HAVE SOME FEARS. Conservatives Apprehensive of the Itaphl Business Flood. New York, July 15.—R. G. Dun & Co. in their weekly review of trade, says: "A business flood so strong and rapid that the conservatives fear It may do harm is out of season in July. Hut the seasons this year lap over and crowd each other. May frosts ond frights. It is now evident, kept back much business that would naturally have been finished before midsummer, and the delayed culmination of one season gets In tho way ot efforts to begin another on time. Hut the volume of business, however. It may be measured. is remarkably large for the month. "The week has been notable lor a sensational fall In wheat of eight cents in two days, followed by recovery of five cents. The sudden drop in prices was the result of speculative rather than commercial Influences. "The latest news Indicates an enormous crop of corn, much the largest ever grown if weather favors, but the price Is only \c lower than a week ago. Cotton has not changed, though speculation still turns wholly on prospects, regardless of enormous stocks curried over Jn Europe the manufacture lags, but here It Is satisfactory "The weekly output of pig Iron was 171,194 tons, having risen 13.970 tons In June and other furnaces have gone into operation since July 4. The rapid rise In prices has brought into operation many additional works, und there Is still a rush to buy before prices advance further. Influential manufacturers are sending out warnings that the rise may easily do mischief, und prices have in fact advanced nearly 6 per cent in two weeks, hut are still 16 tier cent, lower than in October. 189.’. Wool Is still advancing, with enormous sales. Cotton goods continue active and strong. It Is not the season for activity in hoots and shoes and orders have fallen off Prices of shoes, leather and hides are as stiff as ever Foreign trade Is not quite as encouraging, exports for July showing a large decrease S The failures for the first four days of July show liabilities of $1.258 600. of which 1836,434 were of manufucting uud $702,000 of trading concerns Failures this week have been 253 in the United States, against 247 last year, and *5 in Canada, against 49 last year. ” AUGUST SILVER CONFERENCE. Senator Jones, of Arkansas, Tells Why It Was Calleil. Washington, July 16. — Senator Jones, of Arkansas, who joined with Senators Harris and Turpie in issuing a call for a conference of silver democrats in Washington August 18. has written a letter to a friend in Washington explaining the origin of the call and the purposes of the meeting. He says: "At Memphis, after the adjournment of the meeting there, a number of democrats from different states had a meeting at the Gayoso hotel, und after consideration that meeting requested Senators Harris. Turpie and me to take steps to organize the silver democrats so that they should be tutrly represented In the next national convention. We concluded that the best way to do this was to first organize a national central comiuitteo of silver democrats, consisting of oae or more members for each state, and let these members look after the organization of their own states. To select gentlemen for membership of th's committe by correspondence seemed slow; hence it was concluded to Invite o ic or more gentlemen of character and experience from eucn slate to meet In Washington and select, if they thought well of It. this central committee. This is all there is of it as l understand." The general impression seems to have gone out that this conference was to be a mass-meeting. Senator Jones’ statement puts it in a different light.
