GREAT PROFIT IN RUGS.
Witness TestificS That One Costing
$16 Sold for $4,000.

New York Times.
Secrets Of the rug business were
told yesterday when the suit Of Paul
NJ Allo against Nitell Benguiat and
Leopold Benguiat, dealers in antique
rugs, for commissions came TO trial
before Justice Golf Of the Supreme
Court. Mr.. AllO said that between the
years of 1905 and 1913 he had sold
S880,0O0 worth of rugs for the de-
fendantS with the understanding that
he was to receive l per cent commits
sion, besides a salary Of s25 a week.
The defendants admitted the SALARY.
but denied any aSreement for the pay
ment of commission.
Mr. AllO said he first entered the
employ Of the defendants in 1900. but
quit in 1904 and went to France. To
show that he was worth more than the
weekly wage paid him, he said that
the defendants, when he sailed away,
gave him S5.00C. which made total
of S131S5 he had received during his
four wears employment, or an aver
age Of more than $4,000 q year. Tie
re-entered the employ Of the defend
ants in 1905 on the old terms.
In reply to questions by his coun-
sci Max D. Steuer, Mr.. AllO said enOr-
nous profits were made in the rug
business. To illustrate. he told Of one
rug that had been bought in France
| for SIS and brought TO this city, where
| it was sold for s12 600. Another rug
bought in England for $3.50 sold here
for $4,000.
The jury gave the plaintiff a verdic
| for S.O91, which included interest enc
| costs.
