Special Dispatch to The Evening star.
NEW YORK, October 1.-The liberal sales
of long stock which characterized the trad
ing in yesterdays market attracted some
selling by the room element this morning
The failure to make more than a fractional
impression on the short side of the market
resulted in an early abandonment of short
selling. Traders bought back the stock sold
during the morning. and prices improved
in all departments in consequence
The strong undertone which has prevail
ed for several weeks continues operators
usually engaged in depressing values now
being noted among the most conspicuous
buyers. Strong interests are in the market
ana no decline can proceed far without
enc3untering determined opposition. Com
mission houses were disposed to predict a
reaction in consequence of yesterdays real
izing. but Londons favorable attitude has
inspired renewed confidence.
Concessions continue to attract buyers,
and optimism is strongly marked in all ac-
tive financial circles.
The market for foreign exchange is said
TO be shade firmer and the repayment OF
sterling loans is credited with increasing
the demand.
The movement of gold from Australia

pc rary cessation in European imports The
tendency or the money market continues to
be encouraging to the borrower. although
slight stiffening il rates would revive the
European import movement
The continuation OF the 3 per cent dis
count rate by the Bank OF England was
generally expected, and consequently had
no significant effect values.

increase in the Investment demand, and

lative situation is not lacking in harmony
with the dominant sentiment.

1.-Seven hundred delegates were in at
tendance when Chairman Hodges called the
republican state convention to order. The
convention was harmonious. and the ticket
was nominated throughout by an unani-
nous vote The report of the committee
on resolutions. which was unanimously
adopted, on national issues says:
Resolved. That our people, Irrespective
of party affiliations. favor the free coinage
cf silver and believe that our mints could
be safely opened to free coinage under an
administration in which the people of the
country had confidence. We regret that
the national convention at st. Louis did not
view this question as We view it. We ac-
cept, however, the assurance of the party
that its own efforts will be devoted to the
securing OF an international agreement for
the unlimited coinage of silver as a sacred
pledge. We believe that the pledge will be
fulfilled, and we are firmly of the faith that
the reconciliation of silver, essential to
the welfare of this and all other civilized
countries. will re accomplished through the
EFFORTS and under the direction of the re-
publican party of this country. and through
10 other. Except upon the silver question
We heartily and cordially indorse the plat
form OF the party at st. Louis, and de-
clare our undiminiShed and UnWaVering be-
lief in the great doctrines of the protec ton
of American labor and American industries
Also III reciprocity as enunciated in the ma
tional platform" Continuing, the resolu-
ton reads:
We favor free silver, but We value free
government more and while the success of
the party upon the Chicago platform might
bring silver monometallism, it would af-
ford no hope OF bimetallsm in this coun-
try"
