The News comes back at It's
neighbor by a statement thal
"whatever financial difficulties
the News may have found itself
in during the past few years
have been caused by the mis-
management of the man who is
now most active in spreading
these false reports and uses
some very strong words in MAX
ing the assertion, so strong in
deed that the former editor OF
the News, J. D. Smull, now con-
necled with the Review, has in
stituted a civil suit for damages
of $4,000 from the owners Of the
Grant County News. and also
started a criminal libel suit
against George NJ. Fosburg, who
is the present manager OF the
News, and who signed the article
in question.
The criminal papers were serv.
ed during the week and Mr.. Eos
burg was taken before Judge
BIeser for a preliminary, and
pleading not guilty was released
on his own recognance to appear
at November term of circuit
court. The civil suit will prOba.
bly, not be tried at the coming

WHOLESALE TRADE
 IS IMPROVING High Prices and the Bad Weather Have Been Hold
 ing Business Back

Continued fair weather after so much rain has brought a stimulus in the wholesale trade of Morris avenue. Busi- ness has not been up to expectations or to the usual early December volume. but the dealers assert that 1t is due to the weather which has prevailed since the beginning of the month. An other factor in the general slump is that prices during the9 past summer and fall have steadily advanced, and it Is believed that unless there is some decrease in prices of the various food commodities the demand is not likely to show any material improvement.
 Yesterday prices showed advances on meats, hay and grain and produce. There were no reductions. The price of fish and poultry held steady notwith- standing the overstocking of the mar kets Yesterdays wholesale quotations follow:
