eon-moms QUESTIONED.
The Court Thought That the Recorder of
New York Exceeded His Authority,
but Be Granted the Prose- .
outing Officers; Delay.
.
NEW YORK, Dec. 7.——'-The Aub—Langer-
man case was transferred 'to the supreme
court today. Walter L. S. Langerman
was brought before Justice Andrews on a
writ of habeas ’c‘orpus .obt-ained by his
counsel,,Golonel R. J. Haire.. A writ of
certiorari was also issued by Justice An-
drews directing the clerk’of part two of the
court of general sessions tosubmit to him
all the papers in the case. Both writs
were served yesterday afternoon.
There was a big crowd in supreme court,
chambers, long before Justice Andrews
took his seat'to hear the case. -
Langerman came into court in charge
of a policeman from the house of deten-
Sion. He did not look so happy as he did
Leveral days ago. He wore a blue over~
coat, a dark suit of clothes and patent,
Colonel Haire was present in Langer—
man' s behalf, and Assistant District At-
torney Unger appeared to object to Lan-
german’ s release from the house of de-
tention.
Colonel Hairs sought to get Langerman
out on the ground that he was being un-
lawfully held as a witness against Bar-
bara Aub, and that his hail of $1,000 was
excessive. On these grounds he asked for

“I do not wish to interfere with the
business of the district attorney’s office,
so I think I shall commit Langerman to
the Reuse of Detention in order to give
Mr. Ungcr an opportunity to submit his
authorities in writing.’ ~
Mr. Unger then cited the case of old

out of $500 in a green goods game had not

commitment of Langerman by Recorder
Goff was illegal and irregular. He read
the law upon the subject, and stated that
Langermnn could not be committed to the
house of " detention unless there was
reason, based upon affidavits, to believe
that he was an accomplice of Barbara
Aub’s crime of perjury, and, further. un-
less there was a belief that the witness
Wanted was about to leave town.
The papers in Langerman’ s case were
then produced, showing how he had been
committed, and then Justice Andrews
asked whether Recorder Goff had acted as
a police magistrate or as presiding judge
of the court of general sessions.
' Colonel Haire said that it was unlawful
for the recorder to fix Lange1 man ’5 ball at
more than $100. The question was then
raised and argued as to whether the re-
corder in the case had acted as a police
magistrate.
Justice Andrews was- clearly in accord
with Colonel Haire’sarg11men9.He asked
Mr. Ungcr what authority the recorder
had to hold a witness who was unable to -
furnish bail. The only precedent quoted
"was a murder case tried a long time ago,
in which a witness was held' 1n $5, 000 bail.
Mr. Unger took the stand that it was
not Recorder Goff who had committed
Langerman, but the court of general ses-
sions. Both lawyers then argued on legal
technicalities for a long time.
‘ " An Important Difference.
Justice Andrews said, that witnesses
were held by federal court judges by a
special act of congress. but he did not
know of any statute which would give the
court of general sessions power to arrest
witnesses and lock them up, as is in the
power of a United States district attorney.
Mr. Unger, in answer to the court’ s
contention, said that it was the custom of
lhe district attorney to an est witnesses
and have their bail fixed' in large amounts.
.“If there is such a power vested in the
district attorney,” said Justice Andrews,
“1 do: not know of it,.but I do not wish to
give a hasty decision in this case. I think
it is illegal to commit witnesses in heavy.

NEW YORK, Dec. 7. —-R. G. Dun & Co.’s
Weekly review of trade says:
Business is still sluggish, as if gorged
by excessive indulgence of the appetite for
buying when prices were advancing. In
nearly every branch stocks not yet dis
’ tributed to consumers stand in the way of
new orders, and competition of a produc-
ing- force largely exceeding the present de-
mand puts down prices, that decline re-
tarding purchases yet more. After the
holidays men look for a larger demand,
whether large enough to support all the
producing force awakened to activity by
the abnormal rush of buyers last summer
remains to be seen. For the present the
springs of new business are running low,
but enough is doing on old orders to keep
good proportion fully. Financial influ-
ences have not hindered and rarely has
the opening of a session cf congress affect-
ed business so litt-le. ,
Reaction in prices is not'st-imulating,
even when it means return to health after
an udwholesome advance, but it has been
the most prominent feature in business
for some weeks. Of the leading products
hides were almost the first and the most
active in rising, but have now receded 40
per cent. Wheat rose about 27 cents with
false reports, but declined about 18 cents.
Cotton rose nearly 50 per cent, but has re-
ceded about 15 per cent, and leather rose
as much, but has declined thus far 13 per
cent. Iron rose nearly 60 per cent, but
has declined from the highest point about
10 per cent” Woolen goods rose scarcely
any, and cotton goods much less than "cot-
ton, and boots and shoes much less than
leather, and these have declined compara-
tively little. Each branch has special cen-
ditions, but where the rise Was large and
due to fictitious or temporary influences
much reaction is natural. Retail prices,
as usual, yield more slowly and not in
proportion to the wholesale cost of com-
modities.
Wheat, Corn and Cotton.
Wheat has advanced about 1- cent for
the week, though Western receipts have
been 7,014,911 bushels against 3,727,788
last year, and Atlantic" exports. flour in-
cluded, again exceed last year’s, 2,326,-
093, against 1,887,737 bushels. The best
western estimate of the crop have been
raised again. Corn 'moves from farms less
freely than a year ago, the low price hin-
dering, but exports were 1, 293, 774 bushels,
against 178, 813 last year. Cotton has
been'weak again, declining a quarter for
the week and the January option three-
eighths. The quantity which has come
into sight, 35 per cent less than last year
to date, does not yet indicate a yield 30 or
37 per cent smaller, as many predict,
though the recent movement is very slow.
Northern spinners have taken about a
third less than last year.
dia and the east and the less favorable
prospect for goods. In this country the
manufacture meets with a much reduced
demand, and prices are gradually sinking,
in the aVcrage for all grades about 2% per
cent from the highest point in October.
Wool has been slightly strengthened by
the London sales, but the average of quo-
tations by Coates Bros. is only a tenth of
1 per cent higher. Sales continue largo,
6,463,100 pounds for the Week, of -which
60 per cent was foreign. Manufacturers
have much machinery idle at present, and
orders thus far are not encouraging. .
Dress goods me in less demand, and At-

highest point in September, but actual

better is. expected after Jan. 1, little—gain
