POLITICAL TURMOIL.
Largely Responsible for Trades
Feeling of insecurity.

New York, July 11.-R. c.. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review OF trade says: With
Iolitical convention in progress, directly
antagonizing the position taken on the
money question by the convention of
last month, 1T Is natural that there has
been with many enough uncertainty
about the future TO intensity the dullness
expected at this season. 1t is not only

but much more the millions who have
not accurate knowledge of political con-
ditions, and are liable to be impressed
by the strong assertions OF partisans.
who are supposed to have that know
ledge. But in stocks and in other busi-
ness, the week was one OF waiting. with
n somewhat prevalent feeling of inse-
curity.
The wheat market advanced n little
while other speculative markets were
stagnant, or slightly declined. but its
small advance was mainly due TO re-
ports OF foreign crops and needs. Corn
and oats promise so well thus far that
prices do not advance, although excep-
tionally low already, and some meats
have made n new record for cheapness.
Serious apprehension regarding in
jury. by drought TO cotton in Texas
seemed justified by some dispatches pub
lished last week, so that telegraphic ad-
vices OF somewhat general rain in the
state Is welcome.
Closing of mills and shops about mid
summer is by no means unknown In
prosperous years. The cotton mills have
for some time been overloaded. even
more than is usual in a dun season. and
temporary stoppage was the only re-
lief. Nor have woolen goods improved,
but the tone Is rather less hopeful. and
the demand for goods is even more slack

Some decrease appears in the demand
for boots and shoes since higher prices
have bccd asked. but where manufac-
turcrs have orders for as long ahead as
they think IL safe To contract. having In

THE HUSBANDS TURN.
lrenIus A. Ceren Sues His Wife for
Divorce and Makes Some Rather
Strange Charges.

Columbus, Ohio. 1t will be remem'
bered that Judge Pugh a few weeks
ago refused to grant divorce to Mrs.
Sarah A. Geren, Fl I'm Irenius A. Geren,
the well-known contractor. She filed
the suit last April, and it was not
heard until last October. The hus-
band made no defense and did not ap'
pear in the case until Judge Pugh had
him brought in and compelled him to
testify. He explained the charges
made by his wife and the result was
that the wife was refused decree.
Yesterday Mr. Geren, through Attorney
d. Z. Ramsey. filed petition for di-
vorce, which is quite lengthy. The
parties were married at Marietta, O.,
July IA, 1876, and have three children.
Mr.. Geren had children by a former
marriage. He charges that his wife
has been guilty of gross neglect of
duty and extreme cruelty for more
than three years. He alleges that
during that period she has constantly
circulated and given publication to all
sorts of unjust charges and accusations
against him, accusing him of being un-
chaste, cruel, given to drink and of
having committed adultery. Prior to
that time both plaintiff and defendant
belonged to the Broad Street M. E..
church, and Mr.. Geren says that he
was so overwhelmed at the accusa-
tions of his wife and feeling his dis
grace so keenly he was forced to sever
his connection with the church.
Mr. Geren then alleges that his wife
treated his children by a former wife
cruelty and succeeded in driving them
away from home. He says she called
them vile names and otherwise abused
them. She induced person by the
daughter Bessie, with the view of hay
ng him marry her, and thus get her
out of her stepmother's way, though
she well knew that the father did not
look upon the marriage favorably.
a pril II, 1895, Mrs. Geren notified her
husband that she intended to leave
the house. The filing of her petition
was designed to injure him in the eyes
of the public, and in furtherance of a
scheme. Mr.. Geren says that priorito
that date he had given his wife the
homestead at 457 East Rich street, and
other property worth $4,000, only re-
serving for himself a small part of his
estate. He asks for divorce, his
property free from dover and the priv
ilege of seeing the children at reason
able times.

The year just closed was the most

More wells were mompleted and opera

than ever before. While there were
other years when the production was
greater, there are none that exceed it
in the volume of operations. Over
1909 wells were completed in Pennsyl-
vania oil fields, 1901 in the Buckeye
fields and 1907 in Indiana, making a
grand total of $4,000, or an average of
oyer a thousand per month.
