TRADE CONDITIONS.

Preparations For Heavy Fall Sales.
 Chicago Corn Market a Puzzle.
 NEW YORK, July 19.-R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says:
 Settlement of numerous labor contro- versies and prospect of early agree ments as to other struggles have great ly improved the industrial outlook, while agricultural conditions steadily improve
 Preparations for unusually heavy fall sales are being made, and conf dence grows stronger. Mills and fur naces that have been idle on account of the usual overhauling resumed as rapidly as needed repairs could be made. Financial conditions are sound, the midyear dividend distributions pro- ducing no stringency, and speculation has been heavy for the season both in securities and staples. , Pig iron continues to command full prices, supplies falling below require ments and furnace deliveries failing to fill contracts. Scarcity of fuel is still the principal drawback.
 Manufacturers of cotton goods hold prices steady, and there has been a distinct increase in demand during the past week, although buying is only for imperative requirements.
 Vagaries of the Chicago corn market defy elucidation. After rising to 90 cents last week the July option ab- ruptly dropped p cents, and it was announced that the heavy short inter- est had compromised with the oper- ators who had apparently secured corner. Rumors of enormous profits were circulated, but lacked confirma- ton.
 Gold holdings by the government vaults continued attaining new records each day, finally reaching $565,044, 179. There was no pressure in the foreign exchange market, rates holding steady.
 Failures for the week numbered 213 in the United States against 193 last year and 20 in Canada against g last year.

Heavy Rainfall In Many States
 Swell Rivers to Danger Point. KEOKUK, Ia., July 19.-HeaVy rains in central Iowa are sending a flood down upon prosperous Missouri farmers which will ruin many of them and cause losses aggregating at con- servative estimate $2,500,o00. There seems to be no hope for the country between the Mississippi river and it's Missouri bluffs between Keokuk and Hannibal 300 square miles, mostly corn laid by, with some thousands of acres of wheat in the shock. The wa ter had touched the danger line the first of the week and had begun to re- cede, when heavy floods started again in the Des Moines, Skunk and Iowa rivers.
 Yesterday afternoon the observer of the weather bureau at KeOkuk sent teiegraphic warnings to all points south to prepare for danger. The crest is expected here tonight. The Egyptian levee, which stood the flood just reced- ing after strenuous efforts to hold it, is only slightly above the water now, and the coming flood in the Des Moines Will CONeE IL CcIldlllly. IulS VIII lSL the water into hundreds of square miles, including the town of Alexan- dria, Mo. The Inhabitants there are preparing for an overflow of the entire town to depth of several feet. The worst feature is the time of the year. The corn crop is all made, and wheat is in the shock, entailing total loss of the years work. Crops were never finer, and the yield promised to be inn mense. Grain men say the above esti- mate of value is too low and put the figures of the loss from the overflow nearer $4,000,00O between Keokuk and Hannibal.
 It is believed the Illinois levees will hold, and the damage there is likely to be only $20,000 to $30,0 900 between Keo- kuk and Quincy. Heavy rains are re ported in southeastern Iowa. Lowland farmers, river men and the weather bureau observer alike predict the greatest damage ever known from flood on the upper river.

Beautiful Madame LIE Vert.

ITO no other woman of the South
we're there accorded SO often the trib-
utes of poetic and romantic fancy that
clustered around the name of Octavia
Walton; or Madame lie Vert as she
was known after her marriage" writes
William Perrine, in the Ladies' Home
Journal. "As a little child she charm
ed Lafayette with her brilliant CONVEX
sation-she spoke the purest of French
and later she was the friend of Clay,
Calhoun, Washington Irving, and, in
fact, of nearly all the prominent peo-
Pile of her day. Nor was her clever
ness u~nrecognized in Europe when she
made the first grand tour 1t was
there at a State ball in Buckingham
Palace, whittier she was escorted by
Joseph r. Ingersoll, the American min
lister at London, that she was presented
to Queen V%iictora. Presentations on
the occasion of a State ball were not
frequent, and the Southern beauty was
delighted over the unexpected compli-
ment. When the dances were over,
and the Queen was again seated, the
Lord Chamberlain waved his hand and
the company moved back, leaving a
vacant place around the royal chair.
Madame LIE Vert, with all eyes upon
her, approached and was presented.
Victoria advanced. and graciously gave
greeting, smiling sweetly as the Ameri-
can courtesied low before her. and then
passed to the group that encircled the
throne. About 2 o'clock in the morning
the Queen bade adieu to her guests.
Then one of the noblemen escorted
Madame LIE Vert around the picture
and sculpture galleries and presented
her to many eminent persons"

CURIOUS LONG ISLAND TRADER.
Has Everything In Stock From Wind
mi1ls TO Trained Horses.


The character in fiction who bought
a door plate on which was engraved
the name Of Thompson" with a "p."
because there might be a daughter who
would grow up and marry a man of
that name, has a parallel In real life,
say the New York Post. This worthy
lives ON Long Island, where, besides a
coy home, he has a vast barn filed
with bargains from a thousand auction
sales. No one knows how many objects
he possesses In his treasure house. Ac-
cording to rumor there were more than
10000 a decade Hgo, and the lest has
been growing steadily eve since.
On one occasion he secured some an
cient circus horses, which were so ac-
complished that they could do every
thing but talk, and for many months
he tried to persuade his friends and
neighbors to start a ~hippodrome In or
der to utilize his purchases. On an
other occasion he notified a party of ac-
quaintances that he had just secured
three misfit tombstones at a great bar
gain. By cutting out letters they would
be just as good as new, and would cost
only one-quarter the price of first-hand-
ed ones.
One evening when he was c~anYassing
FOR orders a friend who had become
wea pf his opportunities said:
ne4e, my good man, Inn sorry
that you never have anything | want,
or that | don't want what you are al
ways offering; but l would like to do
business with you"
The bargain hunter and museum
owner responded: IF there is any
thing you want l am sure l must have
iti'
The other unwarily replied: "There
is only one thing l need, and of course
| can't get that in this part of the
country. It's a steel windmill, like
those they use out in Kansas"
To his dismay his companion grasped
his hand theoretically. remarking: Il
knew it, l knew it. T've got just that
kind of a windmill in my barn!'
