COMICAL FISHING CONTEST.
Hundreds of Competitors Took Part in
the Fun.

very amusing competition for fisher
men has Just taken place in Brussels.
The contest. which was international.
brought three fishing clubs from France
The prizes, which ran up to several
hundred francs. were to be awarded TO
those who caught most fish in a given
time. Hundreds OF competitors appeared
on the scene. clad in a variety of conf
cal costumes.
Fishing took place in the lake in the
Bois de la Cambre and the Tuelles
ponds. all noted for their finny inhabit-
ants. Round the banks the fishermen
sat for hours under a broiling sun In
serried line. gravely watching their
floats. All the rods had to go into the
water at given signal, and every half
hour they were raised again by signal
Whenever a fish was caught, be it great
or be it small a gun was fred.
The first fish caught in each group was
cooked for the feast and, minnow or
whale. served on a bed Of parsley. The
dish was carried solemnly to the presi-
dent. who rose and bowed gravely three
times to tho unconscious fish, after
which 1t was paraded round the room
and saluted by all the members Of the
club in turn. At the close of the din
ner the president proposed the health of
all fish.-London Express.

market. July ranged from 76 to 10, and
closed 1913; September, 1888 G73M, and
closed 74H gas; December, 7ihG7iA

were generally lower owing to continued
favorable weather. Liverpool closed

fairly good demand for cash wheat here.

there for export. Trade has been fairly
large all day.
Corn-There was a fairly large trade
in corn today and the market ruled weak

heavy selling by bears. July ranged

Provisions opened lower on decline in
hogs and most of the day ruled dull and
easier, but later brokers were put in to
stimulate the market and advanced it
easily on near futures, but could not
move the far futures at all. The market
closed with slight gains for the day.

THE MONEY MARKETS.

NEW YORK, July 3.-Money on call at
the stock exchange today opened at s
per cent: high, 6; low, AZ; last loan,
AZ.
The time money market was unchang-
ed. The tone was steady. but the vol
ume of business was small. The de-
mnnd was principally for six and seven
months, but lenders were not inclined
to loan literally. Rates were quoted as
follows: Three and four months. AZ per
cent, and six and seven months, Az per
cent on good mixed collateral. The COM
mcrcial paper market continued quiet
Rates were quoted at IA per cent for
priilc .ndorsed bills receivable, and 4H.6l
per cent for choice single names.

ters az reported by special foreign cables
were as follows: London, ZIG per cent; ;
Paris. 2s-1G per cent; Berlin rs per

The foreign exchange market contin-
ued firm, but without quotable change
in rates. There was falling off in the
demand for bills rs compared with the
previous days of the week. but the offer
ings were again very small. Paris was
buyer of gold in the London open mar
ket today, and 1t was said that should
the market maintain its present strength

THE COTTON MARKET.
Bears Forced to Cover Freely on the
Government Report.

NEW YORK, July 3.-The Govern
ment report was undoubtedly disap-
pointment to the bears. who covered
freely, especially as there was no rain
in western Texas. and not very much
east of the Mississippi, and fair weather
was predicted for practically the whole
cotton belt during the next thirty-six
hours.
It was considered enough that even al
lowing for the fact that the data came
down only to June 25. the percentage
was lower than had generally beeA ex-
pected, and Wall Street local operators,
the South and in fact everybody was
buying. fearing further unfavorable de-
velopments over the three holidays.
The spot sales IN Liverpool today were
Is, 900 bales at 1-l6d advance, and
futures there at one time were up 8
to American points. Texas, by Gov
ernment report. has derived little or no
benefit from the recent rains.
The market closed steady, with quo
tations 3 lower to IA higher as compar-
ed with yesterdays closing prices.

Wet WEATHER HURTS
RETAIL DISTRIBUTION
The Midsummer Dullness in
Complete Control.
Extent of Damage, However, Not CAL
culable at Present-Stock Prices
Continue Strong

NEW YORK. July 3.-"Bradstreet's
Saturday will say:
Weather and crop conditions have
been first in evidence this week, d.
vers influences. affecting different sec
tions to help or depress trade. Through
out the northern half of the country,
from the Atlantic Coast to the Rocky
Mountains, except in some parts of the
Northwest. cool wet weather has injur-
ed or arrested crop development. hurt
retail distribution, and checked reor-
ders and fall business with jobbers.
Touching the latter, however, it might
be mentioned that the present week
marks a between-seasons period, and
rarely witnesses activity in wholesale
distributive lines.
Texas Drought Broken.
1.-The breaking of the Texas drought
is reflected in improved trade reports
from that section OF the cotton belt
west of the Mississippi. On the upper
South Atlantic Coast crop conditions
have been favorable, and trade measur-
ably helped thereby, but extremely hot
weather IN the Middle Gulf section IS
complained of as affecting crop and trade
conditions.
Warmer dry weather is inperatively
needed in the Northern and Western
sections Of the country If summer trade
is to reach H.. fiji development. Eastern
cities note the check given by the
weather to retail trade and the sum-
mer resort business. Pacific Coast trade
advices are rather better. and with
large crops, a good salmon pack and
active lumber trade. and large gold re-
ceipts from the North, good business
is looked for.
Grain Markets Excited.
Grain markets have been considera
bly, excited this week by the heavy
and almost torrential rains reported in
the Central West. Winter wheat har
vcsting has been interfered with. the
oat crop has been damaged, and the
growth of the corn crop has been ar
restal. These facts are patent
ITO Just what extent injury has been
done remains for warm. fine weather
to disclose. 1t is significant. however,
that Bradstreet's trade reports fail
to reflect the anxiety said to pervade
grain speculative circles. Shorts who
reasonably enough figured on large ul-
innate yields, have played into the
hands of the bulls, who controlled cash
supplies OF grain, and been badly pun
ished.
Stock prices at New York continue
strong, although activity is restricted
by the two days stock exchange holi-
days at the end of the week. Last
weeks favorable revie~ of six months
trade is confirmed by the returns of
bank clcarings and failures for the half
year.
Aggregate Clearings.
THE aggregate of The countrys clear
ings is only 10 per cent less than
year ago. although stock speculation
at New York was less than one-half
as active and outside of New York
there is gain of practically 7 per cent
shown.
Failures for June and the second
quarter are among the smallest in
record for those periods, and only twice
in fourteen years has there been a
better record for the six months Pc

NEW YORK, July g. - Contrary to

today. and in spite of profit taking in
ciaental to the suspension of business
nn the stock exchange from this after
noon until Monday, the market develop
ed very strong tone. The heaviest
transactions were from the shares OF
the railroads that traversed the princi-
pal wheat and corn producing sections,
namely, Illinois Central, Missouri Pa
cific, Atchison, and st. Paul.
These stocks enjoyed net advances of
] to 354 points, the greatest improve
ment being in Illinois Central, which
was second only to l.. & n. in respect

was stimulated by advice both from the
West and from the Government Wealth
er Bureau indicating fair and warmer
weather in the sections that produce the
greater part of the countrys surplus
product of wheat and corn.
