found the company guilty Of a large
number of separate sales in violation
of the antitrust law. The court there
upon imposed fine on each separate
sale, and the aggregate of these fines
was $4,000.
Ex-Governor w. E. Stanley and
other attorneys for the International

an offense, was continuous, and that
each sale did not constitute a separate
offense. This contention he based on
the common law of England. The

overwhelming supply for the numerous
steamers eager to take these products
over the sea. Wheat supplied a crop

that of the previous year. Flax in
