SOLDIERS SWIM IN KANKAKEE.

Shelby, Ind., July 23.--Saturday night the 27th infantry camped on the banks of the Kankakee and Sunwas spent at Fair Oak. The country store at Orchard Grove where the soldiers camped Friday night, was stripped of every kind of merchanon its shelves. The tramp through the sand through Shelby was the hardest of the entire trip. Sevtimes the commissary wagon stuck in the deep sand and required the assistance of the men to move it. Colonel Pitcher has wired the war department for permission to discard the new Mirian packs, which it is very evident, are too heavy for the men to carry on such a tramp. The regiment remained four hours at Water Valley during which time evsoldier had a swim in the KanRinger's store arid Geo. Strubel's

(By Henry Clews, Banker). New York, July 22.--General busiapart from real estate speculais satisfactory. The iron trade continues active, and while prevasentiment is hopeful there is a notable absence of unreasonable or too optimistic expectations. The tex

tile trades show considerable imrovement, merchants taking hold with more confidence owing to good crop prospects and a more settled outlook as regards cotton and labor. Both clearing house returns and railearnings continue to testify as o the general activity of trade. We have had another week of good growing weather and very shortly the harvest will be under full swing. There has been no diminution in the prospects for a large wheat yield and the condition of the crop remain exCotton is also progressing well, with the prospects of an ample crop of good quality. Corn seems to be somewhat backward, but the plant is in fine condition and ready ro respond to a period of warm weather, which is all that is needed to give us a large and profitable

yield. Agricultural prospects, as a whole, are better than usual and have only once been exceeded in the history of our country. As a result of good agricultural conditions, as well as continued development of our national resources, there is a strong and hopeful feeling amongst all parts of the

business country, tempered, however, with more or less conservatism, arising from the fact that signs of overdoing are occasionally visible, also recognithat expansion has been going on for a period of unusual length and must sooner or later run its course. Our export trade is highly satisand one of the strongest elein the business situation. The total merchandise shipments in June amounted to almost $125,000,000, the largest June on record and $4,ahead of the same month in 1905. The June imports were also the largest on record for that month, the total being over $100,000,000, or $10,000,000 ahead of the same month last year. The excess of exfor the month was $24,000,000 compared with $30,000,000 a year ago. During the fiscal year just closed our excess of exports was the heaviest on record, amounting to over $517,000,000. Our net imports of gold during the same period were $57,600,000, which considering that the United States is a large gold

producer shows a heavy increase in

our holdings of the precious metal.

The great banks of Europe may be able to hold on to their present

stocks, but the chances are that the

United States will be able to draw to itself the bulk of new supplies by better interest rates and in payment

for exports.

In all probability our breadstuffs

and cotton shipments will soon begin on a liberal scale and provide an

ample volume of exchange, thus fagold imports. This week

we secured $2,500,000 gold and more is likely to follow in spite of the Bank of England's efforts to retain

the precious metal. Unless develop

ments in Russia interfere, our bank

ers are in a position to exercise a

powerful influence in the exchange market and the situation warrants

their using that power for strength
