nothing to prevent broker from buying or

fall into disfayor. 4 broker suspected Of
having an interest in the rise or fall OF

Many MaTseilles brokers exercise great
influence. having special knowledge CT
articles like wheat and oil seeds. Their
emoluments are one-third OF 1 per cent
that is. twothirds OF per cent in all-on
principal staple commodities such as wheat,
oil, eds, raw cotton. and raw wool. and
on special articles from TO 2 per cent.
Cotton-oil brokerages are one-half of ]
per cent on each side for common oil. and
per cent on each side for table oil.
American importers have found 10 first
class brokers who will deal directly with
them and thereby save an agents commits
sion. From the American point OF view, it
is unnecessary, aggravating, and expensive
10 be Obliged to establish an agent on CON-
mission, who in turn must employ another
agent or broker TO finally secure the Gus
toner. However, this is the custom. and
a Marseilles business man writes TO me:
e A broker who works direct with for
eign country is no longer broker. but an
agent. He is in competition with other
importers. agents, or merchantmen. and
therefore is no longer employed by them.
Many brokers act as Intermediates not on
l. between Marssilles sellers and buyers.
but also buyers il the interior of France;
but their rule is 20 give the buyers name.
The seller forwards the goods and assumes
ali risks. There are brokers of all sorts.
but the ones who last the Longest are those
who fellow strictly the principles Of their
trade
"A frequent cause OF difficulty in opening
or extending trade relations in France is
the American rule Of requiring cash pay
ments. although the same firms give credit
in their home trade. The French custom
is TO give and take from ten TO ninety days
time, and any departure from that rule
necessarily involves more or less embar-
rassmeur.
1T is quite as safe 10 open IN account
with French merchants as with merchants
in the United States, by employing the
proper means. Unfortunately. the business
of supplying confidential commercial infor-
matiou is rot concentrated here. as in
America in The hands OF one or TWO con-
Germs of recognized authority. In Mar

when asking for reports. verify them by
utilizing both of their correspondents.
These agencies publish commercial directo-
ries. and supply special reports on de-

THE VALENTINE BANK CASE.
Six More Indictments Against the
Cashier.

NEW BRUNSWICK. y. j., Dec. 23.-The
fact that George NJ. Valentine. the cashier
who wrecked the Middlesex County Bank
at Perth Amboy. gave himself up. pleaded
guilty 10 embezzlement and was hurriediy
sentenced to six years in State Prison, is
not apparently TO end the matter of pun
ishment for him. The manner in which the
wrecker's case was disposed of brought a
heap of criticism because il was not known
20 what extent Valentines peculations had
gone, and it appeared to many of the vic
tins of the broken bank that he had gotten
of little too easily.
As a result of the agitation the Middlesex
county grand jury began an exhaustive in
yestigation of the banks affairs. and VAL
entine will have TO answer to six additional
indictments which were brought in last
night The report of Edward s. Campbell.
the receiver which was submitted TO the
grand jury, stated that the stealings of
Valentine amounted to $4,000. of which
amount $4,000 was the surplus held by the
National Park Bank, of New York. as a
reserve. and $50, 600. the amount of his over
drafts upon that institution.
Ii was at first supposed that his defal-
cations amounted to nearly 100000. The
report states that the bank lost considsra-
BILE upon bad loans to the dredging compa-
ny in which Valentine was interested.
Four of the indictments found against
Valentine were for embezzlsment and two
for making false entries. They were as
follows: For embezzling s1J,319.9S on De-
cember "a. 1898; for embezzling $500 On
June 81, 1899: making false entry on June
Poll
on a draft for $40, 1853 on May Is. 1899.
The presentment of the grand jury CEN
sures the board OF directors of the bank for
gross carelessness and negligence in the
performance of their duties. The banking
department of the State is also censured for
its negligence. John S. VOORHEES,, the
county prosecutor, has not determined
what course he will pursue regarding the
additional indictments against Valentine.

r. Quay and ea-sate Treasurer Haywood, To
have the proceedings against them ia the
Peoples Bank case transferred 10 another
county other than Philadelphia, was passed
upon by the Supreme Court this morning
when lengthy opinion was filed. They
refuse to grant the change OF venue. and the
defendants must therefore stand trial in the
Court Of Quarter Sessions in Philadelphia.
Expecting decision upon the hearing held
on Saturday, the Supreme court room this
morning was crowded and, unlike yesterday
they were not doomed to disappointment
Neither counsel for the defendants nor the
Commonwealth were present. As might ba
expected the politicians were guessing what
the decision would be, but even Senator
Quay's friends anticipated an uufavorable
decision. IL is said the court stood 10 .
against granting the prayer Of the peti-
tioners.
A prominent Quay man said, Immediately
after the decision was rendered, that the At
torneys for Senator Quay would push for an
early trial of the case, so that's verdict may
be had before the balloting for United States
Senator is ended. They are confident that
they can maintain the deadlock until the
Senator is acquitted, which, they are conf
