New York had tho contract market to itself today, but except putting prices down about 10 points and then bringing them back to within a few points of last night's closing, there was very little dona Liverpool gave full response to yesterday's American markets and closed the session with an to 30-pohit decline on contracts and a 10-point decline on spots. At New York there was a disposition to push prices lower early in the session, and under heavy liquidation by longs and aggressive bear pressure prices dropped point by point until 10 points lower had beon registered.

Little Rock, half of the 135 members of the Thirty-Fifth General Assembly, which adjourned May 4, after of 116 days, were called back to Little nock io testify before the county grand jury in an Investigation begun by Lewis Rhoton, prosecuting attorney, on charges that bribery had been resorted to in order to defeat certain bills. C.

B. Andrews of Prescott spent five days in the county jail, having been arrested on warrant-issued by Mr. Rhoton charging nim with accepting a bribe of $100 and giving; $50 of it to another member for his vote on the same bill. Mr. Andrews is editor of the local paper in his home Representative Chapline of Clarendon has been indicted on a charge of offering Representative Wilson $125 to vote for the Kll- ough Lever bill.

Senator Gross of Cedarville Is charged with perjury and soliciting bribe and Senator Rison with offering a Not only have members of the Legislature been called before the grand jury but subpenas were Issued for persons of prom- throughout the State, who are al- eged to know something about the boodle is alleged to have changed hands at the Legislative session. The local police officials are included. It is said that two detectives from St. lOula, who assisted Prosecutor Joseph Folk his Investigation of the charges of hooding against members of the JV'unicipal Assembly, have been in the city four months gathering evidence which resulted in the subpenaing of witnesses. Their identity is not revealed.

One of the detectives lay under a bed in i room in a local hotel twelve hours waiting or a conference which, It had been learned, was to take place, and that he peeped out and money transferred from the hands of a lobbyist to those of a member of the jeglslature who was to distribute it among the "boys" for their votes against some measure. The Investigation started by Mr. Rhoton has stirred the State. Andrews' arrest was made on an affidavit iworn out by Representative R. E.

That measure was blow at Governor Darts and caused the hardest fight of any measure before the Legislature. It passed he Senate, but could never be forced past first reading In the House, as, although a majority favored it, tho necessary two- birds vote to suspend the rales could not le mustered.

It was for support of this hill that Mr Andrews is alleged to have received $100 lalf of which he Is further alleged to have given to a fellow member. Mr. Andrews first opposed the bill, hut 'hen a motion was made a few days later take it from the table he voted for It explanation of this he says that he slm- ly voted to take the bill from the table hat It might be before the House, as he opposed to tabling hills. Subpenas for witnesses were Issued the night before the adjournment of the Legislature, and the announcement a Representatives Andrews, Simpson and Wilson of Perry Counly and Senator Gross of Crawford County had been summoned lo appear before Ihe grand jury caused a sensation. Felsenthal, Strong, Camden and El Dorado citizens summoned in reference to the passage over the veto of Hie Governor of he bill to divide Union Counly two judicial districls.

The bill was passed by Ihe Senate a hard light and was vetoed by the Governor. Then the bill was passed over the veto of the Governor. NEW YORK MARKETS. Coffee. Frotrf the Walt Struct Bureau or Tho Galveston-Dallas News.

Sea Pearl Chicago, June In the condition of winter wheat as shown by the Ohio State Report was a decided cause of weakness In the wheat market here today. At the close the July option showed 'a loss of Corn Is down Ic, oats and provisions The wheat market was weak the entire session. A variety of influences tended to create bearish sentiment. Perhaps the most prominent was excellent weather. Another factor of almost equal importance was a decline in the price of wheat at erpool.

Advices of a bullish character received from the Southwest were apparently Ignored by most traders. Ax report from Wichita, claimed a the condition of the wheat crop of the Southwest States had deteriorated from to IS per cent during the past week. Tho market closed near the lowest point of the day, final quotations on July being at Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago reported receipts of S3 cars, against 329 last week and 149 a year ago.

July opened lower, sold oft to 499f.o and closed at 485tc- Ke- ceipts, 258 89 contract. The volume ot trading in the oats pit was light and was Influenced mainly by the weakness of other grains. July opened 4c ower, sold off to 3ul4c and closed at Receipts, 193 cars. Provisions were easier, largely as the result of the weakness of grain. Business in the pit was almost at a standstill.

lEV RECORDS Both and Import! of' Ivlnncl Empire Lnra-eat in llUtory--United Statri a. Good The annual return of the foreign trada of the Empire of Japan In the year 1901, issued by the Department of Finance of that Government and just received by tin) Department of Commerce and Labor through its Bureau of Statistics, presents the statistics of commerce of Japan during the past year, as well as data showing tha proportion of its trade with each of tha principal countries. Japan has made rapid, progress In her foreign commerce during tho past decade, and her trade with' the United States shows an especially ra'pia growth. The imports into Japan in 1904 were tha largest on record, being J184, 938.000 in value, as against In 1903, In 1900, and in 1895. Exports from Japan in 1904 also established a new high record, being In value, as against J144.172.001) last year, $101,806,000 in 1900, and 569,825,000 In 1895.

Thus the Imports into Japan have increased by $118,627,000 and the exports from Japan by $89.167,000 since 18it5. During the past ten years Japan has Imported about $200,000,000 more than ahe has exported, the excess of the imports over tho exports averaging about 520,000,000 annually during that period. An examination of the statistics of commerce with the principal countries shows that Japan imports most largely from Great Britain, British India, the United Slates, China and. Germany, these five countries supplying 77 per cent of her total imports. Of the total imports into Japan in 1001, amounting to $184,938,000, the United Kingdom supplied $37,346,000.

or 20.2 per cent; British India (Including Straits Settlements), $35,228,000, or 19 per cent; the United Slates, $28,842,000, or 15.7 per cenl; China' or 14.8 per cpnt, and Germany $14.291,000, or 7.7 per cent. Of the exports from Japan, amounting to $168,992,000 in 1904, the principal countries ot destination are the United States, $50 423 000' China, France, Hone Kong, Korea, $10,154,0001 Great Britain, $8,787,000, and Italy, $6,011,000 theso seven countries taking about nine-tenths of the exports from Japan. It will be observed that the United States is by far Japan's best customer, exports to tho United States from Japan representing about one-third of her total sales to foreign countries. Among the Nations export- Ing goods to Japan, however, the States occupies a lower rank, being exceeded In that respect by both Great Britain and British The relative progress made by the United Slates and the United Kingdom in the import trade of Japan will be seen from an examination of the following table, which snows the imports into Japan at quinquen- nial periods from 1S84 to 1S99, and annuallv from 1900 to 1904: In 1S84 the United States supplied 8.4 per cent of Japan's imports, while the United Kingdom supplied 43 per cent; in 1889 the United States supplied 9.3 per cent, the United Kingdom 39.4 per cent; in 1894 tho United States supplied 9.3 per cent the United Kingdom 35.9 per cent; in 1SS9 tha United States supplied 17.3 per cent, the United Kingdom 20.3 per cent, and In 1904 the United States supplied 15.7 per cent, and the United Kingdom 20.2 per cent. The United States has therefore increased its proportion from 8 per cent of Japan's total imports in 1834 to 1U per cent In 1904, while the United Kingdom, meantime, has lost ground relatively, having supplied per cent of Japan's total imports In the former, and but 20 per cent of her total imports in the latter year.
