1.-The Republicans want nothing better with
which to sweep the country" the trouble his
State is giving him to-day must lead him to
suspect there is a mistake somewhere.
II a Senator from Wisconsin gleefully said he
was glad to see US 'show our hand he can not
fail to be convinced, when he soon gives place
to q real good, sound Democrat, that there was,
after all, more in the hand than he cared to see.
If the present Speaker OF the House sarcas-
tically said: 1T only shows what fools all the
other Presidents have BEEN" he may well be
excused since he has lately so thoroughly
learned that in the sight of the people infalh
bllity is not an attribute always to be found in
the Speakers chair
II the Representative from Ohio whose name
is associated with bill which has given his
party considerable trouble of late said elf the
Democratic party had hired Burchard to write
a stump speech it could not have suited MS

to his approaching retirement from public life
have suggested modification Of his Judgment.
As our campaign has proceeded other unusual
symptoms have been apparent among those
prominent in directing the opposition. Some
Of them have become insubordinate and dis

to party orders. Some have left the ship. One

unwieldy party hulk of Bourbon Republicanism
Is stin afioat, but damaged and badly leaking.
On board, some are still working at the pumps
against the awful odds Of opening seams;
many, mutinous and discontinued, short of pro-

the bone and sinew Of this Nation With their
own calloused hands they have produced the

They have q right to demand that in the

Electric Move Up-A Better Feeling.
The attraction in stock circles yesterday
was the auction sale on the floor of the Ex-
change John d. Bailey. The sale was by
order of the Boatman's Insurance Company,
and the list though small was made up OF as
valuable securities as are on the market.
The first sale was shares of NJ. and NJ.
National Bank at $61, followed by so more at
$50 25. This was about the board price.
Then came 109 shares Exchange National
Bank at $s7 25. This was big jump, the
board quotation being about $50. Citizens
National Bank, 143 shares, went at 90, and IL
shares of Peoples Savings Bank at $l50-both
slightly better than last sales on Change.
Safe Deposit Company was withdrawn on
bid of $6l. Monongahela Water Company, 80
shares, sold at %, half a point higher than
the board quotation an hour or two earlier.
and 120 shares at $2S 80. The attendance was
small and made up almost entirely of buy
ers.
Nothing transpired on call demanding ex-
tended notice. There was better inquiry for
stocks. but the tone was bearish, and in this
respect in full accord with the trend OF
speculation elsewhere. Philadelphia Gas
submitted to a further fractional concession,
but this was offset by the steadiness of hold
ton each. Switch, Airbrake and Under
ground Cable were steady. Sales were:

BACK IN THE OLD RUT.
THE STOCK MARKET FULLY AS DULL
AS IT WAS BEFORE.

Prices More Easily Depressed Than For
merly-A Firmer Exchange Market
With Predictions of Further Exports of
Gold-Silver Certificates Develop New
Strength.
NEW YORK, July 21.-The stock market to-
day lacked the moving causes which yester-
day made things interesting, and conse-
quently was less animated, with smaller
fluctuations and less significance to the
trading. The situation remains the same
and while larger operators distrust the as
pect of affairs on the other side of the
ocean the market Is left among the trading
element, weak and favorable to the bear
side, because there is less resistance from
any organized opposition, and in the limited
business done prices are more easily de-
pressed. The ventures, however, are con-
fined strictly to O correSpondingly small
scale, and short sales are covered as quickly
as possible.
The exchange market was f1rmer and as
no material amount of commercial bills has
appeared in the market, further exports are
predicted in some quarters. Louisville and
Nashville sold ex-dividend and ex-right to-
day, and was one of the strongest stocks on
the list, but Burlington and st. Paul were
still the only active stocks and all the lead
ing shares, including Lake Shore, Atohison
and Union Pacific exhibited considerable
strength. Sales by London and the bears
caused a weak opening, but the pressure was
covery was started in the first hour, which
continued almost without interruption until
the last hour, when the usual reaction oc-
CURED on the realization of profits on the
limited advances of the day.
The dealings throughout the day were
devoid of any feature of interest, but late in
the day silver certificates developed marked
strength. rising above 1000. Tennessee
coal, after a rise of per cent, lost all the
Improvement. On the other hand sugar be-
came very weak and dropped over l per
cent, closing at the lowest figure. The close
was barely steady at irregular and insignifi-
cant changes from the opening figures,
though most stocks showed advances. Sugar
shows net loss of 1a and silver of l per
cent, while the rest Of the market is practi-
cally unchanged.
Railroad bonds were again very dull to-
day, the animation in the Atchison incomes
having entirely disappeared, and the trad
ing, more than usual of late, was barren of
feature. There was some weakness in Read
ing lists and Richmond and West Point 5s.
The other issues showed only important
fluctuations, and the market remained with
out decided tendency in either direction
throughout the day. The business done
reached only $685.

stocks on the New York Stock Exchange yesterday.

THE FINANCIAL PULSE.
A-Better Call for Loans and Interest Rates
Rather Sitter.

A-Better Call for Loans and Interest Rates
Rather Sitter.
The improvement in the call for money
from the mercantile and manufacturing
classes, previously noted was the feature at
the city banks yesterday. As financ1ers
predicted some time ago, there is strong
probability that the upturn will absorb all
the idle cash, or, at least, reduce the surplus
to a moderate working basis; and in antici-
patton of this, interest rates are stiffening.
The bulk of business here is at 6, with 515@7
as the extremes, but the inside figure is ex-
ceptional. Exchanges were s., ,955 sl5 25 and
balances, S5o6 495 6S.
Financially, Chicago is the West, and the
tcne of the market there reflects the senti-
ment and feeling of the trans Mississippi
region The tribune of that city SAYS: "The
money market continues reasonably easy,
and but for the fact that Withdrawals for
country use are expected before long on
quite large scale, rates would doubtless be
materially lower than those now quoted by
the banks The dullness of speculation has
reduced the demand for call loans to q mini
mum, but the requirements for legitimate
purposes are quite as large in Chicago as for
the corresponding period last year. The
bank clearings are now showing a moderate
ment is the fact that none of it is due to
speculative activity"
