CHICAGO.

r. G.. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of
trade in the Chicago district says:
Easter trade in personal needs rose to
satisfactory proportions and retail sales
generally made a s~eaSonable recovery,
higher temperature stimulating the de-
mand in leading lines. Favorable wealth
er conditions at interior points induced a
wider absorption of light weight apparel,
and there is increase in the receipt of re-
orders requiring Immediate shipment.
Late buyers have found the reduction
of stocks better than was expected and
many now find il difficult to obtain all the
goods required. Visiting merchants from
the Northwest select more freely in the
principal staples ard report their local
conditions Frightening, there being a large
inflow of settlers and numerous new
towns ~springing up under the influence
Of railroad extensions through promising
territory.
Forwarding by the wholesale houses
continues exceptionally large in dry goods,
food products. housewares and hardware,
and there is also increasing activity in
vehicles, camping and sporting goods.
Mail orders from road men make an iI.-
proving exhibit i'll clothing, woolens, foot
wear and furniture for fall deliveries, and
the outlook affords more encouragement
with the sustained high prospects in ag-
riculture. Provisions disclose some de-
cline in the east-bound tonnage, foreign
orders being smaller, but there is return
ing strength in the markets for hides and
leather, and wool displays increasing con-
sumption.
Mercantile collections in the West and
Southwest make a good showing, bank de-
posits steadily grow and further ease APP
pears in the discount rate for accommo-
dation. Financial conditions do not in
dictate that liquidation has run its course,
but commercial defaults include none of
notable significance, and the volume of
payments through the banks again is seen
ago.
Operations in the prominent manufac-
lures present. no material change as to
production. More interest is noted in
real estate and construction. Shipments
of lumber have gained and more hands
find work in the yards and at planning
mills. Furnace and plate mill outputs
remain much less than normal, but addi-
tional contracts for rails and structural
steel extend the period of assured activ-
ity. ..s.
Failures reported in the Chicago dis
trict number p, against 20 last week and
II a year ago. Those with liabilities over
$4,000 number 6, against 10 last week
and . in 1907.

lin old English law. the names of two
or more fictitious persons entered on the
records of a. court as sureties for the
appearance of a defendant in a civil
action, constituted straw bail In early
times a defendant was first served with
a summons, and If he did not appear he
was considered to be guilty of contempt
of court. for which the sheriff arrested
him under a "capias," and he was
obliged to give bail for his appearance.
Gradually, through the change of prac-
tfse in serving only one process and the
Indulgence of the courts, this became a
mere formality, and the fictitious names
of "John Doe" and Richard Roe were
entered as sureties. This was known
as common or straw bail" This

Whose gods are "Cotton'/and ship

To crush him or carry, for woe or veal.

AS the innings come one by one,
But with hardly an eyelid's flicker
Though the club be doing or done.
We may feel our thanks

We may smile the more

But the ticker to us is a loom which

And we're glad Of its yarn, no matter

THE JURY SYSTEM.
10 the Editor of the Evening Star:

10 the Editor of the Evening Star:
What was the origin of our present
jury system? A. f. N.
1.-THE seed of our present form of trial
by jury may be found in a law of
Ethelred IL, who began to reign in 97S,
binding the sheriff and twelve promi-
nent thames to swear that they would
neither acquit n criminal nor con-
Wet any innocent person. In 117s the
jury system was very imperfect, the
jurors being essentially witnesses, dis
tinguishable from the other witnesses
only by the oath they were obliged to
take. Centuries were to pass before
the complete separation of the func-
tons of juryman and witness was eff
fected.-Ed.1
