CITY'S TRADE IN 1907.
Chamber of Commerce Reports Con-
serUatiUe Tendencies.

The fifteenth annual report of the New York
Chamber of Commerce. compiled by Secretary
George Wilson was made public yesterday Sta
pies discussed in the report coffee, tea
tobacco, breadstuffs, provisions and petroleum. and
imports and exports of precious metals
OF sugar the report says that the monetary
stringency conspicuous in 1907 did not seri-
ously affect its trade, and sellers had since been
able obtain better prices slight increase in
consumption a moderate falling off in production
and an advance in prices the important feat
ures that have characterized the course of all
trades.
The coffee trade has been conservative. says the
report, and values for the year have developed an
easier tendency. The plan of the Brazilian gov
ernment in buying the excess coffee crop Of last
year. amounting to 70 per cent Of the regular crop
helped to maintain values in that staple The re-
port points that the crop of the present year
will yield approximately 10,125000 bags. and that
of year, in all probability, the same. The tea
business, it says has been moderate. and snip
ments have resulted disastrously for importers
The total value of foreign commerce in the port
of New York for 1907 placed at ST. .l4, 4Z
an increase of $1G. .434.6SS over 1906. compared
with an increase of s93,312,613 in 1906 over 1900

CLIFFORD ADMITS BRIBE.
First Surprise in Trial of Er-Alder-
man Peters for Perjury.

Ex-Alderman Henry Clay Peters came up FOR
trial yesterday before Justice Gor. in the Grim
1nal Branch of the Supreme Court, on charge
of perjury in connection with the hearing be-
fore magistrate on the alleged bribery OF MS
Fellow Municipal Ownership League alderman.
William s. Clifford. But before the jury had
been drawn Abraham Levy stepped forward and.
as counsel for ex-Alderman Clifford said that
Clifford wished to enter plea of guilty on the
bribery charge, which consisted in receiving
so,ooo from morning newspaper reporter, who
represented himself as working in behalf Of
those who wished to elect ex-Judze Cowins Re
corder to fill the vacancy made by the elevation
of Recorder Golf to the Supreme Court
Mr. Levy said: Clifford is example of the
politically ambitious. He has been deserted by
all his friends. There is nothing for him to do
but plead guilty" Mr.. Levy then asked that he
have until to-day before entering the plea. be-
cause he wanted to confer with Clifford. The
court granted this request
The jury in the Peters case was drawn quickly.
and the second interesting event of the day
came late in the afternoon, when ex-Alderman
Francis ]. ONeill testified that he had no recol-
lection of the things he had said in an affidavit
signed by him in February, 1901 In his aff1-
davit he had deposed that on meeting Peters in
the committee room Of the Board of Aldermen.
after there had been voting on John Palmieri for
Recorder, Peters said, I'VE going to vote for
Cowing to-day
do you swear Assistant District Attorney
Smyth asked. that he did not say We're going
TO vote for Cowing to-day'?"
IT do not" said the witness loudly.
will you say under oa,i. you have no recol-
lection of it?''
II will, sir was the sharp reply.
That was the outcome Of most Of the qucs-
tions. Mr. Smyth permitted to show O'Neill
his affidavit of sixteen months ago. When his
attention was called to various statements in
the affidavit Mr.. ONeill said that if he said
them then they must have been so. but most Of
them had since slipped from his memory. His
cross examination by Adolph Ruger, counsel for
Peters was not reached. because the exhaust OF
steam outside the courtroom windows near the
excavating work began to make so much noise
that the trial was adjourned until to-day.
Ex-Alderman Peters was nattily dressed and
seemed as clipper and happy as on the day
when he described himself one Of the three
intellectual giants of the Board of Aldermen
After kissing his wife goodby he was taken
across to the Tombs for the night.

PHILADELPHIA SCANDAL HEARINGS.
Alleged That Senator Penrose Paid Half
Cost of Expose" Never Made.

Philadelphia, June 23.-Hearings were held here
to-day in the controversy involving State Senator
J. P MCNichol. D. Clarence Gibboney secretary
of the Law and order Society. and Max Kauf-
mann. former secretary to Mayor Reyburn. The
imbroglio grew of political speech made by
Senator McNichol, in which he alleged that he
gave Kaufman, Gibboneys agent. $4,000 to
expose the administration of Mayor Weaver in
1905 by raiding gambling houses The exposure
was never made. There We're denialS and counter
charges made, all of which resulted in Kaufman
ha wing MCNichol arrested for criminal libel. The
Senator in turn caused the arrest of Kaufman
for perjury and Gbboney for criminal libel
All the cases have been sent to court for trial.
The hearings heretofore held and those held to-
dav brought much that was interesting to
followers of local politics One interesting piece of
evidence given by McNichol was the allegation that
United States Senator PenrOse contributed half
of the $4,000 which. McNchol says. went to Kauf-
mann in payment for the expose which
uIan McNicho alleges, Kaufman never carried
ont Senator AIcNichol denied to-day that he ever
paid money the late Mayor Ashbridge or that
he had any improper connection with the famous
Sater Jury.
