Senator Wolcott will probably go TO

carrying out the international bimetallic
plank in the platform. Disquieting reports
had been put ahoat that no efforts would
be made by the administration The sill
vcr sentiment, these gentlemen said. was
still strong, and if the party pledges were
not carried out in good faith it would be
useless to attempt any future campaigns.
Major Mckinley made them happy it Is

New York, July 17.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
Nearly all general merchandise mar
kets continue dull mad the volume of bus
mess is smaller than anticipated. Little
or no disposition is shown to engage in
new enterprises, both city and country
merchants continuing to purchase with
more than usual conservatism in view of
the unsettled financial outlook and the
low range of prices. Total Number of
business failures in the United States
this week shows 255, compared with
219 last week. When contrasted with
the corresponding week in 1895 the in
crease during the past six business days
is A., and with the second week of July,
1884, the current weeks increase is 49,
During the corresponding week of %,
however. in the midst of the panic, there
was more than twice as many failures
this week. Among more favorable fea-
lures are encouraging reports concerning
trade at nine business centers, together
with an improvement in quotations i'll

firm or unchanged prices of wool, SUI

Baltimore reports various jobbing lines

Chicago and st. Louis agree that sales

rections, will not equal the record for
1895. Rains have improved crop pros
poets in Washington. The week has
been marked at San Francisco by the
departure of trainload of fruit for
London, cargo of wheat for Australia
and two ships loaded with lumber for
Europe.
Crop prospects in Texas have i'm
proved, particularly with reference to
cotton, and country merchants are re-
ported encouraged. Exports of wheat,

United States and from Montreal

CARVED A WATERNlILYUN.
Mrs. Bryan Entertains Press Represent
tatives With Monster Melon.

Lincoln, Neb., July 21.-The press
representatives in Lincoln were most
agreeably entertained this morning by
Mrs. Bryan in the discussion of a
47-pound watermelon from Georgia.. a
present from w. n. Mitchell, freight
agent of the Baltimore and Ohio road
at Atlanta, Ga, the counterpart of one
sent to Maj. Mckinley.
Mr.. Mitchell issued circular to the
growers of Georgia and selected the
largest two melons that could be found.
The one that came this way was shipped
in great willow wash basket, harnessed
with silver, and nestled in couch of
fine shavings flecked with threads of
silver tinsel. Upon the top of the bas-
ket were greetings from the various
states through which the melon had
passed, pledging them for Bryan and
16 to 1.
At 6 o'clock this evening Mr.. Bryan
leaves on special train over the Bur
lington for Omaha, where formal dem
onstration has been planned in recogni-
ton of his nomination. Tomorrow he
will visit Council Bluffs, where similar
honor awaits him. He will return to
Lincoln at 4 p. m. tomorrow.
Last night Mr.. Bryan met with A. d.
Martin Lodge, Knights of Pythias, of
which he is a member. and received the
brethren from the Pythian lodges of the
city. Mr.. Bryan delivered brief adj
dress, but did not touch on politics. The
members of the order turned out gener-
ally and extended fraternal congratula-
tons.

vention. has ut last broken his silence

New York. July li.-BradStrectS re-
view of the New York stock market will
say:
All public interest in the stock market
has disappeared, and professional oper-
ators and other holders of stock after the
many disappointment and prolonged
waiting to which they have been subject
ed, have been naturally inclined to throw
over their securities. Bear professional
interests in the market have taken ad-
vantage of this opportunity and conduct
ed an aggressive campaign. On Thurs
day, indeed, some purchases, particularly
of fractional lots at the extreme decline,
might be attributed TO the investing ele-
ment, but this tendency was not sufficient
ly marked to have any important effect.
London which was inactive and appa-
rently suspicious of our market during
the early part of the week, came in as
large buyer on Thursday, and its pur-
chases, together with the buying by the
rather exaggerated short interest turned
the market on the day and resulted in
substantial rally. On Friday the market
was inactive and generally steady.
During the entire week the professional

DUN & CO.'S REVIEW.

New York, July 1I.-Dun Il Co.'S re-
view will say:
Disappointment over the action of the
Chicago convention has had some in
fluence in the markets the past week,
but far more important factor has
been the feeling of the financial ques-
ton, which is still uncertain. The acute
attack of distress coming at time when
business is for other reasons depressed
has made the week unusually gloomy
in speculative circles. The wheat mar
ket has been remarkably well supported,
despite a very favorable government re-
port, and prices are a shade higher than
n week ago. Cotton has fallen off about
lie in options and 1-4c in spot prices,
holders of large quantities in expectation
of cotton famine in July having
changed their minds. The closing of
about three-quarters of the southern
mills and half the northern in producing
capacity pending the new crop will help
to prevent q disastrous decline IN prices
of goods, but the yield is likely to be
more than 100000 bales.
The sales of wool at three chief mar
kcts were for the week only 2,155, 100
pounds. There is no change in prices
and western holders are still asking high
er prices than obtainable.
Failures for the United States have
been for the week, 30, against 256 last
year. and 80 in Canada, against 80 last
year.

Retchford of the Ohio Mine Workers,
who was in town today on mining bus
mess. In reply to reporter as to
whether the coal miners would support
