in the patept. Suit was filed at
| Georgetown on June 9. 1881, and
under the statute She was entitled
TO recover for, three years prior. or
June 8, 192SaTfI h0p
In the beginning IL was shown
that one Charles D. Shaffer, of Chi
cago, owned half interest in the
patent and later assigned his inter
est to Mrs. Emerson.
The defendants claimed that in
December, 1927, an agreement was
made whereby the royalty was re-
duced from IS cents to 1919 cents
per joint.
There were 11O4 joints TO which
additions had been made by the de-
fendant company on which the roy
atty totaled S13S. The additions
were said TO be in the form OF shafts,
which i'm no way affected the Emer-
son invention, but did make a ma
terial difference in the sale price.
Therefore, the suit narrowed down
to three items, the first being for
S139, 9,2S4.50, the second for S6,335-75
and the third for $13S, with interest
from February 3. 1881. 1t was agreed
to by the attorneys on both sides
that interest should be calculated
from February 8. 1881, to date, in
event that a verdict was given for
the plaintiff.
Upon return of the verdict, Attor-
ney Mahaffy made a motion for a
now trial and Judges Richard $.
Rodney and Charles S. Richards,
sitting in the case, gave until May
10 to file the reasons.

NEW YORK, January 21.-The Curb

Dividend actions and earning reports

Brokers' Comment

NEW YORK. January 21.-The
opinion in most brokerage circles to-
day was that activity on the stock ex-
change would continue highly restrict
ed. Some, however, believed there
would be further attempts to pierce
immediate resistance levels.
Hamershlag, Borg & Cot appears
doubtful If prices can rise above the
trading range within which they have
now fluctuated for almost four months,
until there is expectation Of better news
from Washington.
Frazier. Jelke & Coin stocks there
Is no pronounced trend. The market
is very thin both ways, even in issues
which are closely traded as q rule,
Much Of the activity appears to be In
the nature of switching by large hold
ers. particularly investment trusts.

favor the start of rally more impor-
tant in extent and duration than any
experienced the past two weeks, and
should prove worthwhile following.
Clark, Childs & Keech. We see
nothing which disturbs us sufnciently
to believe that holdings should not be
increased. Our advice to hold any buy
is continued.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 21.-Bank
clearings continue slightly higher this
week. While the decline, compared with
the record Of a year ago, still is quite
marked, especially at some Of the larger
cities; it is again less significant at
other important centers. The total for
this week at all leading cities in the
United States, as reported to r. G. Dun
& Co, of S4,453,1 $4,000 was 24.2 per
cent below that Of last year. At New
York City the amount was S3,0l9,58o,-
900, which was 26 per cent less, while
the aggregate for the cities outside of
New York of S1,433,554, 900 was pol
per cent smaller
Bank clearings this week exceed
those of the preceding week by $45, 1885,
900. whereas a year ago there was de-
cline Of 81, 1900 Again. the improve
ment mainly is ct the outside centers.
The reduction this week is the heaviest
at New York, Boston, Pittsburgh. Chi
cago, Detroit and Cleveland. At Phlla-
delphia clearings again show an in
crease. while at Richmond they were
also slightly higher than they were last
year. At practically all Of the South

than heretofore.

WHOLESALE BUYING
ORDERS ON INCREASE
Recent National Conventions in

Of Purchasing.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 21.-An influx
Of buyers to national conventions Of
trade organizations broadened purchases
in the wholesale markets here this
week, but the mild weather slowed the
demand for heavyweight clothing and
other seasonable goods, retail stores
report.
Recent reductions in coffee and soap,
along with increased sales stats on
the road and wider advertising. have
helped swell sales Of grocery jobbers
in such lines as beverages, packaged
cereals, -four, sugar, starch, syrups.
canned vegetables and fruits.
Reports from road salesmen have
heartened makers Of mems and boys
clothing. Consuming centers continue
to call for small shipments Of raw
cotton, yet the cheapness Of that COM
modify makes it possible to offer per-
Gales and other types Of cotton dresses
at record low prices, with the result
that such merchandise Is moving.
As long as general industrial opera
tions remain limited, coal demand will
be light, but 1t showed some better
ment this week. Crude oil and gaso-
line stocks increased, resulting in
further price reductions. Plate and
window glass sales are rather slow,
but the automotive trade has enlarged
its takings Of safety glass.
