r. @. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review of
Trade for week ending July IS, says:
Business clearly grows somewhat more
active, though midsummer dizziness Is still
the rule. AT eastern cities there Is noticed
more demand for manufactured goods, VITA
larger sales for materials. At the west
trade Is enlivened by the large yield OF
winter wheat already harvested, and by
the very bright outlook for other crops.
The collapse OF wheat speculation has come,
with n fall of Sc during the past week, but
corn Is scarce at SIC higher, while oats
have declined about &c. Pork and hog
products are higher, coffee has risen a
ouaruer and oil the same, but cotton is
unchanged and the general course of prices
has been downward, as is natural at this
season. the fall during the past week having
averaged nearly "a of 1 per cent. The
money markets are generally in fair
shape and collections fair for the season.
Business failures occurring throughout the
country during the last seven days numb err
pa, as compared with a total of 247 last
week. For the corresponding week OF last
year the figures were COZ.

flag. These figures will be done in pro-
file, alike on both sides, and placed
diagonaily across the top of the tower, so
as to be visible from the southeast and
northwest corners Of Woodward and
jefferson avenues. On each corner of the
tower. few feet from the base will be
placed a huge STAR six feet from tip to tip
The groundwork of these stars will be
covered with silver foil and each will be
