COMMERCIAL REVIEW.
Business Continues Good. and is Still
Improving in Prospect.
notwithstanding the Sinking Stock Msrket
Monetary Matters are Undisturbed-In-
crease In Exports and Imports.

NEW YORK, July 5.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S. weekly review of trade reads as
follows:
Business has been fairly maintained
in volume and is gradually improving
in prospects. June has been mOntR
| of exceptionally large transactions.
Prices OF commodities, in spite of the
the rise in some speculative markets,
have on the whole fallen during the
month about per cent, and are now
| hardly - per cent. above the lowest
| average ever recorded, but there are
/ signs of substantial improvement in the
most important branch of industry.
The monetary situation remains undis-
turbed, nevertheless the stock market,
| considered an indication of the future,
has been sinking. The wars of Western
| and to some extent of Eastern railroads
have disheartened many investors and
| caused much selling. 1t is felt, too,
that the rise, stimulated by sudden adj
vances in trust stocks, was not of a sub
stantial character, but there has been
much confidence that the enormous half
yearly disbursements by the government
and corporations would cause a new de-
| mand and advance in better securities,
| and while the movement thus far in July
has not answered expectations holders
are still hopeful.
Reports from interior points are gener-
ally favorable Markets have not
changed greatly during the broken week.
The price of cotton has advanced 3-16c,
in part because of the scanty supply of
desirable grades. The iron market re-
mains strong in tone. Southern iron is
still offered in large quantity at SIG. so
for No. l F., and the demand for manufac-
tured iron is less active. Sales OF about
ten thousand tons of steel rails appear to
to have been on basis of S2S at Eastern
mills
The monetary prospect is elouded by
the exports of SIT ,507 $40 gold and ST.
l55 AGA silver from New York alone since
June /. In consequence circulation of
all kinds has been reduced SIT 900 200
in June, and though the aggregate is
even now So, 900 200 larger than year
ago, it is felt that continued out go in
July would be apt to cause a pressure in
September. New York banks reported
last week a surplus of only seven and
one-half million dollars, and the actual
surplus probably was not over SIX mil
lion dollars, which is not a large proper
ton for the active fall demand.
Exports for five weeks exceed that of
last year by II per cent. at New York,
while imports show an increase of 4 per
cent. Unless grain exports are fastened
by the cut in east bound rail rates or for
eign holders cease to realize on securi-
ties, the outgo of gold may continue.
Thus far the treasury disbursements for
the week have exceeded receipts by only
$500. 200, but viii be much larger for the
week to come.
Business failures number POP compared
with 2l5 last week and 220 the week pre-
vious. For the corresponding week of
last year the figures were ga.

MURDER AND ARSON.
A Merchant is Killed and his Store Burned to
Conceal the Crime.

Conceal the Crime
Special to the Gazette.
HOUSTON, TEX. July 5,-This morn
ing about clock the store of George
w. Hodgson on Washington road, near
Glenwood cemetery was discovered to be
on fire. When the flames were gotten
under partial control the firemen dis
covered that Mr.. Hodgson had been

the crime by the cremation of the corpse.
The head had been severed from the
body and has not yet been found in the

were completely charred and pre-
sented a most sickening spectacle.
HodgsOn was an Englishman by birth and
was fifty-six years of age. He lived
alone III his store and was rather eccen-

money on his person. He closed his
store at 10 'clook, which was the last
seen of him until the finding of the body
after the fire. The remains were taken
charge of by members of George B Nc
Clellan post, No. 8, G. A. R., of which
Hodgson was a member. The inquest
was begun to-day, but no testimony was
brought out which threw any light on the
matter or would furnish a clew as to

STEPHENvILLE, TEX, July 4.-The
glorious Fourth was ushered in this
morning by lowering clouds, muttering
thunder, vivid lightning and heavy rains.
For six consecutive days we have had
heavy rains, amounting almost to disas
trous floods. It Is conceded that the
small-grain crop, especially oats,
is very materially, if not
almost wholly ruined. There has never
been, for years at least, such heavy and
continuous and successive rains at this
season of the year as have fallen during
the last six weeks, and especially during
the last week. The rains have suspended
all kinds of business. Mechanics cannot
work on house building; armers cannot
work. Cotton is getting in the grass,
but with return Of dry weather cotton
will be all right. Corn was never better,
or more of it.
