che customary check to activity in trading
in staple articles Of merchandise, due to
the near approach of midsummer with the
accompanying stock taking in some lines;
in addition to this the only other indica-
ton not pointing to Improvement is the re-
action of prices of cotton, coal, wheat,
-four, corn, oats, pork and lard from pre-
vious active and high levels. In almost
all other directions reports on the business
situation and the outlook are exception
ally favorable. Exports Of wheat land
-four as wheat) from both coasts this week,
as telegraphed, amount to 2,8S7, SO7 bushels,
against 1,7l8,OO bushels last week. The
more active Pacific coast cities are almost
alone in presenting distinct features of
trade each week. San Francisco reports
that hot winds have affected the California
wheat crop, which now will not be likely
to exceed 81, 100000 bushels. Fall trade
prospects at Portland, Oregon, are bright.
There have been no special changes IN the
condition of trade at western and north
western cities, but the volume of business
and the general feeling at Milwaukee and
Duluth indicates improvement. In the
southern states business continues at about
midsummer proportions, with improve
ment in dry goods and groceries at Chatta-
noOga and Atlanta, q better feeling in
trade circles at Birmingham and only a
moderate expansion of business at Calves
ton.

last convention, an arraignment Of the
Democratic administration and policy and
a cautious reference to silver, an enlarged
use of which, the speaker said, everybody
advocated, but how to bring this about
was the question-one Of economics, not
politics. He impressed upon the conven-
ton. however, that it was not it's business
to select candidates or promulgate plat
forms, but to elect the former and pro-
mote the latter.
President Tracy was applauded all
through his speech and at its close. Then
the preliminary business Of the convention
was rapidly done. The secretary an
nounced that there were represented at
the convention forty-six States and terri

the rehabilitation Of silver 10 that the
chances for such conference in the near
future are very slim. There are few left
who believe that such a conference viii
be held this year, and many express the
opinion that it will be postponed indef-
nitely. The action Of the majority of the
German Federal Governments, which Is
reported to have been adverse to the b.
metallic movement, is the principal basis
Tor this opinion, but some profess to seej
PACK OF this action on the part of those
governments a still more significant. cir
cumstance.
Chancellor Hohenlohe ia known to hi
opposed to the silver movement, and the
most that he ever promised Count Mir
bach and others, who have been pressing
upon the German Government the pro-
priety of Germany taking the initiative
IN calling the conference, was that he
would consider the question in connection
with the different State governments Of
.he empire: and now that these appear to
nave spoken against silver it is intimated
tnat the chancellor probably had a shrewd
idea OF the probable result and adopted i
as political device to avoid assuming d.
rect responsibility on . question on which
nc could count upon the support Of only
. portion Of his cabinet, upon which the
country at large 10 not united. and upon
which also the emperor has made no

Senator Thurston, of Nebraska, said he
understood Warner Miller, Of New York,
was in the city, and he was sure the con-
vention would like to hear from the ex-
Senator. A committee was sent for Mr..
Miller. who made short address, in
which he asserted that the tariff was the
paramount issue.
