Condition of Trade as Viewed by Brad
street's-Some Failure Statistics


New York, Oct. 3.-Bradstreet's says:
Cooler weather and continued bur-
chases by interior merchants, notably
west and south. continued the slight
Improvement in trade recorded in pre-
ceding weeks. Merchants at primary
cotton markets and at large centers in
the spring wheat region report a better
movement OF .stapleS due to unusually
heavy receipts uf those crops. Through
out the center west, including such
points as Baltimore, Cincinnati, Chica-
go and st. Louis, the volume of trade
falls behind that of q year ago in
some instances, but is equal to il in
others. At eastern centers the i'm
provement is seen in greater ease in
the money markets and more DISPOSE
ton to discount commercial paper al
though at unchanged rates. Wholesale
merchants report d better feeling very
generally. but few anticipate any ma
terial increase in the volume of busi-
ness this month.

President Black called the meeting
to rrder. About $500 delegates
were present and the great hall was
we'll filled with visitors. The
session opened with prayer,
after which President Black de-
livered the quadrennial address. lie
declared the cause which the demo-
cratic party was supporting was
that of no class. no sac
ton. but the people as q
whole. Then he entered into a dis
cussion OF the money question. and
concluded by denouncing Mark
Hanna and the money power. He
was frequently applauded. Whom
he finished he introduced Vice Presi-
dent Stevenson as presiding officer.
stevenson Speaks for Democracy.
The vice president then TOOK up
an eloquent plea for the cause of true
democracy and free silver. He said
that believing, as he does. that gold
and silver find equal recognition in
the constitution of the United States:
that by their joint use in effe,ting ex-
changes and performing the other
functions Of money. We have pros
pered in the past. and that the evil
days now befalling us are in no small
measure the result of the demoniti-
zation Of silver. II have no hesita-
tion in maintaining my party al
legiance and voting for Bryan aud
Sewall," continued Mr.. Stevenson.
81 deeply regret that many of those
with whom l have been associated in
former contests, now oppose the
election of the candidates nomi
mated in accordance with the
time-honored methods and usages of
the democratic party. Without ques-
tioning their sincerity. what is
there in the attitude Of the demo.
cratic party to justify its abau.
donment of those who have shared
in its councils. and who have been
recipients Of its rewards and its
hOnors."
Continuing. the vice president said
that the dollar unit of coinage Of
both metals must be Of equal intrin-
sic exchangeable value is part OF
the democratic creed. He said that
he was convinced that the democrats
were right in the present contest;
that their cause Was that OF
the people, whose interests are
bound up in the success Of
the democratic party. whose
candidate for the presidency. he con-
tinued, is the able and eloquent
statesman whose words have cheered
the respondent, given hope and in
spiration to his countrymen. and
whose Inauguration will be the earn
est OF better days to the republic.
