PAPER BOARD NOW Association on Trial for Sher man Act Violations. The Fap»r Board Association appeared In court before Judge Hough. In the United Matt* Circuit Court yesterday, to answer for it* alleged fins in combining to poo that the prices and output of paper hoard were kept Just -where the members of Hi* association wanted them kept. Thirty-nine corporations, with plants in N«w York. New Jersey. Indiana. Michigan. Massachu setts. Illinois. Connecticut. Delaware. Waal Virrinf*. Ohio. Pennsylvania. Virginia, and fifty-four of th*» officials of tho corporations are named in the indictment for violations cf the Sherman anti-trust law. Since the association was organized, on September 1. 1 <*'->. about fifty more manu facturers of the paper board have been taken Into the association, but only about forty of the corporate or individual de fendants put In an appearance yesterday when they were called to plead. These vere represented by Janus M. Beck. Edward M. Shepard. Henry W'lln.an md John C. Clarke, who put in tentative pleas of not gruilty and «era allowed three weeks' rim- in which to amend or change. the plea. The defendants who were repre sented in court were released on their own recognizance, nod bench warrants wore Issued lor the rest. The uncovering of the alleged monopoly came with the return of John H. Parks from Europe a couple of months ago. Parks was president of the Fibre and Manila Paper Association, the so-called wrapping paper trust, and was prominent in the formation of the Paper Board Asso ciation. In the former association, which was indicted for violation of the anti-trust laws in 19.TS. there v ere some twenty-two paper making companies which pleaded guilty and were fined $2,000 each. Parks stayed In Europe a good many months, but finally returned and was fined $4,000. On his return he was brought before the Erand jury, together with his books and paper?, which revealed a nicely working scheme to control the paper board industry of the country, Hie appearance as a wit ness before the grand jury gives him immunity in the present prosecution. Ac cording to the indictment, the prices of paper and box board and the regulation of the output were fixed at each quarterly mctlnjr. As a result of tho combination competition lias been eliminated and the prices have been kept up to a high figure, about V . r.vi /vv» being annually exacted from consumers over and above what they ought to pay. One of the defendants named is Villiam D. Barnes, of the W. D. Barnes f Paper Company. Brainard. Rensselaer county, who ■■as a member of the State Senate from 1302 to 190 S. BROKERS' BYLAWS AMENDED. Consolidated Exchange Alters Rule Governing Large Bids. Th»» board of governors of the Consoli dated Stock Exchange has amended the by laws of th* Institution by adding a para pranh to the effect that all bids or offers in lots exceeding oh* hundred shares must be filled by accepting any part of such bid or offer in hundred share lots. The change. It was explained, was made for the purpose of preventing any attempt at matching or ders or manipulating the market by bidding for. or offering, larce lota of stocks upon th». floor of the Consolidated Stock Ex change. The amendment Is the first step made by the exchange in the direction of rutting Into effect some of the recommendations Made by the Wall Street investigating com mittee appointed by Governor Hughes, one of which was that the stock exchanges slionid insUt that all trading he done on the basis of a reasonably small unit, as the practice of allowing bids and offers for large amounts, all or none, assisted in the manipulation In prices. The committee gave as an illustration of the possibilities of such manipulation liiat a customer might *end an order to sell W< shares of a certain stock at par, and that id. broker might offer to buy 1.0/0 shares, all or none, at 101, and yet ri transaction, take place, and suggested as a remedy that the bidder in such a case should be required to take all the Fhares offered at the lower price before bidding for a larger lot at a higher price.

