The domestic money markets are
fairly firm and at the east the demand
is noticeably in excess of the supply
owing to the special demand at this

demand for funds for use in CONNER

The dry goods trade with Eastern
jobbers is active. Owing to the re.
classification of railway freights on
dry goods the shipments from New
York have increased very materially.
Sales of wooden dress goods, both
American and foreign, have been
heavy. Cotton f1annels have also
been in active demand. Plain cottons

clothing is active. Print cloths are
steady.
Pig iron is very firm and any ma.
terial gain in demand is likely to
cause increased production. Scotch
irons are shade higher, about 25
cents per ton. Steel rails are stiff at
$3.50 per ton, at which figure makers
are receiving about 81 profit. No adj

The Kansas corn crop will be larger
than expected, which has helped
trading in that region. The spring
wheat crop in Minnesota is also in
excess of late anticlpations. The
price of wheat has declined to some
extent, owing to expectation of heavy
deliveries to the increased visible sup
ply and to freer selling by holders.

hands of our late lamented senator,
Hon. A. B. McKaig, by whose hands
it passed rapidly and unanimously

would suffice to make them Democratic.
The next election win probably be a
very close one. II the Republicans sue
coed 10 making 4 state out Of Dakota,
giving them three more votes in the cleo
total college, they will gain that much
Of an advantage which the Democrats at
present see no means Of onsetting.
Under these circumstances II docs not
require much Imagination to see the
possible advantages to the Democrats by
the support Of the silver dollar. Four
teen electoral votes depend upon the
action Of the present congress If.
through the agency Of Democratic votes,
the silver dollar Is preserved, and the
party becomes so Identified with it as to
be called the savior Of silver, against the
Republican party, which by the same act
win acquire the reputation of being its
foe, there is an almost positive assurance
that the Democratic presidential candi-
date in 1883 can count upon the votes
Of the three silver states. They will be
found where their interest lies. Their In
terest ia with silver; the Democratic
party is with silver; therefore they have
most to expect from an alliance with that
party.
These may be some of the considera-
tions that impel general Democratic
support of the silver dollar, and they may
also account for the shakiness of some OF
the leading Republicans, whose past ut
terances and present associations led us
to look for them among the ranks of the
antl-silver statesmen. Senator Sherman
and Senator Evarts have been counted
upon by the advocates OF suspension; the
former by virtue of his known Difference
to the opinions of bankers, the latter by
virtue Of the influence OF an anti-siyer
constituency behind him. Both these
gentlemen are in training for the Repub-
llcan nomination, They don't want TO
offend the silver states, and thereby en-
danger their election, If either of them
shall be chosen TO lead that party. That
keeps Evarts silent and makes
Sherman bring in a compromise silver
bill, which is intended to offeud nobody. |

In response to the above letter TI1r
GAZETTE Is daily IN receipt of replies en-
bodying the views Of the county Judges
Of Texas As soon az the responses are
all IN, they VIII be given to the pu6lic
In the Sunday GAzETrK. The road and
school laws OF the state vltally affect
the people in every day life, and THE
GAZETTE has sought the views
of county judges on these sub
jects, because OF the famil-
iarity OF the Judges with them. THE GA
zEITB has not gone over the answers and
knows not their nature, but, If divergent
views be expressed, It must be considered
that Texas Is vast empire in extent and
the minds of men cannot escape the inau-
ence of localisms.
The GAZETTE believes the views OF the
county Judges will be OF interest
and value to the public They will be
given to the public with that hope, as for
that only were they solicited.
These views will be crowded into as few
issues of the Sunday GAZETTE as the
number will permit and, if possible, the

yer, It is indicated bya careful poll Of the
members that the Republicans will gener-
ally support the proposition TO suspend

rule. Some Democrats from the East are
opposed TO the further coinage of silver,
and some Republicans from the West are
friendly to the silver dollar; hut, as a
party, the Democratic organization VIII
cling.to the silver-dollar coinage, and as
a party the Republican organization will

Its success to the adverse vote of the Re-
