THE WEEK IN TRADE
Business Unusually Good for the
Pre Holiday Season
R G Dun Cos Weekly Review of
Trade says The opening of congress
with the annual message and roports has
not discouraged business as some predicted
but all speculative markets are stronger
than a week ago The productive indus
tries even in the season usually about the
dullest of the year as to new orders meet
a definite improvement in demand for im
port products presumably the fruit of a
prevailing conviction that new business
will begrin to crowd the works after the
new year starts
The sudden rise in December wheat at
Chicago to 109 would do harm were it
not based on avowed contracts to ship
some millions of bushels to Europe Cot
ton is a sixteenth stronger in spite of esti
mates ranging from 10100000 to 11000000
bales The demand for woolen goods has
clearly improved More wool has just
been purchased abroad and is being im
ported

Out In the Courts
The act of the Ohio legislature giving

mobs was declared unconstitutional by the
circuit court at Cleveland in the case of J
W Caldwell against the county commis

strike and the act in question would have
allowed him to collect it from the county
The act fixed the damages arbitrarily at
500 for an assault 1000 for serious injury
and 5000 for death The court declared
that when a man was injured but not
seriously enough to be entitled to 1000
the act in effect made him a present of the
difference between his just due and 1000

authorize laws for purposes of making
presents
