says:
Little change appears in the COM
mercial situation, but progress is in
the right direction so far as any diff
ference can be discerned. Recent
gains are maintained in almost every
instance. Wholesale and jobbing
houses are preparing for the future
most conservatively. Mercantile col
lections are irregular, some districts
reporting fairly prompt settlements.
but at other point payments are
slow.
On the whole, the iron and steel
industry is in better position than
a week ago, although new contracts
are placed with much caution.
Aside from a moderate demand
for prompt shipments Of novelties or
special constructions, the primary
market for cotton goods is duh.

Richmond, Va, Sept. S.-Evi-
dences are now that the Rhea case
and the argument incident thereto
have been completed, that the Bris-
tol judge viii be confirmed as
member of the state corporation
commission either today or Monday.
1t is probable that one or two of the
members. will dissent from the popu-
lar committee decision, and in this
event ii is almost assured that a
minority report will be presented to
the general assembly.
About half of the members of the
two houses OF the legislature were
approached in regard to their opin-
ion, and those who would talk at all.
seemed to be confident in their con
victions that Gov. Swansons nomi-
nee would be vindicated and con-
firmed.
= Yesterdays hearing of witnesses
1served TO produce nothing of spec
tacular nature and nothing was ad-
duced that had not hitherto been
heard.
Senator Noel, OF Lee, opened the
argument for the prosecution. the
committee ruling that one hour and
forty-fve minutes should be allowed
TO each side. Noel consumed thirty
minutes. He spoke until half past
five O'Clock and at the end of his
speech the committee adjourned un-
I'll O'Clock. Attorney Irvine. for
Judge Rhea, conducted his argument
in plain, firm and convincing man
ner, outlining the character Of the
man he had been called upon to de-
fend. He did not dwell in extended
detail upon the charges brought BY
the prosecution, as in his words.
These men, have undertaken to
prove facts which the evidence be-
fore this committee do not substanti-
ate"
There was 10 applause during the
hearing and as Mr.. Irvine took his
seat there were mmrmurs through
out the hall that Judge Rhea had
been vindicated. Attorney BuUitt I'm
opening his argument faced a doubt
full position. Sentiment was against
him, and no one appreciated IT bet
ter than he. His remarks were fiery
and took every charge brought as
proven. Some ctrcumstantlally and
others by direct Testimony.
He undertook in his argument to
connect every particle OF evidence
and where there was a missing link
he supplied 50 and went ahead. The
argument did not end until nearly
midnight, when the committee stated
that they would weigh the evid dance
and report as early as possible. As
today is Saturday, and many mem
bers Of The general assembly are alb
sent, it is probable that the matter
