have for some time past shown con-
siderable jealousy on account of the
inroads made by American manufact-
urers into their home markets. This is
particularly the case in Austria, where
Il retaliatory tariff has long been
threatened, and in Germany, where the
feeling is bitter, while the CONNER
cal sentiment in Russia toward the
United States has not been of the
friendliest character.
While American manufacturers have
held their own in Russia, it is con-
ceded that a combination of all the
European nations to raise Il tariff bar
rier against American goods would be
Ia serious blow to this country. 1t
would, in fact, be an attack upon Amer
lean trusts moredangerous than amy
Legislation which could he proposed
here, because it would at once deprive
those trusts of the profitable markets
which they find abroad and in which
they sell their surplus products for
less than they charge the American
consumer.
The belief is expressed in we'll in
formed circles that an international
tdIlil pdtIleI can nol NC i.'iacu as7'.'it''s
the United States because of the ieal-
ousy and rivalry of foreign nations.
The goods which Austria desires to
keep out might be the goods which
France would like to import. 1t is
conceded however, that this jealousy
is the only obstacle in the way of a
combination against the United States
At any rate, it is confidently expected
that when the cars conference is held
there will be considerable discussion
as to the best methods of preventing
American manufactures from flooding
the European markets.

HUGE REALTY MERGER
New Workers Form combina-
ton With a Capital OF $780,
100000.
John W. Gates Said to Be at
the Head Of the Gigantic
Deal.
Will Operate in Real Estate and
Undertake Heavy Construc-
ton Work.

New York July 19-Plans have been
definitely agreed on for the combination
of the strongest real estate corpora
lions and the most prominent con-
struction company i'm the country in a
new concern. to have q capital OF more
than $60,000,O0O james Stillman, John
w. Gates, Charles Nj. Schwab and Cor
nelius Vanderbilt are among the men
who will he interested in the Few COM
pany. Three corporltions-the George
A. Fuller Company, the New York
Realty Corporation and the Central
Realty Bond and Trust Company-have
decided to unite, and two others-the
ance Realty Company--will be included
in the merger if they find the terms
offered to them acceptable. The pres
ent aggregate capitalization of these
five concerns amounts to $22,000,OOO-
SO far us the New York Realty Cor
poration and the Central Realty Bond
and Trust Company are concerned,
their capitalization.
The men who direct the affairs of
the New York Realty Corporation and
the Fuller Company and the Central
Realty Company have agreed verbally
upon the terms of the merger, the price
ut which their respective securities are
to go in and the prices to be offered
for the stock of the other companies.
1t is planned to have the consolidated
company issue 6 per cent preferred
common stock to an amount exceed
ing $50 000000-its exact total being
naturally undetermined yet, because
of the uncertainty as to whether the
Century and Alliance Realty companies
will come in-and to issue bonds later
as funds may be needed for prospective
improvements.
The business of this new trust is to
be two-fold. the construction work to
be handled by the Fuller Company and
the operating in real estate by Albert
Fake and Robert Bowling, now the
active vice presidents of the New York
Realty Corporation. AS the three COM
panies which have decided to merge
control a number of important prop
critics susceptible of Improvement, the
new trust can Immediately take up the
sees fit. Chief among it's objects is the
saving of expenses, such as the COM
missions of agents, which amount to
many thousands of dollars a year up
on a single big office building.

ANOTHER FLOOD DUE
Recent Storms Have Increased
the Danger to the Missouri
Farmers.
Hundreds OF Acres Will Be
Flooded When High Waters
Reach Lowlands.
Damage Between Quincy and
Keokuk Will Amount to Over
100000.

