RAINS THROUGHOUT

Kansas are expected to improve the de-
mand in the near future Excellent crop
prospects in Nebraska resulted in more
activity at Omaha, where the trade in
some lines is in excess of 1894
At Northwestern cities, Milwaukee,
Duluth, Minneapolis, ST. Paul and Sioux
Falls. there is the customary volume of
midsummer business with the prospects
of greatly improved fall trade. Lake
tariffs have increased and flour and lum-
ber industries are more active, and job
bers in general lines anticipate an early
increase in thesdemands for staples.
The feature of the week at the South is
in rather more satisfactory report from
Memphis, Chattanooga Augusta and
Galveston, where orders have been re-
ceived Tin some instances in excess of the
expectation, and the volume of business
Is larger than at corresponding perlod
last year. At such points as Charleston,
Savannah and New Orleans no material
change is reported compared with week
ago, and the like is true at Birmingham
Atlanta reports rather less doing IN the
dry goods, notions and groceries, but the
outlook for trade this fall is good. The
volume Of business has fallen off at
Jacksonville. The most disturbing In
fuence in Louisiana is the Withholding
of the payments of the sugar bounty.
The most conservative reports on the
Pacific coast come from Portland, Ore
gon, where the condition of trade is fair.
San Francisco ranks next with generally
improving condition of business and the
price of wheat steady. A large number
of vessels are afloat for that port to load
with wheat Seattle announces damage
to the wheat crop in Washington. and
not all the hop corp there will be picked
because of the low price, probably not
over 20, 900 bales. Business is more active
at Tacoma, where importations of tea
are heavy and exports of lumber increas-
ing.

New York, July 26.-Bradst1eet's to-
morrow will say the most striking feat
ures of the business week are the infiu-
ences of improved crop prospects and con-
tinued large demands for iron and steel,
with one of the largest makers in the
market as buyer of bessemer pig. The
most of the commercial and industrial
features of the preceding week are re-
tanned and the volume of trade has not
varied materially. In instances it is
larger than at corresponding period
last year, and trade in almost all lines
is fairly active for the season. The gen
eral tendency of merchantile collections
is toward greater ease Commercial travel
lers are being sent out in all leading
lines, and reports from those now on the
road appear to meet expectations.
THE TOTAL BANK CLEARINGS
in the United States this week are 1927,
600, 900, decrease of about 10 per cent
from the week before, and an increase
of fully 20 per cent compared with the
last week of July of 1894, while contrast
ed with the corresponding total in 1898,
this weeks gain is per. cent.
The price record this week is rather
more pronounced in showing the strength
of the upward tendency than last week
or the week before. Among the more
important staples, lard alone is reported
lower. Among the long list Of staples,
for which prices were unchanged are
wool, cotton, corn, sugar, pork, brown
and bleached cottons and copper. The
more conspicuous advances found in
wheat, bessemer, pig iron and steel bill

In o Toss.Cp Between Pittstou and the

Disappointed in love. penniless and
deserted. poor Susan Ryan, as she stood
before the magistrates desk in police
court yesterday morning. was certainly
deserving of pity. There was a fine OF
$3.50 against her for disorderly conduct
and in default she was about to be sent
up for thirty days. Chief Simpson
sympathized with her on account of her
forlorn condition and through his inter-
cession Alderman Millar agreed to dis
charge on condition that she would 60

Ing. Susan would not hear to this, how
ever. She vehemently declared that
she would go to Jail first Chief Simp-
son was determined that the woman
would not go to Jail and tried first to
reason with her and afterwards to
frighten her into accepting the alder
mans generous terms.
Susan Would Not Go.
With the latter end in view he direct
e0 Captain Edwards to convey ner back
to her cell to await the arrival Of the
patrol wagon to take her to the county
Jail. But Susan had had enough and to
spare Of Imprisonment and refused to
go back into the cell. Captain Edwards
attempted to carry her thither. but
tripped and both fell to the moor. The
woman set up such screaming that 1t
aroused the whole building and soon
the station house was filled with city
officials and clerks.
Mayor Connell, who was among the
first to reach the scene Of the disturb
ance. advised that no further effort be
made to coerce the woman, but to al
low her to have her own way until she
cooled down. This was done and after
a time she agreed to go to Pittston and
was furnished transportation and put
on the train for that place. =
Said She Had Five Hundred Dollars.
She Is a woman Of about "A years of
age and is not overly well balanced
mentally speaking. She claims to have
had $500 before she met George Shaw
