Heavy exports of gold, 81. .OO0. OO0. have been
engaged for Saturday. and the advance of
the Bank OF England rate from to per

are very heavy, for four weeks at New
York having exceeded last years by % per

from New York for four weeks have been

per cent, and the months exports last wear
from all ports were about So, ,2SS. .2lq.
These facts indicate a very heavy excess of
imports of July. The cotton exports for

A FARMER MYSTERIOUSLY DIS
kDDEAPS

LAWRENCE, Kan, August 1.-W. r.
Davis, prominent farmer residing five
miles northwest of this city, has very mys-
teriously disappeared. Yesterday he, in
company with his brother-in-law, was re-
turning from trip to Jefferson county.
About six miles up the river he told the
young man to drive around By Lawrence
and cross the bridge and he would wade
across the river. Since that time nothing
has been heard from him, and it is sup
posed he was drowned. He had considera-
bic money on his person, and there is a
suspicion that he has been foully dealt
with, as some tramps were seen in that
neighborhood yesterday. Searching par
ties are dragging the river and securing
the banks this evening.
