W.. CHAMBERLAIN 4 Co.'S report

w. J. CHAMBERLAIN 4 Goa report
Of April 1st is to tho effect that
trade from all points shows con-
tinuation Of the quiet which over
shadows the land. Clearing house
returns from fifty cities show q de-
crease of 3 per cent from this time
last year. Failures have occurred
in various cities, and the total since
January have increased s per cent.
The various iron markets report
flatness almost without exception.
Copper has reached a point where
consumers feel measurably safe to
lay in some supplies, and sales of
about 3,OOO,00O pounds have been
made at IA cents with guarantee
of any reduction that may be made
during the run Of the contract. Pig
lead shows an increased activity at
somewhat better prices. New York
showed total of 1900 tons running
from $4.35 to $4.45 per hundred,
the time for delivery extending al
most to June. The demand for sill
yer in India and London has fallen
off and the market is without spe-
cial feature.

SOMEBODY has nominated Hon.
J. NJ. Ballantine for Governor on
the democratic ticket in 1892. We
had the pleasure Of Mr.. Ballan-
tyne's acquaintance in the "auld
lang syne' of Idaho, and are in
clined to second the nomination.
He is an excellent gentleman and
democrat, and would make a good
governor. But it is too early to
bring gubernatorial candidates into
the field yet, as no one can now
predict what conditions may arise
between this and the meeting of the
nominating convention in 1892, or
what changes occur to give direc-
ton to political policies. By or
ganization and the employment OF
ordinary political shrewdness in
the conduct of their party move
ments, the democrats can surely
win in the coming campaign in this
state. To do this, however, they
must be thoroughly organized; the
convention must be composed OF
men chosen by the whole demo-
cratic people, and their nominees
must be popular men, not bosses.