Agricultural Exports in Last Decade Nine Billion Dollars. "Washington. .Tan. 7. — Nine billion dollars' worth of agricultural products were ex ported from the United States In the last ten years, according to the Bureau of Sta tistics. Agricultural products exported In the fiscal year 1909 amounted to $900, 000.000. While th« agricultural group shows a gain of over $100,000,000 in the last decade, decreased exportation is shown in staple farm products used for food, such as broad stuffs, meats, live cattle, etc. This loss is more than offset by the great increase In exports of cotton and certain comparatively new Industries whose chief development has occurred In the last few years. Cotton, the largest it^m in the agricult ural group, shows a total exportation dur ing the decade of $3,651,000,000. Bread stuffs, second on the list, showed a marked decline. Meat and dairy products consti tute the third largest class in the group of farm products exported. Exports In this class have on the whole been better main tained in the decade than has been the. case of cotton or breadstuffs. The general group, animals, shows a decrease from $30, 000,000 In iS99 to $23,000,000 in 1309. Cat tle were the chief factor •in jLhis decline. In the last fiscal year Europe took $25, 000.000 worth of American tobacco out of a total export of $31,000,000. Europe Is also the largest foreign market for Ameri can cotton, taking nine-tenths of the ex ports. THE HIGH COST OP LIVING. Some Prices in Chicago — Hogs Still Advance. Chicago.

Brad street's «a; The year opens with a perceptible lull in trade, though with optimism as the under lying « lenient in all lines. Severe cold weather and heavy snow, sleet or rain storms have checked transportation and retarded country trnd<\ though more* or less immediate benefit to retail trade in < iti^s has accrued from the stimulus given to demand for seasonable goods by weather conditions and the beginning of clearance sales of winter goods. Wholesale lines have been generally quiet, owing to the fact that, salesmen as yet are not fully in their fields of activity. Jobbing reorders ,-ire checked for the same leasons. Col lections are rather slower and classed gen erally as only fair. due. no doubt, to inter ruptions as to the movements of mails and of farm products to market. WhilA sea sonable quiet i.- noted in so many lines of trad* and outdoor operations, such as building, and railway movement if» Inter rupted, most lines of trade return highly encouraging reports as to the outlook. Sea sonable weather promises, to affoid a full outlet for winter wearing apparel in final distributers' hand?, and advices as to spring orders booked and row beginning to be filled by shipment are very good. It is true that th:» continuous advances 'In prices of cotton goods necessitated by the higher price of the raw material are not being accepted In all lines, and somewhat f-imilar report* come from various lines of dress goods dealers, while a general trade conference on shoo prices is set down for next week at Boston. Dun's Review says: .Not In a. half decade has a year opened with the business outlook so generally 8U- BpiefouH as the year 1310. In January. 1907, I '■•■ was a tremendous volume of trans act ions, hut already the clouds of impend ing disaster could be seen on the horizon: in January, 1!V)8, the crash had arrived and the business world wan counting th* heavy losses; In January, 1909, confidence* had been in putt repaired, but the progress toward recovery was very Flow, but in January, 1910. the volume of transactions Is as large as in 1907. with confidence H'.i preme, and no impending disasters casting tl:eir shadows before. Some of the perplex ing Issues which contributed to th* crisis of I^7 still leniain unsolved, while the question of high prices has become more acute; but i' would seem ax If business . onAdence were not going to permit those tilings to Interfere with the further prog ress of industry and commerce. The opti mism which usually prevails at this season is tin:- time apparently wnll supported by the farts of the economic situation. In the great Iron aid steel trade, which is so !'a.-]<\ this spirit of optimism is particular .i. conspicuous. Conditions are not so pro nouncedly strong In some other depart ments, but with favorable agricultural con ditions and with no event, political or otherwise, to impair the confidence of busi ness men in the credit structure, there twins to be no reason to doubt a good year. It is « favorable omen that the rltst week witnesses a decline in the Hank of England rale of discount to 4 per cent, which is a sißit of more stable conditions : abroad, and that the volume of bank «>x changea in the United States shows heavy Increases; 12.8 per cent over 1903 and «>.g pr^r cent over IMC outside of New York and '/7.2 per ■ i lit over 1900 and 6 per cent Over 19M In New York. There is a slight falling off In i;.ilroa-1 esmings, but this is due to weather conditions and the North ■ western railroad strike.
