A Dry Goods Suit.

The case of Marshal Field d Co.
against w. W. Robinson is on trial be-
fore Judge Clark. The plaintiffs, who
are wholesale merchants in Chicago, sue
W. W. Robinson for the recovery Of
goods to the value of $4,000 and $1,000
damages and costs of suit. The plaintiffs
allege that in October, 1887, Charles A.
Branham purchased a large amount oil
goods of them, and in January of the
following year he falsely and fraudulently
made an assignment to the defendant,
w. w. Robinson, and turned over to
him a large amount Of tho goods he Sc
cured from the plaintiffs. That said
Branham secured the goods from the
plaintiffs by fraudulent mIsrepresenta-
ton, and stating that he owed nothing
and was the owner of certain real estate
in Denver, Colorado, while the facts are
he owed $14, 900 or more and owned nc
real estate in Denver. They, therefore,
ask that the defendant be ordered to re-
turn to the plaintiffs the goods he holds
as the assignee OF the said Branham, OF
in default thereof they be given judgment
against him for the value of said goods,
together with damages in the sum Of
$5, 900 and costs of suit.

NETWORK, June 1.-There was little interest
shown in the dealings to-day, the fluctuations
in the general list being confined to small frac.
tons. Some selling of st. Paul caused weak
feeling in the early trading, but the strength OF
the Oregon Transcontinental, which rose from
35 to 3712 on the bidding of one broker, and
the strong tone of Pacific stocks. afterward
brought about more confident feeling and a
rally set in, which by the close of the Board
had brought the prices back again to about the
level of the opening figures. The. market
closed dull but firm, close to the opening
figures.
