NINE. HENRlETTE CAiLLAUX
FOUND NOT GUILTY

Paris.-Madame Henriette Caillaux
was acquitted Tuesday night by a jury
in the court Of assize of the wilful
murder on March 16 last of CASTOR
Calmette, editor of the Figaro. The
verdict wa sreturned after so minutes
elaboration. The announcement was
followed by the widest tumult.
Madame Caillaux staggered and
then threw her arms about the neck
of her counsel, Fernando Labori. Her
hair was undone, falling over her
shoulders, and her hat dropped to the
floor. The spectators stood upon the
desks and chairs. "Caillaux!" "Labo'
ri!" and cries of "Caillaux, assassin"
merged into me
The din was ~deafening. Several
groups of barristers came to blows
and the republican guards, in an en-
deavor to separate them, Joined in the
melee. The spectacle OF Labor and
Chenu, the latter counsel for the Cal
mette family, embracing each other,
Gained the tumult for a moment, but
it was redoubIed when they left with
Nine. Caillaux.

EXCITEMENT AT PARIS TRIAL
Two of Four Judges at Murder Trial
Would Fight Duel.

Paris--Madame Henrietta Caillaux,
whose trial for the killing OF CASTOR
Calmette has provided many thrills for
for Paris, tainted while her hus-
bands love letters, written to her be-
fore his divorce from Nine. Gueydan,
were read in court Saturday. She re-
covered after an hour, and although
in the dock the remainder of the sit
ting seemed scarcely conscious of what
was going on. The evidence, after
the love letters, wandered off into dis
cussions by surgeons as to whether
M. Calmette could have been saved by
an immediate operation.
A remarkable feature of the proceed
ings is the quarrel which has arisen
between the presiding judges of the
court, Louis Albanel, and Judge Louis
Dagoury, of the three other judges
sitting on the bench with him, as q
result Of which a challenge to a dual
has been sent by Judge Albenal to his
colleague. Spectators and lawyers
siezed upon this toothsome morsel,
differing in all respects from other
offering of the trial.

The effect Of the new tariff is strik-
ingly shown in the case of meat i'm
ports. According to the foreign COM
merce returns Of the United States,
the total imports of fresh meat from
October 3, 1913, the date when meat
became duty free, until the end Of
April was $~10,550,914. OF this amount
S $1,000, 900 represented beef and $780,
900 mutton and lamb. In the pre-
vious year there were no imports of
fresh meat, the duty being prohibit
tive. These figures over a period Of
seven months only.
1t is generally a better plan, SO far
as self-interest is concerned, to decline
to do a customer a favor altogether
than to do it hesitatingly and grudg-
ingly. A frank, business-like refusal
does not rankle as deeply as a conces-
sion that has the earmarks Of carry
ing with it either ill-will or suspicion.

The Pacific Northwest has made
more rapid gains in population, in
wealth and in withdrawing activi-
ties than any other section OF the
United Staes during the past two dec
AIDES. Because of the extent and value
of it's undeveloped resources, the OPP
portunities presented for profitable in
vestment of capital, the prosecution of
enterprise and the creation of new
homes for people who are less fortu-
nately situated, there is every reason
to believe that this record will be
maintained. Temporary depression
only serves to give added stimulus to
the rebound that accompanies the re-
turn Of normal conditions, and to di-
rect activities into new channels of
greater permanence. There is a bright
future for the business that keeps pace
with the progress that attaches to its
environment in the great North Pa
cific country.

Expectation of war between Aus
tria-Hungary and Servia and the sub
sequent declaration demoralized the
markets of the world. In Vienna the
bourse had been closed since Satur-
day, but there was a heavy run on
the Austrian Savings bank, the most
important in the dual monarchy.
in Paris the commercial exchange
suspended all dealings in grain, sugar
and other commodities and exchange
on London and private discount for
the first time in years were not
quoted.
In Berlin runs on savings banks be-
gun yesterday, grew heavier.
In London, after the close of the
stock market, stocks tumbled on the
curb.
News of the declaration reached this
country while markets were in session.
With it came an avalanche of foreign
selling on the New York stock ex-
change. Leading securities slumped
from 5 to 20 points and conditions
paralleled in their intensity the do

The stock exchanges of Montreal

General Trade Conditions.

Bradstreet's says: Reports this
week spell betterment, moderate in
some instances, but totaling sufficient
to deserve mention. Needed rains
have fallen in some districts. The
general crop situation has improved
rather than refrigerated, as is not un-
usual in July.
There is evidence also that opti-
mistic sentiment as to the future of
trade and industry is more widespread
than at any previous time this year.

crease of 10 per cent over last year.

failures 304, against 231."
Dun's review says: Actual prog
ress in business is still slow, yet with
the trend in the right direction, optim-
ism is becoming more pronounced.
The improvement in sentiment is pri-
marily due to the prospect of another
year Of bountiful harvests. Apparent.

minated and sterling exchange has
