WASHINGTON, Aug g.-Secretary Car

and asked if he had any objection TO stat
ing his present view Of the financial sitna
ton. He replied that, while be did not
care To give any interview, he was willing
to state that he was exceedingly gratilesi
at the marked improvement noticeable all
through the country. He attributed II
chiefly to steadily increasing assurances
that the Sherman law will be repealed.
Comptroller of the Currency Eckles,
when questioned, replied As follows: III
is safe To say that the general public looks
upon the improvement Of banking cou-
ditions as the best indication Of returning
confidence on the part OF the people III the
financial institutions of the country, aud
therefore a bare statement of fact, so far

$50 of the leading Republicans in Salem,
Peabody, Beverly, Danvers, Marblehead
Middleton, Topsfield and Ipswich, as to
their choice for the party nominee for gov

Hart and six scattering, Bancroft, Brack-
EFT. Cogswell and Walcott being ineluie,i

The surprising feature Of the canvass is
the large number of thinking men who
honestly affirm that they have no prefer

the same throughout The district, very
nearly one-halt, it will be seen
Danvers is opposed to Pillsbury on ac-
count of his action in the Borden trial
Salem is for Pillsbnry five to one, and

of the canvass in Peabody is the strength

Failures Fewer and Indications That End
of Depression Is Near.
BOSTON, Aug. 27--The Boston News
Bureau Of Saturday says: The situation
is certainly more encouraging. Money is
in greater supply, and the banks are pay
ing out currency much more freely. Ii
these conditions continue, and indications
are that they will increase rather than
lessen, then interest rates will shortly ad
just themselves.
Sterling exchange is weaker. Foreign
houses report few offerings of forward ex-
change. This fact would tend to the sup
port of the prediction that gold imports
will continue rs the outward movement
of cotton will soon begin.
Failures are becoming fewer and manu-
featuring industries are beginning to re-
sumo. 1t certainly looks as il we were
nearing the end of adepression and dis
trust which has been largely senseless
when figured on legitimate conditions.
The security markets become harder to
pound, even with the limited power wit
messed. There are practically few stocks
offering, and the short interest outstand
ing, and which cannot be covered at mar
ket quotations, must be exceedingly large.
