REBATES NOT ILLEGAL

Appellate Court Sees Nothing Morally or Legally Wrong in Them. Indianapolis, March 17. —In deciding a case appellate court delivered that there is nothing legally or morally wrong in a contract to pay rebates on condition of continued trade. The Corn Products company sued for the price of goods delivered and the Bessire company defended that the Corn Products company was a trust, and that it had agreed to give certain rebates to the Bessire company. The appellate court that the answer showed ho, illegal combination in restraint of Tirade and that the defendant claiming the benefit of the rebate had not continued in the trade relation the timerrequired to be entitled to it. Nor was the fact that there was an agreement for a rebate for continued trade anything which would make the contract void or to prevent the Corn Products company from recovering the price of the goods sold.
