deavor convention in San Francisco
was made and shipped long ago. AS
for the Fourth Of July trade, that
keeps the presses going from early in
January until a week before the day.
Most of these flags are made in New
York. One concern is said to control
four fifthS of the business Of the coun-
try; but if it had any disposition to
create monopoly 1t could not do so,
because every. awning maker in the
United States is a flag maker. All the
flags of the army are made in the army
and navy establishments.
The cheapest flag you can buy is the
muslin flag, 2XS inches, at fourteen
cents gross. The most expensive
article in the regular store stock is a
handmade silk flag for 500; the largest
is 40 feet long. Silk flags can be bought
for thirty cents a dozen, and you can
have a silk flag made at cost of ST., 900
if you like. A great many flags cost
ing $3.50 and 5000 are made every year.
and an order for an $500 flag would not
be considered remarkable. Yet the de-
mand Is for the cheaper flags, and the
bulk Of the business is in the printed
muslin kind.
The muslin flags and the cheap silk
flags are printed on fast presses, like
a newspaper. A web of muslin or
silk is fed into the press and it comes
out after the one operation printed in
two colors on both sides. The muslin
is in oil colors. which will not run,
but silk flags, are not in fast colors,
and they should never be exposed to
the rain. Oil colors on silk would run
in printing and they would cake and
grow hard afterward.
The printed web is cut up into indi-
vidual flags under big knife operated
by steam power, which goes through
several hundred thicknesses Of cloth
at once. The little sticks on which
the flags are to be mounted are made
up in the country, and are shipped to
the city by the carload. Sometimes
the web is shipped uncut, to be used in
draping buildings and halls

MARKET SUMMARY.
FINANCIAL

CHICAGO, July S1.-The July deal in wheat
expired today gently at 751ac. Liverpool
sent nc quotations, and, although the con-
tnental markets we're higher September
closed only 1sc higher in this market Corn
averaged strong, but eased off with wheat
gaming &c. Oats were dull and unchanged
provisions opened active and higher, but
lost the advance, showing 212@5c loss. L.v-
erpool Is keeping holiday, but London cable
grams quotel the cargo market strong on
account of continental demand. New York
advices of about 200, 900 bu having been sold
there for export yesterday were an element
in creating the strength with which the
wheat market started here. September, which
closed yesterday at 741ac, was wanted at
from 747sc to 75Ac, at the opening and rose
in few minutes to 75hc. 1t reacted to
74&c, and followed that by another quick
advance that ended at 751a@755sc. The lat
ter bulge was due in some measure to an
advance in July wheat at New York, Of
nearly &c per bu. The bear leaders came to
the front and sod freely over 75c. The
crowd took the same side, and plenty of
long wheat came out. Wheat delivered on
July contracts-as, much as 100000 blu, it
was said-had some influence in checking
the bull feeling. The indications that the
visible would, Monday, show another con-
siderable increase, and that primary market
receipts would be still further increased next
week, had effect in inspiring caution in
buying. The receipts at primary Western
markets today were 100000 blu against 543,-
600 blu last year. Of today's receipts
Kansas City got 217,00O Blu. Chi
cago had 176 cars, 157 of them
new, against POI last year. The quaint ty
inspected out of store was 129, 600 blu. The
total quantity received at Chicago this week
was $4,000 blu, against shipments of 1896, 900
blu, the first week this season that the re-
ceopts exceeded the shipments. The week IS
clearances Of wheat and flour were equal
to 234S,O0O bu from both coasts, against L.
$4,000 blu the week before. The exports
from Atlantic ports for twenty-four hours
were equal IN wheat and -four to 1875, O0J blu.
September wheat opened %@5sc higher at
74B@75Bc, advanced to 751aQ75%c, and de-
clined to 749sc for causes already mentioned.
1t did not rally again to over 741sc and
later 1t declined to Aye, and closed at 743sc.
Corn got very strong start, and Closed at
a small fraction higher than it did the day
before. September started A@1Ac higher at
28@2S1Ac, declined to 273s@274c and closed
with sellers at ,277sc Oats were dull. Sep
TENDER opened at l7$4e. touched 1734 0177sc,
and declined to 17hs@174c, closing at that.
Provisions were tame in the absence of out
side orders. September lard closed 81 80:
ribs at $40, and pork at $685. Estimates

Hobbies Supplied to Order.

A certain gentleman. whose offices are near
the Strand, has built up a large business
connection by professionally advising people
as to what hobby to adopt ..-..-
His advice is always based as far as pos
sible on pretty accurate knowledge of his
customers temperament and occupation. And
a queer fact is that several doctors have-dis-
covered his worth and are sending their
brain-fagged patients to him for treatment
just as they might dispatch them TO a den
fist for toothache.
Almost every one knows, there is a marked
fashion just now for hobbies of all sorts and
to the wealthy person who is too busy or too
lazy to start one for himself this hobby mer-
chant has become a perfect boon. Suppose
you wish TO take up orchid collecting. You
simply call at his modest looking little office
one morning and leave your order. The whole
thing is conducted with the strictest conf
dence, aud within the same month your con-
servatories are stocked with an orchid COL
lection which is the envy of the countryside.

600 worth of flags which were dis
played on independence day this year
will be thrown away. All these will
be replaced a year hence. Truly the
flag makers has reason to bless the
American habit of celebrating patriotic
anniversaries.
There is no business more capricious
than the nag business. That was illus
trated during the campaign of last
November, when people who favored
the election of Mckinley and Hobart
were asked to display the national
colorS on the Saturday before election
day. New York city on that day saw
a greater display of ''Old Glory than
ever before.
Ordinarily New York is not so patri-
otto as some other of the larger cities
of the United States In fact, flag
makers say the greater demand for
flags is from the Western cities. But
on flag day the New York dealers
were swamped with orders, and the
demand could not be supplied. In Chi
caSo there were not enough flags to
go around. A million more banners
could have been used if 1t had been
possible to secure them.
1t is estimated that 100000 worth of
flags were displayed on that occasion.
an amount equal to the normal bust
ness of an entire year
The conditions were extraordinary.
however. Usually a big demand for
nags can be pretty we'll foreseen.
Dealers all over the country keep their
eyes on future dates when flags will
be needed. For example, this year the
dealers in Philadelphia saw that a
large supply of flags would be wanted
when President Mckinley visited the
city to help dedicate the Washington
monument. They notified the flag
makers several months in advance and
there was sufficient supply on hand
when the day came
The demand for decorations for
Grant day in New York was anticipat-
ed. 1t amounted to about $4,000. A
supply of flags for the Christian En-
