consigned to the cemetery.
OF the 80 bills introduced in that
body, 81 we're passed, while six of the
latter have been killed in the house.
OF the remaining 81, they have either
been passed or are still pending. OF
the PA introduced in the house, SO
passed that body, but eight Of the lat.
ter number were killed in the senate.
The senate has killed 16 of its
bills, while the house has killed % in.
PRODUCED in the house. The house
committees still have in their possess
sion l3S house bills, while the sen ate
committees have p senate bills.
Today's payday exhausted the ap.
preparation of 500, 600 which was made

ness Conditions.
Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, Md, July 1.-R G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade for Baltimore,
issued today. states:
Trade for the week has been seasonably
active, and collections are generally good.
Retail trade shows some improvement,
though the volume of business for the sea-
son does not compare favorably with last
year. There Is renewed activity in dry
goods at wholesale, drummers sending in
good orders from the road while current
local business is of substantial proportions,
and collections are fairly good. Clothing
manufacturers are encouraged by the good
business done on the road for the first fall
trip; cancellations are fewer than last year
and the outlook appears favorable.
Cotton crop reports from the south in
dictate generally smaller crop. especially
in Texas, where rains have been excessive.
Trade in hats and caps is normally
good. and boot and shoe jobbers are well
employed. Considerable improvement is
noted in leaf tobacco, the demand being
better and collections prompt, with values
firm. This Is the dull season In furniture
and orders are comparatively light. Col
lections are slow and manufacturers are
preparing for their annual stOck-taking
1.-The outlook in lumber is decidedly good,
trade being unusually active and collections
exceptional. There is brisk demand for
stationery and paper, but collections are
poor and prices unsettled.
The canned goods prospect is not bright,
the low price of tomatoes having reacted
on other goods. The present indications
point to short crop, however. and prices
are expected to advance all along the line
The spot market is very dull and collections
unsatisfactory. Machinery trade has fallen
off to some extent, though supplies are in
fair demand

rev Gays ago handed down what is thought
10 De the hrst decision of the kind ever
known IN virginia, the main point of which
is that under certain conditions wife is
responsible for her husbands debts The
case was that of Joseph W. solenbereer
against his brother Noah w. Solenbereer
and wife. in which the plaintiff sought TO
collect a judgment of $1,000 from his
brother.
Moan w. Solenberger is insolvent but his
wlfe is wealthy, according to the deeds to
several large and valuable fruit farms in
this county. Her husband according 10 tho
bill of the plaintiff, had brought these farms
INTO a high state of cultivation and pro-
ductiveness by his skill as a fruit grower
and claimed that the defendant, ~ w. Sol
enberger, was entitled to valuable consid-
GRAFTON for his services, so that the said do
PENDANT could be held responsible for the
judgment. o
After hearing evidence and elaborate ar
guments by eminent counsel the court de-
cided that Mrs. Noah w Solenbereer
should pay her husband certain sums SO
that his brother could realize his claim.
