GRANT n WARD.
An Examination into the Affairs OF the
Firm.

NEW YORK, May 10.
In the case of Morris VS.. Grant & Ward,
Ferdinand Ward testified today that in his
transactions with City Chamberlain Tappan
the following receipt was given:
Received from Mr.. Tappen $50, 900. which
we agree to return. Grant & Ward.
He would take money for 80 days usually.
If the profits amounted to $4,000 he gave him
a due bill for the amount. When he took the
money from the parties to make these invest
ments he told them that others were inter-
ested.
He was certain that he told Warner and
Tappan this. Notes of the firm to the amount
of 81, ,300.000 were endorsed by Jas. ID. Fish.
These notes he issued to Tappan and others
to get money on them. He considered the
making of these notes as contract business.
Fisk divided his profits with Bingham of the
Marine bank, Tappan and others. Ward
stated that he had been actually supplied by
Fish with money, and the Marine bank had
furnished money by discounting notes. A
check for $274 200, was drawn April L.,
1884, to the order of Mr.. Tappan. Fisk was
only interested in part of the contracts.

No wire of consequence was made IN
England until late IN the 18th century
and the art of drawing it was not in
troduced until the 10th was well nigh
half ended. The growth of the indus
try IN that country was rapid, and in
Cromwell's time had attained consid-
cradle importance. One of the earliest
mills for wire making was built al
Nuremberg about 1860 and hundred
years later the first English mill was
put in operation at Mortlake. The
idea of the drawplate came from the
east, but to whom the credit of it's in
vention is due is not known. 1t was
brought to France by Archal, and to
England by Schultz. It's form has not
materially changed, and is that of a
cylinder fattened on one side and
bored with holes of graduated size,
through which the wire is drawn in
succession by means of a wheel and
crank until it had reached the requis-
lite size.
For very fac gold ard silver wire a
perforated ruby IS used The holes
taper TO the side where the wire FIRST
enters. Small fine wires are drawn
cold, being frequently annealed dur
ing the process. All wires in drawing
require constant fabrication. The
rapidly of drawing varies with the
siz Of the wire and the ductility OF
the metal. the speed increasing 10 as
much as rs inches per second in fine
gold wire. Iron and brass wires
range from - to 50 feet per second.
Single silver wires have been drawn
to a length of 205 miles.
