CIews on Stocks.

NEW YORK, March 12.-The stock market
has been in an unsettled and feverish con-
dition during the week, chiefly owing to de-
velopmeuts in st. Paul and New England
There are conditions strongly favorIng an
advance in values, and these have been re-
inforced- through the concentration of
stocks by heavy capitalists who are actively
enlisted on the bull side. At the same time
the bull campaign will have to be conducted
against difficulties which did not exist 4 few
weeks or months ago. 1t must not be over
looked that business results are falling
rather short of expectations; that the South
has received a severe shock from cheap cot
ton; that the iron trade is in poor shape and
lower prices are threatened; that wheat is
much lower than year ago in spite of large
foreign demand, and that the bad state Of
trade in Europe must, in 4 measure, act
detrimeutally here. These are drawbacks
from which we cannot escape: and they
partly explain the disappointment often
seen Just now in mercantile circles. If 10
these setbacks we add the disturbance of
confidence by the present silver agitation,
Il is easy to see that the onward march Of
the bulls, however promising it may seem,
is likely 10 encounter opposition of more or
less effectiveness. Their chief strength has
thus far bseE 70 the grargerS, which

forty-odd persons have united with the

church. Athens has long been noted for

The Friends of the Ey-President Decide
to Hold a Convention MAY 81

The anti-Hill element gathered at
Union hall at 2:30 this afternoon. Hon.
Chas. S. Fairchild, as chairman of the
committee of fifty, submitted a state
nent as 20 what had been done and said
to those assembled that they must now
enter upon the work of adopting such
measures to secure the proper representa-
ton of the democracy Of the state at
Chicago as might be deemed advisable.
He hoped the result would be a denioc-
racy of principle, owned By no man, and
party of honor, truth and freedom.
Chairman F d Locke said there are times
in the history of parties, as in the history
Of states, when it becomes necessary for
good citizens to assert and maintain their
rights. Such an occasion now confronts
the democratic party of the state of New
York
E. EIlery Anderson made speech after
which an address to the democrats OF the
state was adoped.
II recites the incidents leading up to the
protest, dweils on the gravity of the issues
Of the pending campaign and says the
state committee has become the instru-
ment of a faction, instead Of being the
whole p trtT. /. is enlisted in the cause
Of favored candidate who shrinks from
submitting his case to the test of free
and full vote Of the democracy. 1t has
used its powers for the avow wed purpose of
serving his personal am 5ition, instead of
affording all democratic electors an equal
and fair opportunity to express their
preferences both as to issues and candi-
dates. The welfare of the party both in
state and nation demands that ali dem
ocratic electors be equally heard
and represented; therefore the democratic
electors Of EACH assembly district in the
state are requested to chose three delegates
and three alternates to form a state CON
ventlon to be held the 3lst of Nav at
Syracuse for the purpose of chosing dele
gates and alternates to represent
the democratic party of the state at the
