SUNSHINE in The CLOUDS
RAINS BRING BRIGHT PROSPECTS
FOR FUTURE BUSINESS.
Even the AbnormaIIy High Range Of
Prices Is Expected to Be Broken
Grain Markets Are Better.

The recent rains have given an entirely new
aspect to the business situation. II has i'm
proved the outlook for wheat, corn, pasturage
and hay-an important items in the way Of in
surfing a good fall and winter trade. and to
say that the wholesale merchants are in much
better spirits than one week ago is no ex-
aggeration AS expected. with the coming OF
summer weather, some lines OF trade grew more
quiet, but il is no more so than usual; in
fact, merchants speak OF trade as being very
satisfactory in all lines. the only drawback to
business being the high range OF prices on
several lines of goods and, unfortunately, such
lines as come into general consumption, more es-
pecially meats. The rains, however, Will soon
bring down prices of meats as pasturage i'm
proves. Most lines of groceries and flour con-
tinue to sell at reasonable prices. and this does
much toward lettering the situation. The poul-
try, egg and butter markets continue at a
high range-such prices have not been realized
in many years; in fact. never before in the
month of May. So long receipts are no
heavier and the demand so active, present prices
are likely to prevail The financial situation
could hardly be better. Tax paying time is over.
bills well paid up, money is plentiful, and
though many lines Of goods are sold on close
margins, merchants are enabled to profit by
doing business, and promising are crop pros

How Gen. Grant Lost His "Hiram." !"

Not many Americans know that Hi
ram L. Grant was the eighteenth Pres,
ident Of the United States. Yet it is
true. for ulysses Simpson" was never
legally the name Of our greatest Gen
eral This interesting fast is brought
ont by Franklin B. Wiley in the La
dies Home Journal, in Famous PeO-
pie AS We Do Not Know Them" The
story Of how it came about was told
by member of COngress-ThOmas l..
Hamer who recommended young
Grant as candidate for West POin,
in 1899. Mr.. Hamer had long been a
friend of the Grants, but when he
came to make out the application pa
pers for Ulysses he could not recall the
boys full name. So. deciding that he
was doubtless named for his mothers $
family. he wrote it Ulysses Simpson
Grant" Thus was it recorded ut West
Point, and though the attention of the
officials was several times called to
the error they did not feel authorized
to correct it. This name was grad
ually adopted, and by it Grant was,
and always will be, known. But as
for any record of the birth of Ulysses
Simpson Grant," that does not exist.
