A BUSINESS FLOOD * Is Sweeping Over This Great Country of Ours. R. G. Dun <fc Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: The business flood is so . I s rong and rapid that conservatives fear it ’ may do harm. It is out of season in July. But seasons this year lap ever and crowd each other. May frosts and frights, it is now evident, kept back much business that would naturally have been finished before midsummer, and the delayed accumulation of one season gets in the way of the efforts to begin another on time. But the volume of business, however it may be measured, is remarkably large for the month, even in a good y ear. Exaggerated fears about the crops have passed: the syndicate is believed both able and determined to protect the treasury, and the time draws near when the marketing of new crops will turn into the national balance, if speculation does not hinder. The week has been notable for the sensational falling of wheat, S cents in two days, followed by recovery, though neither accords any interpretation of the quiet disregard of the government report. The sudden drop in prices was the result of speculative rather than commercial influences, though exports are not half as large as last year: 2,097.445 bushels, flour included, were shipped from Atlantic ports for the two weeks of July, against 4 227.915 last year and had t heir effect, as w ell as western receipts of 1.9*7. 474 bushels against 2,156,918 last year.

Hawthorn and 1 Lake City, securing booty aggregating sl2- ! tXW. In every case dynamite was used. ' It is said the robbers' rendezvous is in the ■ o'Keefinokee swamp, and local confederates inform them when to strike. They are well mounted, the leader riding a powerful black stallion. Posses have been organized and with blood hounds will follow the robbers. A MONSTROUS BLAZE. The Michigan Town of Wallis Wined Out.

A feature of the convention were the “sunrise” prayer meetings day in several of the churches. The masses

could not hope to go to the Endeavorers’ meetings, so the Endeavorers went to the masses. In other words, companies of delegates, represen t i n g different States, held model prayer meetings in big factories, stores and car stations during the noon hour. The greatest enthusiasm prevailed everywhere. In
