2 MIDSUMMER QUIET BUSINESS IN MOST LINES RE PORTED AS MERELY HOLD ING ITS OWN. I THE COTTON CROP 7,500.000 BALES The Rush ot Orders for Steel and Iron Leads in Interest, Displaying Re markable Strength—More Failures Thau in the Same Week Last Year— TheW heat Crop W ill Lack 100.000,- 080 Baskets ol a Full Crop. New York, Aug. 2.—R. G. Dun <fc Company’s weeklyßeview of Trade, which issues to morrow, will say: “There is a perceptible halt which may deceive if attributed to wrong causes—, Trade two months late in the spring pushed forward into July a large share ot business belonging to April or May. Seeing a rush of orders out of time, many imagined it would continue, and hurried to give other orders. The jam of two months business into one lifted prices. Then other orders came to an ticipate a further rise. But the mid summer halt was inevitable and it is yet somewhat uncertain how much improve ment will appear after it. The crop of corn promises to be the largest ever grown, and is almost out of harm’s way. The crop of wheat appears, from later accounts, perhaps, 20,000,000 bushels smaller than was expected a month ago, and had the best hopes been realized it would have been more than 100,000,000 short of a full crop. Cotton has lost a little and more people seem to believe in 7,500,000 bales than believed in 8,000,000 a month ago. Larger stocks than were immediate ly wanted have been taken by traders as Slices were advancing, and these tend to mit future orders. The general advance in many products also causes reluctance to purchase, and the distribution of the past half year has been in part to make up worse stocks and individual supplies depleted in the two years of economy. On the other hand, there has been enormous increase in the working force and a considerable increase in the wages paid, which enables people to buy more freely. Strikes of some importance ap pear,' but do not yet threaten to last long, though a strike of coal miners for a time affect business somewhat exten sively. The hopeful spirit prevailing in nearly all markets may find its warrant in spite of some shortage in crops. Business in cotton goods has been the largest in July for several years, reck oning deliveries, but not large as to new orders. A further advance of one quar ter cent per yard has been made with moderate demand for some bleached and brown goods, and prices are firm for sheets and drills, while colored cottons are quiet, with occasional advances. Sales of wool have been only 6,072,450 pounds for the week, against 9,336,400 in 1892. Cotton has risen an eighth in price, wholly on bad condition reports, but at the lowest estimate the year’s yield, with stocks carried over, will exceed the world’s demand. Failures for the week have been 261 in the United States against 230 last year, and 28 in Canada against 44 last year, firadstreet’s Review'. New York, Aug. 2. —Bradstreet’s to morrow will say: The week presents a larger volume of trade in many lines and at many points than in the weeks before and one year ago. The rush of orders for steel and iron leads in interest, displaying re markable strength. Vfester& njanufac- Utrers have been obliged topureba*? JSast ern - Uileti to meet, their orders. Another conspicuous feature of the week is the evidence of reviving confi dence on the part of western and north western interior merchants now that the corn and spring whoat crops promise well. Tnis is shown plainest at Chicago, St. Louis, Milwaukee and St. Paul where orders and sales to buyers in person have increased to a striking extent. At the South general trade remains as of moderate volume a3 previously noted, Nashville and Galveston alone reporting s material gains. There is a better out look and feeling at Charleston, but else where mid summer quiet rules. Delay in paying the sugar bounty affects trade very unfavorable in Louisiana. Exports of wheat (flour included as wheat) from beth coasts of the United States and from Montreal show a moder ate increase over a week ago, the total being 1,460,000 bushels a gain of about 200,000 bushels. This is due to increased exports of flour, principally from New York, Baltimore and Newport News. This week’s total of wheat and flour ex ports of 1,460,000 bushels is contrasted with 2,977,000 bushels a year ago, 5,- 662,000 two years ago, 3,978,000 bushels in the corresponding week of 1892, and 4,038,000 in a like week of 1891.

Special to the News and Observer. Winston, N. C., August 2. A serious shooting scrape occurred in Rock Creek township, Wilkes county, this week. It appears that some moon shiners went to the home of a young man by the name of Prevett, under the guise of white caps and called him out. As soon as he put his foot on the ground he received the contents of a shot gun iu the head, face and neck. Prevett claims to know who three of the parties are. The moonshiners charge him with re porting them to the revenue officers. Rev. Samuel A. Purdie, for twenty four years a Friend’s Missionary in Mex ico, is attending the Biblical Institute, which is in session at Blue Ridge Mis sion, Surry county. He has edited a paper for twenty-three years in the Span ish language, aud published many school and religious books and tracts, which are widely circulated in Mexico, Central and South America, as well as the West India Islands and Spain. His last labors in the ministry, prior to going to Mexico, was a visit to the Friend’s meetings in this section of North Carolina. The mortuary reports show that there were 18 deaths in Winston during July, 5 whites and 13 colored. In Salem there were 8 deaths, 7 white and 1 colored. Some one went into the tobacco field of Mr. Frank Scott, near Enterprise, Davidson county, a few nights ago and pulled up four thousand hills of nice, growing tobacco. It is announced to day that a reduced schedule of rates for fire insurance upon business property of Winston-Salem i? now in effect. The reduction from former rates will average about 25 per cent. The Friend’s yearly meeting opens at High Point on the 7th inst. Several dis tinguished visitors from abroad are ex pected to attend. Mr. Robert D. Warner, of Washington City, is one of the early arrivals. The Salem band, which is perhaps the oldest musical association in the State, has been offered the appointment of reg imental band for the First North Caro lina regiment. Tie members have the proposition under consideration and will probably accept. President Edmunds, of the Winston Tobacco Board of Trade, reports the sales of leaf tobacco on this market for July to be 623,483 pounds. The ship ments ot manufactured tobacco during the month were 1,088,095 pounds. The stamps sales aggregated $85,285.71. Marvelous Results. From a letter written by Rev. J. Gun derman, of Dimondale, Mich., we are permitted to make this extract: “I have no hesitation in recommending Dr. King's New Discovery, as the results were almost marvelous in the case of my wife. While I was pastor of the Baptist church at Rives Junction she was brought down with pneumonia succeed ing La Grippe. Terrible paroxysms of coughing would last hours with little in terruption and it seemed as if she could not survive them. A friend recom mended Dr. King’s New Discovery. It was quick jn its work and highly satis factory in results.” Trial bottles free at I John Y. Maeßae’s drug store. Regular size 50e and sl. j In the Morning Dui!
