DuN'S REPORT.

Crops Not 0uitc Up to EzPectation-I'ise
in Price of Breadstuhs-Ex Extraordinary
Imports.
New YORK, Aug. 13.-R. G. Dun &
Co. s weekly review of trade says: Crop
reports are not quite up TO expectations,
and are construed as indicating a def
cieut supply of corn and oats, while 4
possible deficiency in wheat and cotton
will be more than met by surplus stocks
But prices have advanced quite sharp
ly, and exports of domestic products
will fall below last weeks prices. Great
industries are all doing remarkably
well. excepting the iron manufacture.
The particular feature Of the week
has been the rise in breadstuffs, l cent
in corn and three-eighths of a cent in
oats, while wheat declined three-quar-
ters of n cent with sales OF only 1S,000,-
900 bushels. Western receipts were H.
$50, 600 bushels. Pork advanced 80 cents
per barrel, but lard declined half
cent; oil rose > cents and coffee a
quarter, but cotton fell an eighth,
though exports are larger than a
year ago, as crop reports grow more
favora BILE. It should not be forgotten
that if exports of products which for
two weeks have been T.5j lower at New
York than last year, should be restrict
ed to advances in price, the outflow of
gold would be likely to continue and
before long to affect speculative mar
kets. Imports continue extra ordinarily
large at New York for five weeks. SO
per cent. greater than last year, and
such a movement would insure further
gold exports unless other conditions
change.

POISON hT THE FEAST.
Wedding Guests Poisoned-A Mystery That
Remains to BE Unravelled.


DETROIT. Mich, Aug. 1S.-It has just
become known that many of the guests
who attended the wedding Wednesday
night of William c. Winchester and
Elvaretta Z. Palmer are still confined
to their beds as a result of eating
chicken salad which contained a pois-
onous substance 1t was at first feared
that some of the cases would prove IA
tai, but the physicians in attendance
now proclaim their patients out of dan
ger.
About fifty guests were present at
the wedding and almost all of them
were more or less affected. Nothing
unusual was noticed until about two
hours after supper when several guests
complained of feeling i'll and left for
their homes. The symptoms We're vom-
iting and cramps and the suffering of
those afflicted was terrible The bride
and groom We're among those affected.
The couple left to take the Cleveland
boat on their wedding tour, but
the bride became so i'll on the way
that they stopped at the home of Mrs.
Julia Henderson and We're attended by
DIR. Hastie. Mr.. Winchester was also
taken i'll, but not so seriously as were
Mrs. Henderson and members of her
family who attended the wedding. The
condition of the bride was critical for q
time, but she is now out of danger, al
though so weak from spasms that she
| is still confined to her bed.
Among others who We're taken ill
were Perry Palmer, brother of the
! bride, and his wife and son. A portion
of the suspected salad has been pre-
served for analysis. Dr. Dalzin has
some of it and partial analysis has
been made without result. 1t is be
lieved by some that the sugars used FOR
frosting the wedding cakes contained
| the poisonous ingredients.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-Superintend-
ent Robert p Porter, in an address pre-
pared for delivery at Asbury park,
makes public the preliminary figures of
church statistics of theeleventh census,
which are both curious aud interesting.
There are shown to be in the United
States nearly $50 separate and distinct
church organizations of widely differ
ent crecds. They vary greatly in prac-
tice and represent all possible varla-
tions of church policy.
There are a dozen different branches
of the Presbyterian family. There are
some denominations that will answer
only to the simplest, most indefinite
title-for example the Brethren. There
are various churches that claim to be
simply Brethren. Four of these are
branches of what are popularly
called plymouth Brethren" But they
do not own the title plymouth,
nor is there any distinction which
they have adopted by which these four
bodies of Plymouth Brethren may be
! distinguished from others. There arc
| two Reformed churches, known as the
Reformed Church in America and Re-
formed Church in the United States.
4 Some of the denominations were never
numbered before and it required the
utmost powers of persuasion to induce
| them to submit to the process.

her of churches in the United States to-

In point of number the Methodists
stood first in 1850 and still retain the
position, nearly one-third of the church
cdifices belonging to the Methodist
church. while the Baptist can lay claim
to more than one-quarter. Relatively
speaking, the Episcopal church retains
about the same position to the other
denominations as it did in 1850. On
the other hand, the Roman Catholic
church has advanced considerably
from a trihe over 3 per cent. of
