Russia in Bad Plight

A committee of representatives of the trades and industry of Russia has issued statistical report on the in- dustrial activity of the empire for the last ten years which throws a gloomy light upon the present economic con- ditionS.
 Between 1901 and 1905 industrial companies with capital of over $S5,- 100000 went into liquidation and oth- CTS with capital of nearly S25, 1000, 900 made arrangements with their credi- tors. The average rate of dividend paid by most undertakings in recent years has been lower than the state bank rate of discount. Direct and in- direct taxation has risen 20 per cent to l9s. 2d., or S4.79 per head. The amount raised by this taxation in 1897 was S5Ol, 2S5, ,655 and in 1907, $7l3,517,- I25.

At recent sale in Mincing Lane about S25O,OOO worth was disposed of, but double that quantity remained on the docks.-New York Herald.

Individually Responsible

Toledo, Ohio-For the first time in the history of antitrust warfare the penalty of being a party to a trust has fallen upon individuals. The law that holds trusts conspiring to restrain trade illegal likewise holds the indi- uals working for such trusts criminals. So Joseph A. Miller, Roland A. Beard and Reuben Compton Lemon went to jail last week to start sentences of six months each under the State law for conspiracy against trade and the pre- vention of lawful competition.
 They raised the price of ice in To- ledo in the early part of 1906 from thirty-fve cents a hundred pounds for household use to fifty cents. A cores bonding raise was put in effect on ice used by grocers, butchers, saloon keep CTS, ice cream parlorS and other con- sumers of large quantities.
