courteously handed them back, sup
posing them TO have been put there IN
absence of mind. but the donor again

wishing to make a scene, the official
finished his collection and the spec
tacles were duly presented with the

arraigned in Bow street police court.
The charge against them is warning
against friendly state"
The case was adjourned for two
weeks, the prisoners being admitted to
bail in $4,000 each.
DR.. Jameson's entrance to the court
room was the signal for remarka bic
scene. Evidently everyone present was
of one mind in sympat hizing with him.
All were his friends, and all rose and
uncovered upon his appearance. giving
him hearty cheers. L was in vain that
the court officers sought to quell the
demonstration. The effort to do SO
seemed little more than cursory. After
the hearing DR.. Janleson's appearance
outside the building was the sigma for
wild outburst of cheering, throwing
of hats in the air and a tremendous
pressure to get within reach of the
popular idol.

In some quarters business gains at the
west rather than at the east, but there is
no general change for the better. although
hopefulness still predominates. Foreign
affairs grow more pacific. public opinion
turns more resolutely toward sound money,
but the want of sufficient demand for the
products of great industries still retards
actual Improvement. Strikes of some i'm
portance in garment making and kindred
lines affect trade in Chicago and Balti-
more, but there are fewer labor difficulties
than usual, as existing conditions warn
wage-earners that controversies at this
time are unwise- Speculative markets
show little life. The volume of business
does not improve. Exchanges through the
principal clearing houses show ls7 per cent

plans are unusually large, but sheets sell
slowly and rails very little.
Exports of domestic products from New
York for three weeks show a gain of IL
per cent over last year, while imports in
the same time scarcely increase. But ex-
port bills are diminishing rapidly at this
season, while later imports naturally come
in succeeding months, and many security
bills have to be met in the near future

exports are not far off
