General Statement of the Condition of the
Business Of the Country.
New YORK, Aug S.-R. G. Dun & Co. IS
Weekly Review of Trade says:
Less favorable crop prospects, closer
money markets and further delay in
action on the tariff bill in the senate have
increased the uncertainty which retards
business.
In spite of the sharp advance in which
corn, oats, oil and coffee, the general aver
age Of prices for commodities is a shade
lower than week ago. The present state
of trade throughout the country appears
satisfactory for the season, and reports al
most uniformly confident in tone.
Boston notes an improvement in wool.
Cotton goods are moving fairly. and the
suspension in the print cloth works is hay
ing the desired effect. Philadelphia notes
no Improvement in wool and scarcity buy
ing of cotton, lower prices being awaited.
ST. Louis Iotes strong trade in nearly
all lines. Kansas City notes fair trade
for the season. Omaha and st. Paul notes
a good trade and Milwaukee improving.
The crop outlook on the whole is less
promising. Speculative news gatherers
are making the most of the damage to
wheat and corn. Wheat has risen SIC
with SALE of 100000 bushels. Corn 315c
with sales of 100000 bushels, and OATS
100000, while pork, hogs and cotton are
unchanged.
Iron ore and pig iron are inactive and
weak at Cleveland, with rather better de-
mand at Pittsburg where the demand for
finished iron is excellent for the season.
The same is true at Philadelphia Con-
Trajectory this state of things is seen in
wool, and the wooden trade is decided
II larger but lower prices for
wool, and the depression in manufactured,
especially of all wool and finer goods in
belief that the delay of the tariff
and heavy imports, will prevent the i'm
provement this year of all of 20
per cent. Wool abroad threatens great
supply. of cheaper goods. If the proposed
change of duties be so that the producers
hesitate, domestic exports of products will
continue small and imports very large.
Business failures occurring throughout
the country during the last seven days

For corresponding week of last year the
figures were POI.

BALTIMORE, Md, Aug. S.-Mrs. Mollie
Storm, wife of Mr.. s. w. Storm, and Edith
", his 12-year- old daughter, Mrs. J. R.
Johnson and Carroll, aged 8 years, son of
Mr.. ]. s. Graham, were drowned yesterday
in st. Ingoes creek, st. Mary county,
while bathing The bodies were recovered
and brought to Baltimore this morning
The drowned were members of a party of
fourteen Baltimoreans.
The party, with the exception of Miss
Graham, who stood on shore, were bathing
in the creek about quarter of mile from
the house where they were stopping. The
steamer Sue came along. The delight
OF the young ones at sight of
the vessel found expression in
hearty cheers and waving of hands,
which salutation Capt. Geoghan acknowl-
edged by several whistles. The Sue at this
time about quarter of mile distant from
the bathers. The undertow from the
steamer caught the women and children
and swept some of them beyond their
depths. Miss Nettie Graham cried so loudly
that Capt. Geoghan heard her, but before
he could reach the bathers number of
oystermen went to her rescue and saved
nine of the bathers. Mrs Johnson and
Edith Storm lost their lives in efforts to
save Mrs Storm and Carroll Graham. Mrs
Stevens when carried ashore was insensi-

STARVING OKLAHOMANS.
HarrisOn's Proposition for Relief by Using
an Unexpepded Fund Already Appro-

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8-The president
today sent 10 congress letter from Gov
Steele of Oklahoma, representing that great
distress prevails among residents of the
territory and requesting that the attention
of congress be called to the fact The pres
ident in transmitting the letter, says: an
formation rectived by me from other sources
leads me to believe Gov. Steele is altogether
right in his impression there will be, unless
relief is afforded, either by public ap.
preparation or by organized in
dividusl effort much suffering
among the settlers in Oklahoma. Many of
these people expended in travel and in pro-
viding shelter for their families all of their
accumulated means. Crop prospects for
the year are by reason of the drouth, I'm
favorable, and the ability of the territory
itself to provide relief must be
inadequate during this year. am advised
that there is an uneXpended balance of
about $45, 900 of the fund appropriated for
relief of sufferers by the food upon the
Mississippi river and its tributaries and |
recommend that authority be given TO use
this fund to meet the most urgent necessa-
ries of the poor people in Oklahoma, steps
having been taken more particularly to
ascertain the condition of the people
through our territory and if larger relief
should seem to be necessary the facts will
be submitted to congress.

Favorable Outlook for Cotton, but Corn Cut
Short by the Drouth.
GALVESTON, Tex, Aug. 8.-Tomorrow
morning the Galveston News will publish
very elaborate crop reports, which while
not so favorable as those published in that
paper in the latter part of June, are most
encouraging and indicate that the present
crop of cotton will be one of the largest,
if not the largest a ever raised
in the State The reports are full
and complete covering the entire cotton
producing area and embracing 276 points
in 1913 counties. The dates run from Aug.
2 to Aug. 6, the average being Aug. 5,
and no material change has taken place
except gradual extension of rain fall into
regions complaining of drouth. Nearly
all untavorable reports come from West
and Southwest Texas.
The central, southeast and coast counties
report the crops fully up to or above last
year, while as rule crops in central
Texas are the best that have been produced
in years.
There is some complaint of the worms
but no dan age has vet been done and as
farmers are prepared to kill them off. 1t is
not probable that there will be any.
A good idea of the exact condition of the
cotton crop may be formed from the fol-
lowing summary of reports-110 points re-
port condition good, seventy-fve very
good comparison being made with the
famous yield of 1882; several counties re-
port no cotton raised
The cotton crop IS far from good one,
the drouth cutting it short. On the whole
the outlook is favorable, however, and at
present Texas farmers have little cause to
complain.