| Keokuk, July 19.--Heavy rains in the
central part of Iowa Thursday and Fri
day are sending Hood upon Missouri
farmers which will ruin many of them
and cause losses aggregating at q con-
scrvative estimate two and a half mill
Lon dollars. There seems no hope 70:
the country between the Mississippi
river and it's Missouri bluffs between
keokuk and Hannibal. Three hundred
square miles mostly of corn is laid low
with some thousands of acres of wheat
in the shock. The water had touched
the danger line the first of the week
and had begun to reced when heavy
floods started again in the Des Moines,
Skunk, and Iowa rivers causing another
rise which sent the water over the
levees.
The increased rise in the Missouri
was prevented from running out freely.
\ rise of foot and a half at Davenport.
last night is coming down rapidly. The
crest of the rise is expected here Sat
urday. The Egyptian levee which stood
the flood just receding, after strenuous
efforts to hold it, including the destruc
ton of farm houses to secure lumber
for strengthening the dixie, is only
slightly above the water now, and the
coming flood in the Des Moines will top
i'll certainly. This will cause the flood
ing of hundreds of square miles. The
Inhabitants of Alexandria expect the
town to be flooded to depth of several
feet. Crops in such a condition may
be entirely destroyed and the years
work made total loss. Grain men say
the estimate of value is too low and put
the loss at nearer four millions between
keokuk and Hannibal. 1t is believed
the Illinois levee will hold, and the
damage there is not likely to exceed
100000 to 100000 between keokuk
and Quincy Heavy rains are reported
in southeastern Iowa yesterday and
last night, and higher water is expected.
Lowland farmers, river men and the
weather bureau alike predict the great
the upper river.
Reports last night show tremendous
rains along the Des Moines river and
tributaries. Six inches fell at Corydon
and nearly that much at Ottumwa. The
rains fell all ever this section last
night, with two inches as the general
many reporting five. Late
reports show half the country between
LAGRANGE and Hannibal was under
water long before the crest of the flood
arrived.

ACTRESS WINS WILL SUIT.
Celebrated Bennett Biisgar Case Set
tied hx the Courts.

Long Branch, n. j., July 19.-The
| celebrated Bennett Biggar VIII case
was settled here yesterday afternoon
Heirs of the late Henry NJ. Bennett, OF
! Pittsburg, Pa, who died recently at his
stock farm at F'armingddle, Monmouth
county, decided to compromise and al
low the will to be probated.
The will of Henry Bennett was made
oil Sept. %, 1901. His housekeeper
Miss Laura Biggar. an actress of New
York, was bequeathed the greater por-
/ tlcn of his estate. By the provisions OF
the WILD, which will now be admitted
to probate, Miss Biggar will receive 81,
600 in ten days and $1,S00 annually as
| long as she lives. She is also be-
queathed 60 per cent of his Pittsburs
stock and Il house and lot at ll9 East
| Eighty third street, New York, for life
a lot of iewelry is also given her. The
estate is said to be worth 100000.
Laura Biggar was married to Bert
Haverly, the minstrel, but left her hus-
band after meeting Henry Nj. Bennett,
the millionaire horseman, in Pittsburg,
Pa. Haverly sued Bennett for $4,000
for the alienation of his wifes atfec-
tions, but the case was settled by the
granting of divorce.
When the will was read Miss Biggar,
lit was found, was given almost the en-
tire estate. Mr.. Benefits former Sec
rotary received 100000 and his broth
law received a farm valued at
100000.
The will was contested in June by Mr..
Benefits nephews, on the ground that
Miss Biggar eAerted an undue influence
over their uncle. Several witnesses tes-
titled that Mr.. Bennett was of clear
mind at the time of his death Miss
Biggar did not attend the first hearing,
being i'll in private sanitarium in Ber-
gen Point, N. j.
BY the terms of the will, the contest
over which was decided in her favo.
yesterday, the estate will at her death
go to her 15-year-old son Willis.

Dun G. Co.'s Review.

r. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of
Trade today says:
Settlement of numerous labor contro-
yersies and prospect of early agree
ments as to other struggles have great
IL improved the Industrial outlook,
while agricultural conditions steadily
improve AS these have been the only
unfavorable influences for some months
the prospects for active trade are de-
c:dedly encouraging. Preparations for
unusually heavy fall sales are being
made and confidence grows stronger.
Mills and furnaces that have been idle
on account of the usual overhauling re-
sumed as rapidly as needed repairs
could be made. Financial conditions are
sound, the mid-year dividend distribu-
ton producing no stringency, and spec
ulation has been heavy for the season,
both in securities and staples.
Manufacturers of cotton goods hold
prices steady and there has been dis
tinct increase in demand during the
past week.
Export trade has increased thru buy
ing for India, but China is less of a
factor than usual.
Eastern shoe shops receive more or
Gers, some of the larger producers re-
fusing contracts calling for delivery
before October. Prices are firmly held.
Crop prospects have continued fa-
vorable. and with the removal of specu-
lative influences there was a gradual
decline in prices.
Failures for the week numbered 213
in the United States, against 1870 last
year, and twenty in Canada, against
thirty-two last year.
