new York. August 11.--Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say: Crop reports and prob
abilities have constituted an important
contribution to general trade and business
advices this week. Among the unques-
tionably favorable features have been the
reports regarding the corn crop; govern
ment estimates pointing to yield Of
probably 2,2O0.ooO,o0O bushels, a heavy
increase over last year and almost within
touch OF the record total OF 1896. Spring
wheat Indications apparently bear out
crease in condition during July. The re-
duction OF 25,o00,oo0 bushels In the prob
able outcome estimated however, still al
lows of total wheat crop Of 5S5 1000, 900
bushels, considerably smaller. 1t is true,
than last years, but with the exception
of 1898 and 1891 the heaviest recorded.
Cotton crop has deteriorated, as in
dicated by the government report and
prices are lac higher on the week on a
decline OF nearly points over July and
nearly II points as compared with year
ago. Visible supply of cotton are nearly
100000 bales larger than at this time
We're In 1897, but against this Is to be
cited the generally profitable business In
manufactures the world over and the
belief that good spinners' grades may be
scarce.
The iron and steel situation is partic-
ularly interesting at present, though not
especially active at Eastern markets
Western advices are of heavy demand,
scarce supplies of material. high prices
and increasing volume of business booked
for next year. The July production OF
pig iron was the largest ever known, but
in spite of this stocks showed decrease
and current production is easily at the
rate Of 100000 tons a year. The an
nual railroad car famine Is apparently
about at hand. reports of insufficient
transportation facilities being particularly
prominent in the coke and coal industries,
Hides, leather, boots and shoes are SYM
pathetically strong and at convention
of shoe manufacturers at Philadelphia this
week partial agreement to advance
prices of the finished product was reached.
Wool is firm on steady manufacturing de-
mand, especially for the finer grades of
domestic and advces from the manufac-
turing industry are generally favorable.
Lumber is firm, as is also sugar, for
which an unprecedented demand is looked
for during the current canning season. The
outlook in the canned goods trade gener-
ally is reported very good

BRADsTREET's FINANCIAL.
A Rather Bullish Temper Prevailed
for the Week.

| Tor The Week.
/ New York, August 11.-Bradstreet' S
Financial Review tomorrow will say: A
rather bullish temper prevailed this week.
in spite of the continuance of narrow pro-
fessional speculation. A slight relaxation
of call loan rates, which, though by no
means general nor to all appearances as
suredly permanent, resulted in quotations
of 21a@31s per cent toward the end of the
week, had a good effect and supplemented
the favorable conclusions of Wall street
about the crops and their results in con-
nection with railroad traffic and earnings
There was disposition to take an exag-
gerated view of the significance of the
secretary OF the treasury's order to resume
the issue of gold certificates to the extent
OF $10,000000. The plausible view OF this
matter Is that 1t Is an experiment, which,
If successful in relieving the demand Tor
notes, will be followed by return 10 the
more or less unrestricted issue OF the GER
tifcates in question. The market, how
ever was influenced for q moment by un-
founded reports that the plane Of the
treasury included an increase in the gov
ernments National bank deposits or other
measures calculated to help the money
market while subjected TO the pressure or
the crop movement, combined with the
augmented demands arising from the ae-
tivity of business
Increased interest Is shown In the con.
dition of the Western banks and In the
question of how far they can provide the
money needed to harvest and move the
crops without any large demands on New
York for assistance, the matter Is being
emphasized by the fact that considerable
amounts of money from other cities are
said to have been loaned In New York this
week. The further decline in exchange
referred to elsewhere and the probability
of gold imports as soon as the autumnal
grain export movement begins. was an
additional reason for the increasing anx-
iety with which Wall street regarded the
Question of higher money rates as an OBJ
stacle to aNfurther exhibinon Of bullish
fspeculation. Consequently, the frmnees
OF time money. which has been held az
4M05 per cent, has decidedly less influence.
though in conservative quarters the ne
csssIty OF caution Is urged In view OF the
high prices for securities and the prob
ability that money will command perma-
nently better rates.
London was hardly factor In this mar
ket except SO far as the action. OF It's
money market influenced the financial
situation here. In spite Of its strong un-
dsrtone, the market has been somewhat
spasmodic and Irregular and In the bond
department the combined effects Of dull
ness and higher rates for money produced
some concessions. particularly among
bonds bearing low rate OF interest," but
which sell at high figures.

STARTED WITH ACOLD."
So Says One Of the Greatest of american
Physicians and he Proves WHAT he Says

1T is surprising what mistakes even
some of the best people in the world
make"
The speaker was one of the greatest
doctors the world has ever known, and
he resides in New York.
Take for example one of the most
common things in the world. namely, a
cold. People speak of taking cold,
there is really no such thing
"A cold is symptom-an effect, not a
cause. Did you ever know an absolute
ly well and healthy person who took
cold? l never have, even under the
greatest exposure. Yes, indeed. cold is
a symptom not u cause"
The gentlemen and ladies to whom the
doctor was speaking exchanged looks of
establishment. but they did not dispute
the words of the learned doctor.
You may be surprised" he continued,
when l tell you that nine-tenths of all
colds occur because those great organs
Of the body, the kidneys, are out of
order"
More men and women are troubled
with imperfect kidneys than with any
other known form of disease. The I'M
fortunate thing about it is that they do
not know that this is their trouble.
why? Because all difficulties, de-
rangements and disease of the kidneys
which come to both men and women are
usually without any pain; in fact. with
out any symptoms whatever and this
proves just what | said at first, namely,
that "a cold is symptom
There was look of amazement upon
the faces of his hearers.
Indeed" continued the doctor, most
deliberately and earnestly, IL assert that
the grip. which has been so disastrous,
which has brought so much trouble into
the world, would never have had its run
if the kidneys of those who had suffered
from it had been in perfect condition.
These great organs, if unclogged, would
have thrown the disease from the sys-
tenn so that the grip would have been
unknown"
mo there is but one great discovery
for the prevention and cure of all kid
ney difficulties-that grand remedy,
Warmers Safe Cure. No class of people
know or realize this better than the
medical profession, and no class is more
ready to acknowledge it."
'''rake my word, anyone who is care
ful upon the first approach of a cold or
grip and goes right to the seat of all
colds-the lkidneys-will not suffer long
from cold; will not be oppressed by the
grip and need have no fear of pneu-
monia, because the kidneys. unclogged,
will open up the system and throw the
germs of disease out of the body. You
can depend upon this.

WANTED BACKGROUNDS
To Chase Barn-Burners Down Near

A little excitement was caused
here yesterday by telegram

from Mr.. w. G. Petty, of Carthage,
asking for bloodhounds to be sent on a
special train. The authorities readily as
sented to the furnishing Of the blood
hounds, but they We're not sent as the
special train idea was abandoned. There
were all kinds of rumors> afloat as to
what these dogs We're needed for. a
telegram was received, however, which
stated that a barn belonging to Mr..
Samuel Mcintosh near Carthage had
been set on fire early in the morning be,
tween two and three o'clock and the
hounds were wanted to chase the mis-,
cfeants down.
