had certificates from the commissioner of

SOMEWHAT RETARDED BY FLOODS

of Present War Talk.

of Present War Talk.
Bradstreets weekly trade review says:
s'The favorable features of the week in
distributive trade have been the reports
coming, with few exceptions, from all
parts of the West and Northwest, and
married only by the check to business and
shipments caused by heavy rains and high
water in the Ohio valley. The unsettled
condition Of our relations with Spain is
credited with exercising some effect upon
immediate demands and upon future un-
dertakings in the eastern portion of the
country. But the two industries, cotton
and wooden, most complaining, are those
in which conditions other than foreign
complications have for some time past
been working toward depression. Flour
and corn exports are larger this week, but
those of wheat are smaller. The total
exports of wheat, including -four, aggre-
gate 3,S96,31S bushels, against 3,619,Oo6
bushels last week. Corn exports aggre-
gate 4,496,000 bushels, against 3,941 ,SI4
bushels last week.

try might be perpetuated. The public for
