Although the pardon granted by l'resident Wil I son to Louis J. Smith, star government I witness, made him eligible to testify, ,h did not take the stand today in the 'trial of (iermaii Consul Franz Hopp and his associates on charge of violating ! American nentraliay. I Instead, testimony was offered by the government tending to connect 'Smith with the purchase of dynamite in Seattle in May. 1915, Captain W. E, Louvell, master of a Dupont l'owdcr company steamer which delivers dynn Stiff on I'uget Sound, testified that lie .delivered fifty pounds of high grade 'dynamite to Walter Weaver. The pros j edition expects to show that Weaver and Smith are identical, j H. (J. Bostick, traveling salesman for : the Dnl'ont l'owdcr company, also told of the sale to Weaver of dynamite which was subsequently . delivered to him at Everett, Wash. Kfforts of Smith to obtain a posi tion with the DuPont company ostensi bly to get in direct touch with the man nfacture of powder for the European allies, were described by B. M. Har rington, superintendent of the DuPont company 's plant. He said Smith wrote to him applying for a position but when Harrington met him a week later said he did not desire the place, as he was western manager for a cigar company. When court convened today the pros ecution tried to call Smith's wife to I the stand. Defense Attorney Roche ob jected, however, on the ground that 8iie is disqnalif ied because she is the i wife of one of the defendants. Judge Hunt will rule on this point this afternoon.

Market Was Sluggish and Prices Declined New York, Dec, 11. The Xew York' Evening Sun financial review today I said: j Despite the improvement in the mon- . ey market aud the better showing of j Saturday's bank statement, the stock market somi developed into a sluggish affair, with an unmistakable iuclinu-1 tion to seek a lower lever after an tin settled early session. There were some' good gains iu the standard Industrial I and railroad lists at the opening, but j after a good deal of see sawing prices eased off. Certain groups, like the rub ber, leather and paper shares, were j strong features until after midday, when they, too, reacted one to two j points more. Some of the oil and gas specialties made good gains also. The railroad issues were neglected.
