New York. Sept 1.-THE strict observance
had an evident effect on the dry goods mar
ket both at first hands and in iobbing cir
cles, store trade ruling duh throughout
Business coming to hand through the mails
has also been on a comparatively moderate
scale, and generally quiet market has
thus to be reported. The difference between
this week and last in cotton goods is con-
fined to the difference in volume of sales.
There is little difference intone. II is true
that advances have been few this week,
and in the pause, it is really solidifying
some of the advances previously quoted, but
not then actually realized. The chief fea-
ture today has been in the market for print
ed calicoes, the American indigo blue and
shifting prints being advanced &c per yard.
The WOODEN goods departments are without
material change. Here and there a better
undertone is spoken Of but 1t hardly finds
expression in an Improvement in actual
business.

A Dark Horse Likely To Be Sprung On
the Convention.

A Dark Horse Likely To Be Sprung On
the Convention.
New York. July 1.-THE Herald says
Bland Of Missouri is still the leading
candidate for the Pre- sldency Teller's
name was scarcely mentioned today,
cept in connection with the declaration
by the Republican members of the sena-
torial conspiracy, that the attitude of
the gold men in not openly declaring
that they would bolt 16 to platform
had made the nomination OF the Colorn-
do man impossible. Other candidates
for the Presidency are turning on Bland
and rending him. The tiokle Altgeld
is suspected of coquetting with two or
three of the other delegates and secretly
planning to spring dark horse on the
convention. Byran of Nebraska is tn
dark horse most frequently mentioned.
Internationally the silver syndicate
would avoid a prolonged fight over the
nomination by abrogating the two-thirds
rule if they dared, but the ability of Hill
and Whitney to hold at least three hun
dred anti-silver votes together, stands
in the way. The gold men, with three
bundled votes to start with, might east
" in contest secure 165 more votes, and
thus make some such man as Campbell
of Ohio or Stevenson of Illinois the can
didate.

WELL COACHED.
silver Men Have Been Coached In All Par.
Iiamentary Tactics.


Chicago, July Prior to going into
the convention the silver men, under the
guidance of experienced parliamenuarians
like Senator Harris, Senator Joneo of Ar
kansas and others, presented a set of par
liamentary nations to meet every
possible phase of The eXpeoted fight with
the sound money man over the organiza-
ton and control of the convention. Each
of those motions was assigned to a
designated leader to present at the proper
time, and word was passed around
among all the silver cohorts that resolu-
tiops offered by these persons expressed
the views of the party and were expected
to receive the solid support of the silver
men.
1t was openly stated in the conference
that this course had been rendered neces-
sary by the course Of the Chicago news
papers, which, in spite of the pledge
given on their behalf to the National
committee when Chicago was selected as
meeting place, that the press OF the
city would report the proceedings of the
convention with fairness, han not failed
to distort and misrepresent with all kinds
of untruthfulness, the plans and pur-
poses of The silver men. Delegates were
therefore cautioned not to be mis-, ed by
Chicago newspapers statements, but to
follow the lines marked out by their own
steering committees.

Presidency.

"DAVID B. HILL"
New York Senator Gold Mems Choice for
Presidency.
Chicago, Ill, July 7:-"Dayid B. Hill, -
IS the answer which Don III. Dickinson
gave when asked the choice of the gold
men for the Presidency this morning. In
contrast with the attitude of violent OPP
position to Hill four years ago, which
characterized all the Presidents friends,
and their freely expr essetP opinions of
Hill in the latter's campaign for the gov
ernorship of New York in 1894, this
shows the straits to which the sound
money men are pushed in the present
Populist harum-scarum of convention.
Mr.. Dickinson, by his attack upon the
Reform Club OF New York, declaring
that its gold-standard literature has been
doing the sound money cause in the
West more harm than oil else beside in
the same line is evidently at work to
produce new line of Cleavage, to estab-
lish the middle West. BY 'sound
money! brigade, with Hill as leader,
and opposition to gold recommendation
clearly expressed, he hopes eventually to
rally the convention and swing it away
from the extreme free silver programme.
His energies are now all turned to secu-
ring tie Michigan gold delegation their
seats, and to this end he has made a Wig
orous campaign, and is now claiming
that one fourth of the silver men, as
well as all the gold men, will back him.
