Judge Baldwin instructed the jury that the pat
ent was established, if the witnesses were bellev-
ed; and left it to the jury to assess what damages
they thought proper, as actual, not vindlctlve re-
endorsement to the plaintiff for what he had suf-
fered by the defendant. The jury, after a short
retirement, gave their verdict for $500, which be-
ing trebled as the Jaw directs, makes the sum OF
$1,000 for the infringement complained OF.

IMPORTS AND EXPORTS OF GREAT BRITAIN.-
The London Courier gives a SYNOPSIS OF the state
ments contained Inca speech of MIR. Husklsson on
the state of Great Britain, delivered on the 10th
, March, and lately printed. In comparing the
amount of British trade of late years with what
it was eight or ten years before, MIR. Husklsson
drew a parallel between two periods OF the same
length, viz. the five years ending,wlth 1920, and
the five years ending with 1923, and came to the
conclusion that a great increase had taken place
in various branches. The following Is the alb
stract of Lis results, given by the English editor:
UooHens.-In no article has the competition
of foreigners been Of late more felt than IN wool
lens. Spain, formerly the only country which
exported wool of fine quality, had few manutac-
lures; but the case is very different in Saxony
and those parts of Germany in which the growth
Of wool has been so greatly extended since the
beginning Of the century. In the United States
Ut America. also, great efforts have been made to
supply their consumption 81, woollens; and the
result has been, that exports have. for a number
Of wears, remained stationary. being about Co.

and our supplies of British wool have also consi-
derably increased, In any article which pays no
duty. and is subject to no registry, we have no
means IF comparing the wear or consumption at
home at one period with that OF another; but the
increase has evidently been large of late years,
particularly in the finer qualities of cloth.
SiM.-Here also the export OF the manufactur-
ed article has been nearly stationary, but the
import of the raw material has increased very
largely, in the proportion OF 10 to "a. This
proves a great increase in the wear of silks at
home, owing, doubtless, to the great reduction in
the price.
Far.-The import. in the second period quot
ed by MIR. Huskisson, has increased in the
proportion of 10 to 20, which, when made int"
linen, has been applied partly to export partly
to home consumption.

have increased very considerably. for the increase
in the import of hides has been nearly in the pro-
portion Of 10 to 40, without much addition to our
exports.
TaHou.-This is another article for which we
are largely indebted for foreign supply, the I'M
port having increased in the proportion of II to
10, which has been applied partly to increase OF
export, partly of home consumption. ,

the reduced price of our nome timber; such. IN

tent of our new buildings.
Cottons.-ln this. by much the greatest branch
of our manufacture. the import in the five years
ending with 1928. exceeded those of the five
years ending with 1890 in the proportion of 10
to Is. while our exports and our home COnsump-
ton appeared to have increased in nearly an equal
ratio.
Increase of home consumption may at hrst
appear in a very different light from an increa Sc
of productive power; but let it be remembered that
the raw materials imported are paid for by the
produce of British industry-by the export. noto
the precious metals, which we have not to give,
butbv the fruits Of our capital, labor, and machi-
merry, applied to manufacture.

Congress- An hour after the adjournment,
on Monday says the National Intelligencer,
IS three.fourths of all the members had dispersed,
North, East, West and South, to their respective
homes. 1t so happens with that body. and indeed,
with an the legislatures. that their separation is
never regretted either by themselves or any one
else. The excess of oratory and the waste of time
utterly cloy and fatigue ali parties.-Nat. Gas.
