DELAY OF CASES
ADDS TO CITY FINE

Respect for the ability of an attor-
ney to get them out of trouble in
court received a jolt yesterday morn
ing when Judge Morey added So each
to the fines of seven negroes who were
charged with gambling. The negroes
were all placed under arrest during
the night before and decided to en-
ploy lawyer to get them out of their
troubles yesterday morning. They
dubbed their finances and raised $50,
which they paid to an attorney to rep
resent them.
At the hearing, Captain Frank OBJ
Jected to the case taking so much
time of members of the police force by
the argument. Judge Morey decided
that the evidence proved the defend
ants guilty and added So to the Gus
tomary fine of 81 and costs for gam
bling for each man. When informed
the fine would be SIS and costs instead
of 81 and costs the negroes were not
favorably impressed with the aid Of
a lawyer in light offenses.

TIMES ARE BETTER
Trade in Several Primary Markets
Has Shown Increase.

tomorrow will say:
With inventories, which, because of
the drastic price decline of 1920, have
required more than ordinary time and
thought. out of the way, the trade
world has turned to the work OF get
ting new business in a more cheerful
tone of mind and with rather better
results than might some time ago have
been expected. In some cases the in
creased cheerfulness manifested is
more than of actually enlarged opera
tions, but in others and, in fact, in a
majority of instances something like
actual progress is discernible. For
one thing, wholesale trade in dry
goods, more especially cottons, but
also in silks and hosiery, has expand
ed, in quite a few primary markets,
the result partly of retailers replen-
ishing depleted stocks, partly of re-
cent deep cuts, especially in colored
cottons. having brought out more con-
fident buying, albeit in small lots and
for immediate delivery, and partly be-
cause of the growth of the belief that
these last cuts have gone the limit
and that lower prices are not to be
expected. Weekly bank clearings.

local traders were evidently disposed

commission house support seemed to
broaden on the decline and the Iar-

advance, selling up to 1887 or 81
points net higher and into new high
ground for the movement while May
sold at 1910 and July at 1856. Clos
ing prices were several points off from

piles.
Nor do surgical operations.
