'H()QEY Is SCORED
In Court For Daring to Accuse
an Earl
OF ATTEMPTED BRIBERY
His Honor Draws it Exceed
ingIy Mild on MeIud.

! London Aug. Tin the Queens Bench
division Of the high court OF justice TO-
day Justice Wright acquitted Earl de La
War; and Mr.. Broadley. OF the charge
OF contempt OF court in an alleged at
tempt 10 induce Ernest Terah Hooley. ths
bankrupt company promoter. TO falsify
his evidence in the bankruptcy court The
learned judge said, however, that both
were blamable and ne mulcted them IN
costs.
Justice Wright said tina, while he mus,
absolve Earl de La War; OF the charge
OF bribery. he must hold that the earl
had wrongly tried to induce Mr.. Hooley
20 correct some statements made by him
in the bankruptcy proceedings and had
wrongfully promised 70 help Mrs Hoolsy.
Mr.. Hooley, the judge said, ought not
10 be regarded as g. mere liar, scattering
statements and accusations without foun-
dalton as had been suggested by the re-
spondents, but, as on the witness stand,
ne was rash, reckless and inaccurate, ap-
pearing sometimes 10 be suffering from
illusions in a n. peless attempt TO olsen
tangle the true from che false, his evil
dence was unsafe 70 act upon, especially
in case OF such Importance.
Mr.. Bradshaw's evidence as TO Earl de
La Wars proposal to help Mrs. HooIey
was remarkable. although Mr.. Bradshaw
had no cause TO testify falsely. Il must
be remembered. the judge continued, that
the earl had an overwhelming motive for
obtaining Mr.. Hooley's retraction. He
could not believe that il was out OF mere
charity that Earl de La War; had prom
Used Mrs. Hooley FL 900. On the contrary.
ne was forced to the conclusion that rsle
promise was connected with the earrs
strong and natural desire to clear him
self from HooIey's accusations. Neverthe-
less. he acquitted Earl de La War; OF the
imputation of inducing Mr.. Hooley TO tes-
tify falsely.
With regard 10 the alleged bribery. he
could not wholly absolve Earl de La WAR;
With regard TO the money the earl re-
ceived, possibly the latter believed II was
received for services rendered or as a
gift from Hooley. The judge said ne sup
posed that was generally the way names
were paid for. but as these proceedings
were only intended 70 vindicate justice
It would be sufficient punishment for Earl
de La Wars indiscretion If the court
ordered him TO pay the costs.
With reference TO Mr.. Broadley's case, /
Justice Wright considered him. he said, |
much more guilty IN asking Mr.. Hooley /
falsely TO say that he made a retraction |
without communicating with the Earl de /

Chicago, Aug. 17.-An advance today at

eral scale, mainly by shorts who seemed
disposed to take profits, started wheat

time September was worth only s54ze in

the result Of light offerings than neavy

WOOL MARKET.

Boston, Mass. Aug. 1.-THE American
Wool and Cotton Reporter will say to-
morrow OF the wool trade:
Taking the market as a whole the sit
uation is very quiet. Everything now
depends upon the goods market. which
still fails to respond to expectations The
sales this week may be considered sur.
prisingly large, in view OF the talk Of dull
business, which has been heard on every
side. AS a matter of fact, however, the
total has been materially enhanced by a
few large transactions. In point of num-
bers the sales seem TO be increasing from
week TO week, but the fragmeltary char
fcter of the sale is also apparent The
sales of the week in Boston amount TO
2, OPS 000 pounds domestic and 541 900 pounds
foreign making a total of 2, 565. 900, against
a total of 1888. 900 for the previous week
and total of 10 72O, 900 for the correspond
ing week last year. Sales since January
l. 1898, amount to 14.393.51o pounds, against
237, ISL 500 pounds at this time last year.

TOPS REMAIN AT $500

The Wichita hog market yesterday
ruled steady, with Tuesdays average
prices. The early reports from the other
western markets intimate1 some slight
degree of strength, and on this basis the
first sales Of hogs entered at the yards
were made. The wagon trade, always
the sole morning business, was transact
ed on these early reports. This branch
of the business yesterday was light along
with the car receipts, but what was offer
ed IN this division went at good strong
prices, the quality considered; s350Q3 IS
KNFere ruling prices for the local trade all
through their receiving, and the grade
considered, this was good fair price and
an indication of the tone of the market
The receipts for the day were so light
that II was not easy to formulate a quot
able market, but such as came in received
at all times prices fully in line with all
other markets. After the first bullish
messages were received the local trad
ing was at all times steady, with the aY-
erage prices for the day before. Later
the reports from abroad were downward,
and feeling Of easy sympathy followed
but as the bulk of the business was al
ready done. this did not materially affect
after sales. The tops for the day were
the same as on the day before, and the
bulk Of sales was practically the same,
indicating for some Of the early sales a
strong market, and for all the trading
for theday al least steady with the day
previous. The quality was just fair for
the day, and in average weight held its
own with any day lately. There wers no
really choice hogs received at the yards
IN all day, but such Us came in received
the best OF treatment, prices being paid
which were well up with Kansas City
The average weight for the day indicated
a very fair lot of hogs received, It beng
fully 37 pounds, against 216 pounds the
day before, and Us for the same day last
Week. However, there were not a few
coarse and heavy packer hogs mingled
with the better grades, which OF course
showed up the weight, but at the same
time lowered the grade of stock. AS has
been the case for some time, the demand
was considerably above the supply. all
the hogs offered being readily absorbed
by the Dold aPcking company, and more
hogs wanted than came in. The car stuff
was a little late in arriving, but all con-
signments were we'll taken care Of and
the stuff Immediately bid upon, weighed
up. and transferred. Dold took all the
stock in sight offered, and was on the
market for many more.
