sEARLES ON TRIAL.
II Is Thought That the Case May BE
Taken From the Jury.

Washington. May &.-The trial of John
r. Searles. secretary OF the American
Sugar Refining company, followed that
of President Havemeyer In Judge Brad
ley's court to-day. The Indictment was
very similar to the one found against
Havemeyer. except the questions asked
Of Searles were somewhat different. The
same lawyers who appeared for Have
meyer had charge of Searles' defense.
Members of the senate investigation COM
mittee and other distinguished persons
were present.
District Attorney Davis asked that In
the event the trial was not concluded to-
day. though he saw no reason why IL
should not be, II be adjourned until Tues
day, owing to an important engagement
of counsel for the defense. Judge Bradley
agreed. None of the first l2 talesmen
were challenged. but one was excused.
The indifference of defendants counsel to
the composition OF the jury seemed to in
dicate confidence that the case will evcn-
tually DE taken out OF the hands OF the
jury, as that of Hayemeyer's was.
At 1i:iO the government rested its case
against John +. Searles. secretary of the
American Sugar Refining company. tn,
defense moved the jury be instructed to
bring in a verdict of acqulttal ON three
grounds.

TRADE CONDITIONS

Volume Of Merchandise Distribution Dis

New York. May %-Bradstreets to-
morrow will say: Results of the spring
trade In staples. which Is now over, are
disappointing. The volume OF seasonable
merchandise distributed is less than cX-
pected without taking into account an i'm
provement In business compared with a

and Southern trade centers report busi-
ness very quiet. Dry goods continue de-
pressed. cotton goods selling with diff
Guilty, some varieties only on concessions.
The announcement of reduced or passed
cotton mill dividends and that several
large establishments will shut down to
enable consumption to overtake produc-
tion. which, coupled with comparative in
difference of consumers to the lowest
prices on record for iron and steel would
appear to sufficiently characterize the ac-
tual condition OF general trade.
Increased exports are reported from the
Pacific coast ports. but there is compara-
lively little gain in domestic trade here.
