NEW YORK PRODUCE EXCHANGE
DUN'S REVIEW.

New York, July 13.-Dun says: Gen
eral business continues its even course
with all the leading industries well en-
ployed and with confidence expressed
on every hand. Bountiful crops of
wheat seem assured and the damage to
corn, while considerable in some sec
tions, does not promise to be sufficient
ly general or serious to at all impede
the progress of the country.
Labor troubles are in process of set
tlement and spectators have been re-
sponsible for most of the unrest which
has been reflected in the markets.
Steel mills are actively employed and
there is distinct Improvement in the
demand for unfinished products while
quotations are without alteration In
bars for use by makers of agricultural
implements there is brisk movement,
plates are taken readily and there is
no sign of diminishing purchasing in
structural materials. Rails are order
ed freely.
Improvement is general in the foot
wear industry, although no higher
prices can be obtained.
Textile lines have settled in a steady
position that promises lasting prosperi-
ty. In jobbing circles it is thought
that trade will not be prosecuted vigor-
ously until August but statesmen on the
road send in good orders.
Manufacturers are well employed and
exhibit increasing interest in raw ma
terials. Wool has not altered in price
but the tone is firmer and the sales are
increasing. In the cotton goods divi-
sion there is nothing new, recent ad-
vanced prices being fully sustained and
mills keeping wheels inmotion as a
rule. The raw material has declined.
Grain crops this season are OCCASION
ing much uneasiness among spectators
owing to the extremely complicated sit
rdhon
According to latest official and un-
official representations there is reason
10 anticipate the heaviest wheat yield
ever harvested. There appears avail
able for export about fifty per cent
more than went abroad in the year of
the greatest shipments. Yet the prices
are far above the low record and vigor-
GUS rallies follow each decline. Ex-
tensive needs abroad continue,
Corn exhibited remarkable strength,
the drought and heat giving reason te
expect less than the official report,
which indicated more than two billion
bushels. This cereal is now at an ex-
ceptionally high point and estimates of
200 million for export are too high, as
foreigners will not buy freely at the
enhanced value.

UNLUCKY
In Love and He Lived the
Life of a ReCIuSe.
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
Massilon, o., July 13.-The news OF
the death of Alexander Gum. of Cleve-
land and Zoar at Nordheim, Germany
was received with evidences of pro-
found grief at zoar. the communistic
settlement south of here. Gum, though
rich and educated, lived the life of a
recluse at Zoar, and many years ago
when money was scarce and the Zoar-
ties needed large sum to tide them
over, he promptly let them have $40, 900,
taking a mortgage on their property,
but accepting no interest.
Gum was an epicure. The simple
Zoar folk could never understand why
such a rich man did his own cooking,
but he used to say that $4,000 would
be necessary to provide him with the
kind of cook who could prepare the
dishes as he wished them. and that he
didn't feel like paying the price.
Gums log cabin at Zoar is palace
within. The paintings and furnish
ings generally represent fortune.
Gum had liven in seclusion at Zoar for
thirty years. The only trips he allow
ed himself into the world were an oc-
casional visit to w. G. Whitney, Of
New York. with whom he had been in
innate from childhood, and two months
in California during severe winterS
When Gums health began to fail he
went to Europe at the advice of MI
Whitney. He was 65 years old.
People at Zoar say Gum was mis-
anthrope and woman hater when he
first came among them. He was prom
inent in Cleveland society thirty years
ago, but an unfortunate love affair
turned him against the world.

By Associated Press.
New York, July 13.-The feverish
and erratic market for stocks through
out today's short session was due to the
hesitation engendered in the minds of
bears by violent break in the corn
market and by the large recuperation
in the condition of clearing house
banks disclosed by the weekly bank
statement.
There were two sharp rallies.
Neither rally held with any firmness
and the market closed with renewed de-
clines at many points on realizing and
sharp advances in individual stocks.
The evidence of continued pressure to
hquidato in opening dealing was most
marked in U. S. Steel stocks. Recent
market leaders, st. Paul, Atchison and
Union Pacific lost one to two points, but
came up vigorously when the break in
corn in the Chicago market was report
ed. The recovery in corn sent the
prices of stocks down again.
