money in regard to betting, this case is all right. The Chairman (to Mr. Jofiesj Dont you think the section referred to deals very widely? They had power to take anything pertaining to betting. Supt. Edwards It is the common prac- tice, and you will find It so if you look up similar cases of betting. Mr. Jones We are not bound by prac- tices. Supt. Edwards: It is part and parcel of the transactions. Mr. Jones: They could easily find out how much money was there by counting it. They have made a contravention of the Act. The Chairman It seems to me that the Act is wide enough. It says, "All lists or documents." Mr. Jones: It does not say money. Supt. Edwards: It carries everything found in connection with betting. I don't know of a single case where money was not seized. It is the very material of the case. The Chairman: Can you tell us how many persons you saw enter the shop? Witness: On the first day 13 persons entered, and not one made a purchase. The next day 14 entered, and on the morning of the raid five men entered, and, with one exception, made no pur- chase. Supt. Edwards It would not have been reasonable had we not taken everything relating to the charge. Mr. Taylor (clerk), who was in another court, was called in, and said that money was characterised as part of the game, and was therefore an important instru- ment of betting. The Bench ruled against the objection, and Mr. Jones further submitted that the warrant was defective. According to Sec- tion 11 of the Act it was right, but it did not authorise them to take money. The Chairman: It amounts to the same thing, and we have decided against you. Mr. Jones: J submit the warrant is defective. The Chairman We think it is all right. Continuing his evidence, witness said he f-o-und L13 10s. in gold, consisting chiefly of half-sovereigns, 12s. 3d. in silver, and 2d. in bronze. On a table he found three slips showing a number of horses, and were numbered from 1 to 20; also 22 betting slips containing the names of 79 horses, which all ran on the pre- vious day except two, which ran on the Saturday. In the cupboard was a bet- ting book, and in the firegrate portions of betting slips which had been torn. Some sporting papers and other slips were also found. In the back of the till two paper bags containing money were found. In one was C2 Is. and in the other £2 10s. On one page of a grocer's book were the names of horses and men. A letter from a man named Dan Cotter, of Cardiff, was also found in the till, and some betting slips. Witness asked the girl Bertha i what she had done with the packet that he had seen her receive, and, without replying, she put her hand into her apron pocket and pulled it out. Demery then said, "I told you not to take any to- day," and she replied, "I took it to give to you." At that moment a boy entered an d left a mid-day sporting paper. Defen- dant was taken to the police station, and when charged said, I have nothing to say. Mr. Jones: How far away were you watching this place?—About c'-lt yards. Would you be higher than (i., -hop?- Yes, sir. Would you be near to th, ow?— Very near. Was it possible for them to see you ?— No, sir. Was there anything to interrupt your I view ?- Yes, sir. Didn't it interrupt your view?—No, sir we were looking through glasses right into the shop Oh, you did use glasses?—At times, when the sun was strong. He would take a good amount of money in his shop, wouldn't he?—A fairly good amount. Especially in the present fruit season? -I cannot say. The day you entered was the day on which the Royal Hunt Cup race at Ascot was run?—Yes, sir. And every sportsman has a bet on 1t:- —Yes; it is rather a big race. Answering further questions, witness said he took Demery into the back room to avoid a scene. He did not think it was strange not to ask the girl for the packet immediately he went in. Mr. Jones pressed the point, and the Chairman remarked that the officer did the right thing. Witness admitted he said to Demery lk was not satisfied with the search, but after examining what they found he was perfectly satisfied. One account be found showed that defendant had a betting account with Cotter. He thought the money found represented more than what Demery would take in his business. Defendant told him he had intended going to Cardiff, and witness replied he was I -iii d sorry, but he would have to come with hiiii. He did not know that defendant went to Cardiff frequently to make cash purchases of fruit. Questioned as to the account found on the premises, witness would not admit that it contained business relating to defendant's transactions at Cardiff. He knew Dan Cotter very well. Mr. Jones: He is a commission agent. isn't he?—Oh, he does a lot of things (laughter). You don't know those who entered? Yes, I do. P.C. Davies gave corroborative evi- dence, and said they were concealed directly opposite the shop. Inspector Jones said that on Tuesday, the second day on which the police kept e secon d observation, he saw defendant leave with the 1.14 p.m. train for Cardiff, and made a note of it as he knew his premises were being watched Mr. Jones, addressing the Bench, sajd defendant had unfortunately been taking bets, but not for himself. As a favour for a Cardiff commission agent, he re- ceived the money and sent it on. Defendant and his daughter both gave evidence, and the Chairman said the Bench were perfectly satisfied the case was made out. They did not want to be hard on him, although he was liable to a fine of £100. In imposing a fine of E10, he warned him to be careful in the future. Mr. Jones gave notice of appeal. The Chairman complimented the police, on the way in which the evidence had been given.

I FEET SWOLLEN & REP-HAW, j I Zam-Buk Ends A Lady's Discomfort. ¡ i ,S A. E. A. Dale, of 6, Varley Road, Custom House. Victoria Docks, London, E., has proved how wonderfully soothing and com- forting Zam-Huk is fur sore feet. My feet used to get swollen and inflamed," she says. They were so painful that it was impossible to walk about. The skin at times was almost red-raw, and constantly ached. For four years I was tortured and got no relief until T used Zam-Buk. This rich balm soothed my poor feet splendidly and also took down the swelling and inflammation. As I persevered with Zam-Buk, the soreness and the smarting pain died away. My feet are now quite better, thanks alone to Zam-Buk. It is quite a pleasure now-a-days to walk about." Zam-Buk is the ideal remedy for all itching and inflammatory conditions of the skin. It is also a thoroughly reliable preventive of festering and blood-poisoning, and a soothing healer of cuts and wounds. Zam-Buk Aledicinal Soap is invaluable to all troubled with skin soreness or irritation. Zam-Buk Balm is never sold from door to door, but only in sealed boxes at chemists and drug stores. Beware of all imitations.
