Hot weather and crop damage reports
overshadoWed and ruled the stock mar.
ket during the week, causing lower prices
for most securities, limiting trading, and
affecting all commercial lines of business
to Il greater or lesser degree. While the
situation is regarded as a serious one, it
is confidently believed that the reports
of crop damage in Iowa, Nebraska, Kan
sas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas have
been greatly exaggerated. Estimates SO
far made indicate a decided shrinkage i'll
the yield of corn this year. but this is in
measure made up to the farmer by
higher prices for his grain.
The full extent Of the damage to crops
is not yet known and the uncertainty is
still to be removed. Definite information
is anxiously awaited throughout the
country. The recent soaking rains in the
West have materially arrested deteriora-
ton and enabled the farmers to plant
fodder crops, thus minimizing in a meas
ure the damage to corn. 1t is recognized
that the farmers are now financially
strong, having prospered of late years
The steel strike has been gradually
working to an end. The buying of steel
stocks under heavy demand had good
sentimental influence and steadied the
market. The position of the coal stocks
is particularly strong, while those of the
granger roads have been, as rule, CORE
spondingly weak. The general trade sit
uation is most favorable, and the termi-
nation of the steel strike and break in
the drought in the West will stimulate
broader activity in nearly all ines.
The earnings of a large majority of the
railroads throughout the country for the
first three weeks in July show material
increases and gains over the correspond
ing period year ago. There is a short
age of freight cars for moving the i'm
mense wheat crop, and the granger lines
have about all they can do. The "com-
munity of interest" agreement of West
ern roads to stop rate cutting on freights
was Jared during the week by a report
that one Of the principal roads was cut
ting under the tariff For time it look
ed as if the agreement would go to
pieces, but Wall street financial and
banking interests again came to the res
cue and rates were restored.
Money for commercial uses is easy and
lenders experience difficulty in placing
funds even at low rates in Chicago and
New York. There is little speculative de-
mand for money, but an Improvement is
looked for in this direction as soon as the
extent of the crop damage is known.

WORK OF BAPTlSTS.
Great Convention of Young People in
Chicago Comes to End.


In a great chorus Of praise, with re-
joicing over a spiritual awakening, and
looking forward in pleasant anticipation
to the meeting next year, the greatest
convention the Baptist Young Peoples
union ever held came to an end in Chi
cago Sunday night. The attendance was
the largest recorded, there being 10000
persons present. Additional interest
was added to the sessions during the
week, as this was the tenth anniversary
of the organization, which was formed IN
Chicago.
Too much water even for Baptists de-
tracted from the closing days exercises.
The rain during the afternoon had the
effect of reducing the attendance from
what it had been on other days. The
downpour, which had been prayed for in
many sections of the West, interfered
with the personal comfort Of those who
found their way to the Coliseum, but did
not dampen their enthusiasm.
Water beat through the windows, and
little streams dripped down among the
delegates. Umbrellas were raised, and
the rattle of the torrent against the huge
building, the flash of lightning, and the
roll Of thunder, and the warning ele-
ments without were met with songs of
praise and peace from within.
Led by the convention chorus, service
of song was held in the afternoon, which
Included a solo, ''The Ninety and Nine"
by Mrs. Lillian French Green, of the En-
glewood Baptist Church. Following this
the Rev. Fred P. Haggard, missionary
from Japan, made an address on 1.-The
Missionary Situation" He said there
was a great growth Of Christianity in the
Mikado's land, converts being reported
at the rate of 100 day, an unprecedent-
ed record in the far East. He said there
were 6,305 converts last year d&e to the
work of the missionaries.
The keynote Of the assemblage this
year was "Kingship," and that was
taken for the subject Of the convention
sermon delivered by the Rev. e. 3. Chiv-
ers, of Brooklyn. He said Christ's was
O spiritual dominion, and that it was
more important to attend to spiritual re-
form than to social improvement.
The evening meeting began with a
praise service, followed by addresses by
the Rev. L. w. Terry and the Rev.
James B. Cranfill. The Rev. William H.
Geistweit, Of Chicago, led the consecra-
ton service, with which the convention
formally closed.
Following is the representation of visit
ors and delegates as registered during the
convention:

The brick pavements of Kansas City
were very freakish during the recent hot
wave. The continued terrific heat ex-
banded the brick, and as the curbing
would not give, and the pressure be-
came greater, the middle of the street
would suddenly spout up brick like
volcano. This was an actual happening
in several sections of the city. Bricks
were thrown as high as ten feet in the
air. and some went sideways with great
force.

DR.. D. r. Mccullough of Seattle,
Wash.-Contrary to the usual opinion,
the gold from Alaska has not gone to the
East in great quantities. Seattle has
been chosen for banking the bulk Of it,
and now none of the dozen banks of the
city is capitalized for less than $1,000
600, while several have a still greater
capital.
J. S. Thompson, Assistant Manager of
the Pacific Mail Steamship Company at
Hongkong- Hongkong is the greatest
port in the world. The commerce of the
port of New York amounts to more than
$200000,000 less than the commerce Of
the port of Hongkong. That is big
business itself, and when it is added to
bulk of business like that Of the port Of
New York it becomes something great.
The entire commerce Of the port of New
York is a little over $300,000,000, and
that is a big business; nearly double it,
and what do you think it must be?

B. E. Hambleton of Santiago-The
manufacture of ice is a thriving indus
try in Cuba since the Spanish war. 1t
Is really amusing to watch the Cubans
crowd around to purchase ice. All classes
and conditions that can raise the price
elamor for it, and they clamor all the
seasons of the year. During the heavy
rains the demand is lighter, but there is
no very appreciate difference. Santiago
has had ice for many years, but the old
plant we found in the city was practical
ly incapacitated Since the cessation Of
hostiities all the Cuban cities Of any
size have been well supplied with mod
ern machinery for the manufacture OF
ice, and it is to the Cubans an indispen-
sable commodity.
A. J. Lasher Of Salt Lake City-Prac-
teal miners are what is needed in the
Alaskan regions. 1t is the same, l sup
pose, with all mining countries-there are
too many lawyers and tailors and book
keepers, who always rush into a new
country. These men, nine times out Of
ten, make failure of business they do
not understand, and then come home and
roast everybody and the country besides.
Even in Alaska gold cannot be picked
I'D by the bucketful, and it Is not fair
to have any country sized up by the ten
derfeet.
