NO MERITS In CASE
c. NJ. RAIDER CLAIMS THAT NO
CAUSE FOR ACTION EXISTS in
STUBSLEFiELD MATTER.
Other Lawyers Said to Coincide Witt
the Views Taken by the Executor
of the Estate.

In discussing the action brought by
Mcdonald & Rupp on behalf of Henry
White and Mary McElroy to break the
31st para graph of the Stubblefleld WILL
c. NJ. RAIDER. one of the executors OF
the Stubblefeld estate, said this morn
ing:
L consider that there is absolutely
no merit in the case whatever, l do
not make this statement on my opln-
ion alone. but by reason of the fact
that the same case brought by the
plaintiffs before being presented to
Mcdonald & RUpp had been offered to
at least six other Waila Walh attor-
neys who failed to see any merit In the
case and refused to bring an action. |
fail to see how the attorneys for the
plaintiffs can justify the bringing of
the action, as they dismissed practic-
ally the same case less than a week
ago.
AS the state supreme court had al
ready held that it is not improper to
allow a reasonable attorneys fee to the
contestants counsel where reasonable
grounds for action may exist. the trus-
tees of the estate took the view that
the estate could not afford to litigat6
the matter for the sum of $3.50, which
amount was demanded by the attorneys
as their fee and as a prerequisite tC
the dismissal OF the case. The present
case will be fought by the executors
and no compromise whatever made
Even if it does cost considerable tC
fight the case, the executors believe
the estate will be much benefited by
having the courts pass on the legality
of the will"

accounts are to be closed for the year,

THE WOOL
SITUATION
Market Remains Steady and
firm, Notwithstanding
Recent Furry

Domestic wool is steady and quite
firm, withstanding temporary
stock market panic.
Wool has been hardened in price
even under these conditions, as the
following diagram will show, and at
time VIXEN values for similar wool
abroad had begun to fall. This won
derful strength of our seaboard mar
kets was shown at a time when a

which induced caution on the part of
many, and forced the withdrawal
from market of some who were de-
pendent upon bank accommodations.
In view Of the enormous shrinkage
in values of, stocks, bonds and some
kinds of merchandise, Marshall Field,
of Chicago. may claim to have estab-
lished reputation for foresight, when
some weeks ago he declared that "as
the crest of the wave of prosperity
that begun in 1896 has been reached
and passed, his store would restrict
its purchases. Yet, taking all in ALL
we fail to see any evidence that gen.
eral business has passed the high tide
of activity, while there are many evil
dences that the tide of general pros
perity has reached higher level than
ever before, and continues to expand.
There is certainly no evidence that
business activity is on the down
grade. Railroad earnings during the
past month eclipsed all previous rec
ords, and they are an unfailing
barometer of the extent of business.
The shrinkages in values of stocks
and bonds manipulated in Wall street
do not prove that business is, on the
down-grade, and they are at worst
but enforced licuidations by stock
gamblers, owing to a tight money
market.
This is shown by the fact that loans
which merchants were solicited to
take last year at per cent. when
money was abundant. sare now taken
a. per cent because of its scarcity.
1t is surely time for congress to re-
consider the Aldrich bill of last ses-
sion or some other financial measure.
The aggregate bank clearings of the
cities outside of New York last week
were greater than those Of the same
week last year. This should accurately
express tue Situdtioh 40 W 6ohSA a
business, for Wall street stock oper-
ations are not reflected in the bank
transactions of other cities. Reduced
business and falling values in cities
outside of New York would instantly
be shown in the reduction of bank
clearings, but they have expanded and
show that the rising tide of general
and widespread business prosperity
continues.
The immediate and greatest obstacle
the wool trade has to contend with is
the lack of demand for textiles. The
American Woolen company at their
initial opening recognized this when
