SOUTH AFRICAN MARKET.
Enormous Increase in Business with
Great Britain's Merchants.

/ London, Nov 1.-THE Board of
Trade. today, issued an interesting blue
book containing the report of Henry
Brchenough, q writer on statistical and
political subjects, who was sent to
South Africa rs a special commission to
inquire into the present condition and
prospects OF British trade in that
country. In his report Commissioner
Peterborough lays stress on the magni-
tuda of the South African market
which he says, has increased $50 per
cent in the last 10 years, the greatest
increase, however, having been shown
in the last two years. The value of this
trade now exceeds the sum OF $235 ,0O0.-
600 and the commissioner says that the
rapidity with which South Africa has
come to the front as great merket for
the exploitation of British manufacture
ers is almost startling. During the last
year British exports exceeded $130.000
600.
The commissioner predicts that South
Africa, this year. will be the largest
buyer in the world of the produce and
manufactures of the mother country.
These facts, the commissioner says, will
make South Africa oneiof the greatest
factors in commercial and industrial
expansion. The present depression in
mining and in the general trade he con-
siders to be only temporary. The most
serious competitors of British manufac-
turers who. the commissioner says,
show a decided lackof vigor and enter
prise, are the manufacturers of the
United States and Germany.
Commissioner Birchenough points out
that competition from the United
States is materially aided by the low
freight rates ut which competing Brit
ish vessels carry American cargoes.
German competition is not as formid-
able except in the case of electrical ma

A COMPROMISE RUMoRED.
Hinted That United ShipbuiIding Case
Is Being Settled.

New York, Nov. 1.-THE Evening
Post. today, prints the following:
In the Wall Street district the i'm
preston has been general for several
days that a compromise in the United
States Shipbuilding Co, receivership
litigation depends solely upon an
agreement as to terms. 1t has seemed
evident that something looking to q
settlement of the long drawn litigation
with it's frequent APPOINTMENTS is GER
tainly afoot and it has been finally be-
lieved in many quarters that neither
Charles Nj. Schwab nor Max Pam will
ever be called to the witness stand.
There is reason to believe that the
hitch in the matter concerns the
Bethlehem Steel Co., the richest mem
Der OF the shipbuilding family. This
company was not in the combination at
the time for the issue of the first mort
gage bonds of the Shipbuilding Co., and
it is suggested that Mr.. Schwab, who is,
the Bethlehem Co., is not willing that
the Steel Co. shall be placed back of
these bonds. Nj. Schwab is understood
to be willing to list the first mortgage
Bondholders of the Shipbuilding Co.
share in the Sheldon reorganization
plan and keep the relative rank of their
securities; he is willing that these
bondholders shall pay their pro rata
amount of the new working cash capt.
tai, but he is not willing that the Beth
lehern Co. shall become security for the
bonds issued before it became a member
of the combination
Henry Wollman, counsel for the
bondholders of the company, said to
The Associated Press, tonight. There
are no negotiations for a settlement
pending No settlement of the pending
controversy will ever be made until q
new reorganization plan is agreed to
by our adversaries that fairly and
properly protects and takes care OF all

SERVED HIS PAPERS.
Lawyers Clerk Leaps Onto Stage to
Reach Mrs. Carter.

NV York. Nov. IA jealous law
yer's clerk has caused considerable eX
citement at Belascos theatre by leaping
to the stage from box and serving pa
pers on Mrs. Certer giving notice of a
suit for an injunction restraining the
Belasco management from producing
IN old play in this city. The curtain
had just been raised on the first act
when the clerk, elbowing his way
through a box occupied by several
ladies and their escorts, leaped to the
stage.
Mrs. Carter was about to begin her
lines when the documents were thrust
into her hands. For a moment she APP
peared greatly frightened by the intru-
sion and the clerk, driven back from the
wings by stage hands, was compelled to
leave by the way he came. He hurried
ly fled to the street and only few
persons in the audience saw the papers
and realized what had called the Incl
dent and it was sometime>before the ex-
element died out.
The suit is said to arise from a dis
pute with another manager and part
owner as to the rights for the play in
this city during the season.
