GERMAN TRADE AND FINANCE.
RECOVERY IN IRON AND coA1. sHAREs-EAsIER
MONEY MARKET

MONEY MARKET.
Berlin May e0.-Last week began with rise IN
the money rate but this was followed by a corre
spending decline and the market is now easier
than It has been for several weeks. This condition
is explained by the fact that the banks have COM
PEELED their over-speculating customers TO close
out and have thus liberated much money. The
Reichsbank statement also had a favorable effect
upon the market. The reduced speculation causes a
light demand for money.
The reaction in coal and iron shares has been
checked. During the first OF the week violent de-
cInes continued the Bourse remaining under the
influence Of unfavorable American reports, but in
fuentaI leaders Of the German iron industry
pressed the opinion that American competition need
not be feared. and the excellent reports from
numerous Industrial concerns came in. with the
result that fresh confidence was given specu-
lators Ever since the recovery OF the market has
been rapid particularly the end Of the week, and
Yesterday witnessed heavy advances in irons and
coalers.
The market FOR Americans continues firm, North
ern Pacific common being especially in demand.

HAGERSTOWN. Nd. Dec 6.-The suit
of Cooper Bros, wholesale grocers. Of

Valley Railroad Company, was taken up
before the Circuit Court yesterday Suit
was brought for the non-delivery of a
tankcar O. coal oil purchased by Cooper
Bros of the Waverly oil Company, indie
pendent FefnerS. OF Pittsburg. and ordered
shipped TO HageTstoWn. Cooper Bros. hav-
ing previously. sold the oil for 9 cents a
gallon to the merchants here. The tank
car OF oil was switched of on a zig in
the northern suburbs. Previous tankcars
had been delivered TO Cooper Bros. within
the city limits. They refused to accept
this last tanlJcar Of oil, which was finally
sold By the railroad, who contended they
delivered the Oil where IL was ordered,
that they offered 20 send the oil to Win
chester or any point on the road. that they
offered TO pay Cooper Bros. for the oil
and that town ordinance prohibits the
storing OF oil in quantities within the city
limits.
Cooper Bros contend the Standard Oil
Company brought pressure on the railroad
company because the plaintiffs handled
Independent oil and Sold it at a lower
price than the Standards oil, and also
that the then city attorney for Hagers-
town Is also the attorney for the Standard
Oil Company.

Supreme Court has ordered the Standard

States Attorney General The latter is
seeking to have the company declared a
trust and to exclude it from doing bust

The court has already appointed referees
to take testimony but the company re-
fused to show its books. If this order is
not obeyed, the compaRy,s officers will
be convicted of contempt and brought
here il the Governors requisition is hon
ored. The company objected to the Su-
preme Courts jurisdiction. asserting that
it was a criminal case and not a civil ore.
This contention the court denies in the
following language:
Foreign corporations do business here
not by right, but by comfy, and the State
may at pleasure revoke the privilege
which it has granted such corporations.
The revocation of the privilege given a
foreign corporation to do business here
is not the infection of a penalty"
