LAW COURT DECISION.

The following rescripts drawn by
Judge Savage, in a Penobscot county
case of Edwin c. Swift VS.. ]. H. Win
chester, was handed down from the
Maine law court, Thursday:
A discharge in insolvency is void as
against nonresident creditors who
have not made themselves voluntarily
and consenting parties to the proceed
ing by proving their claims, accepting
dividends. or otherwise.
The effect of a discharge in insol-
vency depends upon the authority of
the court which granted it, and not
upon the conduct of the parties.
The true ground upon which such a
discharge is void as against non-resi-
dent creditors is that the insolvency
court has not jurisdiction over them.
Though the debt in suit was con-
tracted with the plaintiffs, while doing
business in this State under a name
and style which did not disclose their
identity, nor their residence, and by
which the defendant was led to believe
that he was dealing with resident
concern. the defendants discharge in
insolvency is not n bar.
Judgment for plaintiffs for $191.24 and
interest from the date of the writ.
Addition ~ Mason appeared for the
plaintiff and ID. ID. Stewart for defence.

Fiiian Soldiers Make Striking Scene
at Buckingham Palace.

London. July 3.-Everything points to
convalescence of the King. 1t is ex-
pected that the bulletins regarding his
condition will soon be reduced to one q
day. Small crowds now haunts the
bulletin boards at buckingham palace,
which is en- indication that public con-

physician now remains at the palace
throughout the night and all of His
MaieSty'S doctors are able to attend to
the more pressing portion of their pri-
waite practices. Sir Fredk. Treves alb
scented himself from the palace, today,
to attend the wedding of his only
daughter to Maj. Define Radcliffe.

prince of Norway and Prince Komatsu
of Japan. Both were seen off by
gatherings of distinguished persons at
the station.

day: a big brake loaded with Fijian
soldiers drew uD in front of the palace.
The men were bare-lcgged and bare
headed: their friZZy hair was long and
dyed, and with their white cotton
skirts and quaint tunics, they presented
a strange spectacle. In front of the
palace the Fijians chanted solemnly
a hymn of intercession in their native
tongue which had been composed for
the occasion.

trade.
Warmer dry weather is Imperative
ly needed in the Northern and West
EN- sections Of the country if slim
mer trade is to reach its full develop
ments. Eastern cities note the check
given by the weather to retail trade
and the summer resort business.
Grain markets have been consider
ably excited, this week. by the heavy
and almost torrential rains reported
in the central West. kilograms from
Texas points show that the long
standing drought has been pretty eff
fectuGlly broken. In the lower Mis-
sissippi valley, cotton crop conditions
are apparently improving.
While trade in dry goods, boots and
shoes and summer wear of all sorts
is restricted, the dawn of. better
things is apparently seen in shoes and
raw wool. Raw wool is in quite ac-
tive demand at the West and is firm
er in tone at the East where stocks
are small and manufacturers who have
been out of the market for some time
are reported in need of supplies. I.um-
Der is rather quiet at the East. The
situation has not changed materially
in industrial lines.
Wheat, including flour. exports for
the Ave days ending July 2, oggre-
gate 3,211,215 bushels, against 3,3S2.701
bushels, last week, and 3,7S7,639 bush
els in this week, last year. Corn eX-
ports aggregate 127,969 bushels,
against 13e,102 bushels, last week, and
2,240.933 bushels. last year.
Good crop prospects and more fla
vorable weather have helped corn
trade. Recorders of summer goods
and fall orders are good at Montreal,
where failures are few and collections
good Business is satisfactory at
Ton onto, recorders are larger. Rail-
way earnings show heavy increases.
Fall orders are increasing at British
Columbia markets but collections are
only fair The good outlook for the
talk of the 00,C00,000 bushel
of wheat ir Manitoba and the North
west territories is stimulating trade,
helping fall business. Fully $4,000 new
settlers are estimated to have come TO
the Canadian Northwest, this spring.
Failures in Canada for six months
numbered sos, with liabilities of
s.. 1O3,4O4, decrease of Is per cent.
in number and of 90 per cent. in liahili-
