Usual Midsummer Falling Off
in Trade Not Apparent
This Season.
OUTLOOK A GLORIOUS ONE.
Alarm Over Crop Damage Now
Known to Have Been
Exaggerated.

NEW YORK, July l5.-R. G. Dun u
Co. 8 Weekly Review of Trade says:
"A business food so strong and rapid
that the conservative fear it may do
harm is out of season in July. But
the seasons this year lap over and
crowd each other. May frosts and
frights, it is now evident, kept back
much business that would not natur-
ally have been finished before midsum-
mer, and the delayed accumulation Of
one season gets in the way of efforts to
begin another on time. But the vol
ume of business, however, it may be
assured, is remarkably large for the
month, even in a good year. The ex.
aggerated fears about crops have
passed, the syndicate is believed both
able and determined to protect the
treasury and the time draws near when
the marketing of new crops will turn
into a national balance if speculation
does not hinder.
Sensational Fall In Wheat.
The week has been notable for sen.
sational fall in wheat Of cents in two
days, followed by recovery of cents,
though neither accords any interpreta-

prices was the result of speculative
rather than commercial influences.
At many of the cities throughout the
West and Northwestern states mer.

incident to the first half of July,

Hedges in the United States court, in
Los Angeles, Cal, to recover $500, 900

props from under the tottering Union

its total collapse. Before the failure of
the Union company Hedges made .
general assignment Of all his property,
amounting to $2,247,0OO. This forced
the Union company under and mum.

Cities.
BEFORE THE NEWPORT COLLEGE
Eupposed Invasion by Great
Britain and How to
Repel 1t.

WASHINGTON, July l5.-The naval
war college at Newport is now engaged
in the discussion of a most interesting
problem, the solution of which is OF
great importance to the great Atlantic
seaboard cities. This problem, which
was framed by Captain H. c. Taylor
and Captain Mahan, is baced on a sup
posed attack ON the New England coast
by great British naval force, supple
mented by strong body Of troops from
Halifax AS laid before the war col.
lege, the problem is as follows:
May 10th, war is imminent. The
enemy is assembling at Halifax He is
expected to descend on the New Eng
land coast. His probable plan is to oc-
cupy the coast and the cities from
Portland to Boston, there seconding
certain movements OF his land forces.
His success depends upon his ability to
complete this occupation before June
10 and maintain it until July TO- The
forces destined for this purpose is one
or more fleets whose total strength Is
three times that of our fleet, and 10000
men in 80 transports. Our available
force is ordered to assemble for the
present in Nantucket sound.
May 90, war is declared. The fleet
leaves, occupies Province town and
blockades Boston, May %.
The feet is composed of 6 battleships,
eight armored cruisers, II gunboats
and II torpedo boats. He begins to
keep touch of our feet by means of
scouts. Our force is ) battleships, 3
armored cruisers, ID cruisers, 10 gun
boats, 10 torpedo boats and one ram.
The heavy monitor at Boston and one
light one at Portsmouth and another at
Portland are to be retained at those
points. We learn that much larger
force of the enemy is about to leave
Halifax. 1t sails May 25, blockades

ST. PAUL, July 15.-The crop of

phenomenal abundance Of 1891, when
crops were enormous, but large losses
occurred because of the scarcity of

farmers are trying to profit by the les
