R. G. Dunn & Co., sum up the busi
ness for July as follows:
"More business is being done this
year than in any previous July of which
there are records. Payments through
the clearing houses have been 5.8 per
cent larger than in 1892, the year of the
greatest prosperity heretofore. Con
sidering that the purchases of nearly
half the people "depend on the success
of agriculture, aud that the p-i.-perity
of the entire transporting interest is
materially all'ectf11 by the size of the
corps to be removed, it may be said
with reason that the promise of general
prospeiity this year is unusually bright
Corn hae a little advance in prices ow
ing to reports of injury to the crop.
Wheat, on the contrary, dropped about
cents, with a prospect of a further
decline.
Sales of wool show a remarkable in
crease in large transactions for which
no prices are named, aggregate at the
three chief markets, 7,030,HOO pounds
for the week. The demand for goods
is rather better. The otiieial report of
iron production for the first half of
1898 shows an increase of over SOU,000
tons compared
Willi
the previous half
year, and what is far more important,
the consumjttion in manufactures ap
pears for the half to have exceeded the
output.
The failures in the United States the
past week wire 2i3, against 230 last
year."

NEW INDUSTRY FOR CRAWFORD.
The Crawford County Broom Company is
Organized and Commences Operations,
A new industry under the name of
The Crawford County Broom Co. has
been started, and promises to be a
thriving venture. Messrs. M. A. La
Fountain and R. A. Pence are the pro
moters of the enterprise.
They have secured from W. W.
Thompson, of Hannibal, New York,
the exclusive right to manufacture and
sell in this and Shelby county the
patented broom called "The Farmer's
Broom" which is Mr. Thompson's in
vention. The article itself is a very in
genious affair. By a simple aud strong
clasp made of malleable iron the brush
is held in place and whenever it be
comes worn out it can easily be le
placed with fresh broom with only 1
few seconds work. With each bron 1
sold the company gives material f«r
three renewals of the brush and also 1
package of broom corn seed from which
the owner of the broom can raise biomn
corn enough to keep himself supplied
with brooms. In case the handle lie
comes broken another' can easily be tit
ted to the broken clasp. The brooms
ue sold at one dollar each, material
for three fresh brushes and broom corn
seed being given with each broom,aas
stated above, and also the family right
to the manufacture and use ol: the ar
ticle.
There are many other good points
about the invention, among which is
the fact that one can make a broom
that will exactly fit his taste and needs
in style, weight, length and stiffness.
The invention seems destined to prove
a popular and quick selling one. Al
ready a large number of sales have
been made, although the plant has only
been operation a little over a week.
It is probable that some ten men will
be employed in the shop and upon the
road as soon as the company's work is
in full operation. Messrs. La Fountain
and Pence are well known in this city,
and have the good will of all in their
new enterprise.
