TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES.

The New York Daily Ne,OS this even
ing announces it will heartily support
Mr.. Bryant for President.
Members of the New York Stock
Exchange, both democrats and republi-
cans, gave an exhibition at the board
to-day of their devotion to the cause of
sound money by parading around the
room.
The general creditors of the Northern Pa
cifc Railroad Company seek the postpone
mcnt OF the sale ordered to take place July
25, and ask that the decree of foreclosure
and sale be set aside. Tho petition charges
that the reorganization agreement was
brought about By fraud and that the decree
of sale was secured in the same manner.
The Boston Globe (dem.) after speaking in
warm terms of the personal character and
natural abilities of the democratic nominee
for President, says it is not prepared to sup
port Bryan, as it does not approve of the
platform.

Hon. WNl. J. BRYAN.-The news of
the nomination of Hon. w. ]. Bryan
for President by the national demo-
cratic convention at Chicago yesterday
was received with general satisfaction
by the democrats of this city and with
much pleasure by Mr.. Bryan's friends
here, where he is quite well known.
There are some heretofore democrats,
however, who say they will not sup
port him. On the Fourth of July, 1894,
Mr. Bryan delivered an address at New
Alexandria and was on that occasion
introduced by Congressman Richards,
of Ohio, as q possible future President
of the United States. Mr.. Bryan's
family comes from Virginia. His faith
err was born in Culpeper county, and
died in Salem, Ill, in 1880. His moth
er, whose name was Maria Elizabeth
Jennings, was born in Marion county,
ILL.,, and died in Salem two weeks ago.

At this point the track is on quite an

remained in the opposite one. A rail-

NEW YORK, Dec. 9-Although the stock
market failed to show any important in
crease in the volume of business, the pro-
fessionals worked for the bull side and inn
parted a degree of spirit to the trading in
some instances. There were intervals of
pronounced dullness, however, owing to
the lack of outside interest, and business
was unevenly distributed. sugar figuring
for one-third of the total dealings. London
distributed continued selling orders and
drives were made against prizes, which, in
turn, were succeeded by spells of covering,
so that closing prices were slightly above
Yesterdays level. The street was infiu-
enced by various Washington dispatches
suggesting Uevelopmen OF Importance, but
as a rule leading interests were disposed to
actc with caution pending definite news.
An encouraging feature was noteworthy
inquiry for glt-edged stocks ano bonds for
Investment. Sugar developed consider
able anlimation about l o'clock on various
reports and large blocks of stock were
bought, causing an advance of 15s per cent
to 1l13s This Improvement was almost
entirely due to covering. Reallzations IN
tiuenced s\ne recessons in the best prices
