BRADsTREEr ON TRADE.

NEW YORK, n. y, Nov. S.-Bradstreefs to-
morrow will say: The interruption to general
trade throughout the country incident to election
has been emphasized by unusually mild weather,
which checks demands for clothing, heavyweight
textiles and other seasonable goods.
The total exports of wheat from both coasts OF
the United States this week (hour included as
wheat) amount to 2.566,o00 bushels, against
2,743,000 bushels last week and as compared with
1859, 900 bushels in the week year ago 2,S13,-
600 bushels in the week two years ago, 3,SS5,OOO
bushels in the first week of November, 1892, and
with 100000 bushels in the corresponding week
OF 1891.
From the Pacific Coast Portland reports general
trade comparatively quiet, with dried fruit shlp-
ments checked by low prices. At San Francisco
quotations in almost all lines lower. with the
exception of those for grapes. Wheat receipts are
increasing al Tacoma. Al Seattle heavy ship
ments Of merchandise have been made TO Alaska

Hon. Fleming G. duBignon is now an
open and avowed candidate for United
States senator, TO succeed Senator
Gordon. His speech in the state
capitol last night delivered on the invi-
tation of the legislature, is practically an
announcement of that fact. That he will
make a strong race there isn't a shadow
of a doubt. and that it will be a success
ful one there are many reasons for be
heving. He is very popular in. all parts
Of the state, and he has exceptional abil-
ity as an orator He has the faculty OF
making friends and holding them. In the
campaign that is now fairly begun he
viii have willing and earnest workers in
every county.
Mr.. duBignon is in harmony with his
party on all the leading political issues.
He has made" study for years of the
important public questions that have been
before the country, and he is not only
familiar with them, but has clearly de-
fined opinions in respect to them. In the
campaign for the senatorship. therefore,
heds prepared to talk to the people in
way that will not only appeal to their
reason, but also disclose his fitness for
the high position he seeks.
His speech contains a clear cut and I'M
answerable argument for sound money. He
sees the fallacies and mistakes of the
saverites, and points them out. Evidently
he has never been touched by the silver
craze. In that respect he has the advan-
tage of Hon. Hoke Smith, whose CONVEX
sion to sound money dates from 1892, and
he thereby escapes the suspicion Of ever
having favored free silver coinage be-
cause it was popular, and he has an adj
vantage Of Hon. Charles +. Crisp, because
he is in harmony with the national demo-
cratic party on the silver issue. MIR. Crisp,
in order to bolster up his free silver coin
age views, showed the standing Of demo-
Gratis in congress for number of years
on the silver question. Democratic con-
gressmen, however, do not make plat
forms for the democratic party, and, as
Mr.. duBignon points out, the utterances
of the democratic party in national con-
ventions have always been for sound
money
Mr.. duBignon's speech was an excellent
one-a strong one-and it will help him
greatly in his campaign. The views ex-
pressed in it on the silver question are
those that arc entertained by the great
majority of the people of the country,
and we believe. by majority of the peo-
pie of this state. If there is a doubt as
to how the people of this state now stand
on that question, that doubt will be dis
PEELED by the time the next legislature is
chosen. The majority will be for sound
money.
Mr.. duBignon made a fine impression
last night and, that too, Notwithstanding
the fact that he has been i'll for weeks,
and rose from a sick bed to make his
address
