STONE SAYS IT'S BRYAN.
The Great Silver Leader Is the Only
Logical Candidate of the Democra-

From the st. Louis Chronicle.

From the st. Louis Chronicle.
Ex-Gov. William J. Stone is of the
opinion that the Democrats of New
York State will indorse the platform
of the Chicago convention and will
also declare id favor of territorial ex-
p~ansion.
"Unless they do So" said he, 'the
Democracy of New York will lose rep
resentation in the next National con-
vention. The plank on expansion Is
not so important "a is that Of silver,
speaking politically.
"Whom do 1 think will be the nomi-
nee for PRESIDENT
"The only logical candidate lie Bryan.
He is the leader of Democrats, and I
believe that he will be nominated. I
am doing everything 1 can to bring
about his nomination"
SIS it true that you are a candidate
for the nomination."
81 have never been q candidate, but
my party cannot say that I ever re-
fused to assist it In every way 1 could.
If there ia a contest for the nomina-
ton l would not object to the use Of
my name. I am not aspiring to the
and I do not think that
my name will be mentioned in the
convention.
"About the platform I will say that
1 will probably write or design several
of the planks. We must declare for
silver at the ratio of 16 to /. That will
be the principal cry. Then territorial
must be considered. 1t is
. national subject and the people at
large are in favor Of it."

is not permanent, but simply means
that the Havana authorities as yet have

NEW YORK, June 1S.-R. G.. Dun e.
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade, issued
today, says in part: 1.-THE passing of
the war revenue bill, the offering of
bonds and the collapse of Letter and
cash wheat have made the week some
what exciting. In spite of some feat
ures, which cannot be justified, the tax
bill was approved as probably the best
that could be obtained from congress
this year, ..and gave assurance of needed
revenue for the emergency. It's bond
provision has already called out offers
for more than three times the amount
desired, and it probably will prove the
most successful loan ever invited by the
United States. A great victory in the
field could hardly be more important,
especially in it's influence on foreign
opinion.
mot less significant was the excess of
exports over imports in May by $780,
980,359, making merchandise balance
in favor of the United States. $571 $780,
037 in II months of the fiscal year,
while net imports of gold were $102,-
026,989, though i'll no previous fiscal
year have the net imports of gold ex-
ceeded $97, 466, 1877 in 1882.
mot less important is the official
showing that this nation has supplied
to others 10,058, 208 bushels of wheat
and 204, 100000 bushels of corn in liz
months without checking receipts from
farms, and sees wheat fall 20 cents in
week because a crop is promised greater
than the last by 100,000,000 bushels
This decline would have come sooner
had not Mr.. Letter looked for larger
gains but the benefit to this country by
the average advance of nearly 25 cents
for the crop year on wheat exported has
been about $48.000,0 900 and to producers
much greater. In corn, on the other
hand, the cash price has declined only
1 cent, and the demand continues ex-
traordinary
"There is also stronger market for
wool abroad, which with western ex-
element makes quotations of 100

scarcely any buying by manufacturers
who are in doubt about the coming sea-
son and have few new orders, except in
army lines.

While Chicago reports heavy season con-
tracts still coming from wagon car and
other manufacturers. Heavy sheets are
better at the east, but thin are not bet
ter anywhere. Structural works are
full for the summer, and have had two
remarkably good weeks at Chicago with
building and bridge orders.
"Plate mills are well employed, and
at Chicago the demand for pipe is bet
ter, especially from the Pacific coast.
Shipments from there of rails in May
included some to Sweden, Belgium,
South Africa, Siberia and >nree other
countries, while orders from Calcutta
have just been taken.
Failures for the week have been 233
