Co.'S. weekly review reports:
Crops reports have become exceed
ingly contradictory and confusing, dis
patches by the score are published as
eerting that froSts have cut down the
yield of spring wheat greatly, espe-
cially in Dakota and Minnesota, and
are greatly exaggerated. Such confus-
ing accounts from ali quarters have
helped very active speculation with
sales of SO, 000, 900 bushels here and
net decline in price of only
half cent for the week. These facts
led to the suspicion that gloomy re-
ports are being used to unload Specula-
tive burdens, and that the actual out
come will not fall much below previous
estimates.
Corn is fraction lower with sales of
8, ZOO, 900 bushels and oats cents high
ar with some activity.
In provisions there has been active
speculation, on advance and reac-
ton.
Hogs remain 10 cents higher. Oil
has risen cents, and leather and hides
are half a cent higher.
Tin has weakened, but copper is
stronger and lead has been hOisted half
3 cent.

The dry goods market has been &C

lions of brown sheetings are weak and
the market for wOolens is still irregu-
lar and uncertain.
Speculation has raised the price OF
cotton At cents per hundred pounds
with sales of 261 200 bales al
New York in spite of favorable
crop 8dvices. 1t is hardly necessary tC
point out that this speculative activity
particularly in eXportable products
is not very healthy sign. If crops
are really poor. business must suffer
in consequence, and if prices are mere

Floods estate is valued by good judges
at $15, 0O0, 600. AT the height of the DO.
nanza excitement, when shares on the
leading mines brought 5000 and paid $50
a month dividend, Floods wealth was
rated at $40, 900, 600. The property will
probably be equally divided between the
wife, son and daughter. The latter was
always Floods favorite, and at one time
she possessed in her own right s., 0D0, 600

Flood is shrewd, but has no stability,
and the old man never trusted him in
any large deals.
Floods last deal was made two years
ago, when a strike was made in the Con-
solidated Virginia and California. The
stock was kicking AROUND the street at
SO. Flood levied another assessment,
which brought him in most of the stock.
Then he began work at the mine, and in
a month the stock was booming at $50.
He sold heavily at this figure, which the
stock has never reached since, and gath
cred in q large amount from credulous
spectators, who thought there was a
ganuine revival of the Comstock. All
other stock sympathized, and Flood is
credited with selling the public about all
he held in a large number of mines that
don't pay mining expenses.
