Business the Past Week Has Been UnusuHAs
~ Brisk.
New ToRRSJuly 13.-R. G. Dun Zoos
weekly review of trade says: a BUSH
ness flood so strong and rapid that con-
servatives, 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 rights. it IS now evil
dent, kept back muchi business that
would naturally have been fCished be-
fore midsummer, and the delayed ac-
emulation of one season gets in the
way of efforts to begin another on
time. But the volume of business how
ever, it may be assured, is remarkably
large for the month, even i'm . good
year. The. exaggerated fears about
crops have passed, the Syndicate is be-
lieved both able and determined topro--
tect the treasury, and the time draws
near when the marketing of new crops
will turn into national balance if
speculation does not hinder:
The week has been notable for a
sensational fall in wheat of s. cents in
two days, followed by recovery of 5,
cents, though neither accords any in
depreciation of the quite. disTegarded
governments report. The Sudden drop
in prices was the result of speculative
rather than commercial influences,
though exports not half as large as
last year-a,O97, 645 bushels flour in
cluded)-from Atlantic ports for two
weeks of July against 1924 s5 bushels
last year, had their effect, as we'll as
western receipts of 1,93z,474 bushels,
against 27156, SIS bushels last year.
This news indicates an enormous crop
of corn, the largest grown, if the
weather favors, but the price is only
Is cent lower than a week ago. Cot
ton has aot changed, though specula-
ton sti3l turns wholly on prospects,
regardless of enormous stocks carried
over.
Wool is still advancing with enor-
nous sales, 12,7i4, 900 for the week and
in two weeks of July, 90, 497 ,614 pounds,
as against II 1856, $50. in the same weeks
of 1892. AS the sales are about four
times the weekly consumption, it is
expected that the market is essentially
speculative, but the rise abroad has set
the country ablaze so that western
holders are asking even higher prices
than heretofore. But buying by most
manufacture is already affected and
ut the prices now asked for wool some
manufacturers are doubling whether
a corresponding value for goods can
be realized.
The failures this week have been 253,
against PAT last year.

Cambridge, padded into position, in
order to meet Cornell in the fourth
heat of the trial races for the grand
challenge cup, the Englishmen met
with a rousing reception. Trinity
Hall was first at the starting point
and took the Bucks position. Cornell
was slow in taking up her position on
the Berkshire side. The word ego"
was given at 1882 p. M, and Cornell
first caught the water and started
with a stroke of 46 to Trinity's ~.
Cornell was half a length ahead
on turning into the course after pass

runners began tC encourage the Amer

and increased her lead to length.
Trinity was then splashing slightly.
Cornell made the = mile in minutes
&c seconds, but passing Frawley Court
Cornell went to pieces and the British
ers took the lead, which they kept,
winning the race by eight lengths.
When home was reached the Cornell
crew was in a sadly demoralized con-

able to handle their oars. Over-train-
