All Quiet on the Potomac.

WASHINGTON, Aug. ll.-Politi
affairs are quiet at the several
headquarters. The weather seems
to affect even the politicians. Al
the Republican headquarters let
ters from Kansas, Iowa, and Mis-.
souri, all spoke Of the political out
look, and said that all that was
needed this time wac great guam
titles of financial literature.
The Democratic congressional
campaign committee issued q
document today on "The Business
Mems Campaign" 1t says the Re-
publicans propose such cam.
paign and the Democracy accepts
the issue. The document first
quotes Mr.. Bryan's statement in
which he says the farmer or hired
man is as much business man as
the banker or the merchant, then
it gives list of persons employed
in IA gainful pursuits, including
agriculture, mining, manufactur.
ing, transportation, the purpose
being to show the comparatively
small percentage comprised under
the head of bankers, brokers and
wholesalers. The document COM
ments on these figures winding up
with the assertion that from the
Republican standpoint, only the
few bankers, wholesalers and cor
poration officers are business men,
while from the Democratic stand
point the millions of farmers, pro-
ducers and laborers of all class are
as much business men as the few
who live, thrive and grow rich by
trading in the products Of labor.
Senator Jones chairman of the ma
tional Democratic committee and
Senator Faulkner chairman Of the
congressional committee and law
renee Gardiner, secretary of the
latter committee, have gone to New
York to attend the meeting of the
national committee, today and to
meet Mr.. Bryan on his arrival to-
morrow night.

The Ohancellor's Decision.

DOVER, Del, Aug. ll.-Chancel-
lor Nicholson has delivered his de-
cision on the habeas corpus pro-
ceedings brought by the single tax
advocates for their release from
Jail. The chancellor decided in
the case of w. s. McKelvan, the
town alderman. Peter M. Cooper
erred in placing the fine and costs
on the margin of the docket in
stead OF in the body thereof, and
that his committal was therefore
defective, and he was discharged.
Later q motion for writ was de-
MED and the prisoners were re-
leased.

Chicago Dec. 15.-The wheat market re- considered it's action of yesterday, prices declining at most as much as they then ad- vanced.

 A little iirmncss was noted in the corn market at the opening, but 1t was of short duration. The later weakness of wheat exercised d depressing influence and prices eased away. May corn opened at zblsc, declined to and closed at 25ic-lsG 7sc under yesterday. Cash corn was easy and Ac lower
 The tendency to decline was pronounced in oats. In addition to the weakness incl dent to wheat and corn there were heavy receipts, 5e4 cars, and no output from store to lend emphasis to the absence of strength. May oats closed ss4l2c per bush- el lower. Cash oats were steady for good grades with inferior kinds AQ42c per bushel lower.

 Another week of generally dui business has to be recorded in the dry goods trade. The attendance Of buyers has been moder- ate from day to day and their actions have been marked by q. pronounced conservatism in most directions. Statesmen on the road have farad somewhat better than the sellers here but still in the aggregate the results have hardly come 0p Co an average. The weakest division of the market during the week has been the stable cotton department This, in addition 70 the slow demand has had to contend against the influence of pro- nouuced 4weak1less in raw cotton. which, whilst it causes buyers to hold off, has q tendency to induce freer offerings by sell ing.

Cotton Letter.

New York. Dec. 15.-(special.) )--Cotton had decided recovery today, the receipts were enormous, but Liverpool had sharply called halt in the decline and New Orleans was a large buyer. March. which chased at 6.95 last evening, opened today at 6.9a and that was the lowest of the day. Until the last hour prices showed much nervousness and flucutated constantly, but trustworthy aaviees from New Orleans of an improved spot demand gave more confidence to buy CTS and March advanced to 71O, closing at 7.09d71G with the tone steady. We think that the bulk of the weak. long cotton as been shaken out and at tonight's prices we would rather buy than sell But until the large receipts cease we hardly expect any very important recovery and we advise talk ing moderate profits whenever they can b had. We fear that in the immediate flu ture an improving market may have many serious setbacks RIORDAN & co.
