FINANCE AND TRADE


In Most Lines Business Continues to
Expand.
New York. Oct N.-R. g. Dun 4
Co.'s weekly review Of trade says: In
most lines Of business continues to ex-
pand, though In some there are signs
that buying has been checked. either
because prices have outrun the views
of buyers or because recent purchases
have been so heavy that nobody Ia left
In need. Prices are still advancing In
almost every line. supported by rising
prices Of materials. and works every
where are still crowded to their ut
most capacity. while at many points it
IL found hard to get enough competent
hands. But the volume of business ex-
Pressed In values rises much more
thaa prices, showing q remarkable in
crease in quantities Of goods ex-
changed.
The outbreak of the war in South
Africa has brought no such changes
as many feared. In England the mar
kets have treated 1t as an event al
ready over discounted, and relations
with this country were not appreciabiy
affected. The outgo Of cotton is Just
now checked, but Of other great
staples and manufactured products the
foreign demand Is surprisingly sus-
tained.
Bradstreet's review says: More near
ly, perhaps, than ever before does the
volume Of general trade and industry
tax existing transportation facilities
han61jnR tho aame FroE1 pearlv all
parts Of the country, but particularly
from the west and south. come reports
OF Car scarcity. Some Of this c0a-
gestion seems to be the result Of a
diversion Of traffic ordinarily carried
on by water routes to already crowded
railroads.

Ingham and Harvey <. hewitt.
An APPEAL FOB A NEW TRIAL.

Pending q Decision the Appeal the
Bali OF the Defendants IL Increased
From 100000 10 $40, O0O-The Jury
Was Ont Two Days.
Philadelphia, Oct. 21.-Ellery P.
Ingham, ex-United States district at
torney, and Harvey X. hewitt, his law
partner and former assistant district
attorney. were yesterday found guilty
of conspiracy and bribery in connection
with the revenue stamp counterfsiting
plot headed by William NJ. Jacobs and
William L. Kendig, the Lancaster cigar
manufacturers. The case was given to
the Jury at O'Clock Wednesday after
noon, and the verdict was returned at
1 O'Clock yesterday afternoon. When
the jury retired after Judge McPher-
sons charge they stood eight to four
for conviction. but after the third bal
lot one of the four who stood out for
acquittal Joined the majority. and
from that time until an agreement was
reached three of the jury insisted that
a verdict of not guilty be rendered.
These three finally reversed their opin-
ion yesterday afternoon after the Jury
came into court and asked for instruc-
tions regarding certain mooted ques-
lions.
On two previous occasions the Jury
announced that they were unable to
agree, but each time they were sent
back by Judge MCPHERSON, who insist
ed that they endeavor to reach ver-
~ ia hA t,,t,
men sent message to the judge ask
ing these questions:
"ls secret service operative an Of
flcer Of the government"
Would the payment of money to
Operative McMenus by Mr.. hewitt con-
stitute bribe?"
WAS the employment of McManus
In the capacity Of private detective
in the nature Of bribery"
SIS it probable that men of Ingham
and Newitt's standing would attempt
to bribe?"
After receiving the message Judge
Mcpherson sent for the jury and an
swered the questions. He said that
the counts in the indictment which
charged bribery Of a government officer
had been withdrawn. McManus, he
said, Is an employe Of the government
in the meaning of the section Of the
revised statutes under which the in
dictment was drawn. If the money
was paid to McManus for information
concerning the government, his honor
announced, 1t constituted bride. II
McManus was employed in good faith
as a private detective there was no
bribery. In answer to the last ques-
ton Judge Mcpherson said the matter
Of probability should not be discussed
by the jury. as 1t had no part In the
evidence.
The jury then retired, and few min
utes later rendered their verdict, with |
recommendation for mercy.
A, s. L. Shields. counsel for the de- |
PENDANTS, made an appeal for new
trial. The bail of the defendants was in
creased from $4,000 to $4,000, and !
was furnished by Alexander Palfour,
paper manufacturer of this city, and |
William H. Clark. cashier of the Qua
ker City National bank.
The trial covered period Of II days,
and owing to the prominence of the de-
PENDANTS attracted widespread atten-
ton. Mr.. Ingham is at present special
counsel for the government, and repre-
scented the United States in the famous
