THERE is a tradition that there was a flood in
the Ohio more than 100 years ago, more tremen-
dous than any that has happened within our his
toric days. The story is that an Indian told the
Iirst settlers tale that incredible, and point
ed to a mark on a tree at such height that he
got the reputation of too much imagination. The
flood of 1892, however was 50 wonderful that the
old settlers remembered the Indians story,
and were not sure but 1t might be so.
With more water I'm the river last night than II
had contained since December, 1917. and news
from above that all the streams were rising, while
the rain was falling in torrents, the conclusion
was forced that the people Of TIE Ohio Valley
must suffer immense losses. The flood already
reaches the proportions of calamity.-Cincin-

taken an upward turn, aud indications at pres
ent point TO a much higher advance. Some

last week and unless a great advance occurs
think the exporters will take as much this week
Corn is higher. in sympathy with wheat, but
business has been less active. Exporters continue
to purchase at the higher prices, but think they
have already bought about as much as they need.
Our stock has been reduced 100000 bushels since
last Monday and believing that there is a search
ty of this staple I'm this country, our holders are
not anxious to sell at present. Lard is the only
weak staple on the list. The opening was lower.
and. aided by discouraging advices from Chicago
the bears succeeded in putting prices down still
further Refners and exporters of LAID are pur-
chasing but only in small lots as actual neeessi-
ty demands The Wall street markets to-day
were weak from beginning to end. Scarcely a
stock made gain. while the decline in some
cases was significant"
