UNCERTAINTY SOON TO END When Presidential Campaign Assumes More Definite Shape There Will Be Less Restriction. New York, July 1. Advices from special correspondents of the Interna tional Mercantile Agency indicate that leavr rainfall in sections of the south west has proved a deterrent to general tasstnesB. This, however, will be more than compensated for through benefit to the crops. Although jobbing in terests still complain of slow trade, results already achieved are better than a year ago, with promise of In creasing July volume. "' J Boot and shoe manufacturers still Bave more work than they can attend x Millinery has not been in so good demand this week. Hats and caps are showing up well, and orders from country districts suggest increased con sumption of groceries and drug sun dries. As soon as the presidential cam paign, takes definite shape an element cat sncertainty which has had impor taut bearing on the general business situation will be eliminated. The south has become this week the Brightest spot in the whole country. mm far as sustained trade and general consumption; Is- concerned. Chicago wholesalers "are doing a fair trade in oeneral merchandise. Pittsburg, for the first time In many weeks, Is becoming hopeful over the steel outlook. Sellers are refusing to tie vp at low prices, and, while fur naces continue to go out of blast, shrewd observers expect a revival of railroad business as soon as Increased earnings, which are now becoming snore pronounced, are effective. The Seeling- is general that the heavy pur chasers of steel rails will be forced tato the market before long through sheer necessity. The Iron and steel industry In general is picking up. Textile manufacturing Is still at low ebb, with little prospect of immediate Improvement. In New England the shutdown of riming interests Is restricting con sumption of general merchandise. The outlook for excellent yields for all grains is all that could be expected. Words were exchanged. May sud-1 100 years old.

HIGH-PRICED ORCHIDS. Many Perils Are Undergone in Secur ing Rare Specimens. It costs time and money and some times life to gather some flowers. The flowers are not the fortune telling daisies, the silky petal ed roses or the buttercups growing beside the dusty road in the tall grass. They are the fragile orchids living in the humid jungles of the tropics. To find these men are willing to take journeys of two and three years' duration and cost ing much money, besides risking their lives. It is said that many enthusiasts have lost their lives from fatigue and from diseases caught in the pestilential cli mate which so well suits many of the. richest orchids. Some of the finest of oxen were required to draw It from the forest to the coast for transporta tion over sea. Among the fine collections Is that of Baron Schroeder of the Dell, who has a collection occupying 23 houses, al most under the massive towers of Windsor castle.

A story Is told of one orchid which proved to be an unusually proflltnble speculation for the owner. He was a wealthy English Iron merchant, and bought the plant from a dealer near London for J 1375. The plant proved to be an umnuinlly line specimen, so fine that the owner divided it Into ten parts. Of these he sold eight for sums which brought the total receipts up to $10,000. The firm from which he bought It originally, henrlng of this, fried to buy from him one of the parts. He refused to sell It for less than $5,000. notwithstanding the fact that he would still have one part remain' lng. It. 8. ROWB. Oeneral Agent, A. & C. R. R. TIME CARD.

MURDER AND SUICIDE. former New paper Man Kills His Wife snd Then Himselg New York, July L After a separa tion of a year and a half, Lester Hay, formerly connected with a Brooklyn newspaper, has killed his wife and ewmmitted suicide at Ocean Grove, N. X Mrs.May had been living with her mother and was walking toward her Borne -with her 4-year-old child when she encountered her husband. of these queer plants have been found in swampy jungles and almost Impene trable forests. Weeks are spent float ing down rivers in South America on rafts. From these rafts the collectors gather large numbers of the orchids, which hang from the branches of the trees over the water. The insects which are attracted to the flowers are In some Instances dangerous to human life. In such cases the tree is cut down and towed through the water until the Insects-have been washed off. Sometimes snakes are found in the trees. Lives have been lost from attacks by these, or from wild ani mals. The hundreds of natives who have been hired by collectors as guides and porters have added to the num ber of those whose lives have been sacrificed. The loss of life Is not always due to tropical fevers, the bites of danger ous Insects, or the attacks of reptiles and animals. Sometimes a collector is killed by a native for his money, and Is never heard from again. A collector who expects to be gone two or three years may take with him treasure to the amount of from $30,000 to $50,000 to cover his expenses. Only a few years ago a London nrm sent a col lector to South America. It was ex pected that his trip would take at least two years, and he carried with him $40,000. He never came back out of the South American forest. It was supposed he had been murdered for his money. Orchids are found in a number of different tropical countries. Some of the finest are said to come from the Philippines. It is believed that there remain In these islands many choice varieties to be discovered. They are found also in India, Australia, Brazil, Mexico and other countries. There are persons who collect or chids as others do coins or postage stamps, paying large sums for single plants. It Is said that a sum nearly twice as large as the largest price paid for a tulip bulb In the time of the famous tulip craze, $5,200, was paid In London last year for one plant, and that the stock of another is valued at $10,000. The highest valued orchid is said to be in the collection of Sir Trevor Lawrence of Dorking, England. Its value has not been tested by sale, however, as the owner cultivates or chids for bis own pleasure solely. Miss Gould Is said to have paid $5,000 for one plant Some orchids are so large that large teams are required to move them, and so old that they outrank the lives of most men.
