Indications. also. that some of the funds
which were being pla Fed IN the grangers
were derived from sales. Some n TIE
more prominent industrial specia'ties
have shown such recent large advances IN
price as to yield a handsome pront on
the sale. This shifting OF speculation is
an episode which invariably Occurs IN
the course of a long continued advance in
prices. The preliminary movement In the
highly speculative industrials is generally
quite apart from any general condition
of business and industry. The late awak-
ening of the more substantial railroad
stocks is looked upon as indicating a
more vital stage of speculation and in
vestment. There was a broad and confident
demand to-day through the whole of the
railroad list, much of which must have
come from the outside public. In many
stocks this growing demand was met by
a steady stream of offerings. The SHIFT
ing of speculative stocks involving proht-
taking in these industrials encouraged
bear attacks, but the whole railway list
held remarkably firm. showing a strong
tone at or near the top.

Democratic County Committee Disclaims
Hostility to Fusion.

ST.
Great Falls, Aug. 4.-The democratic
county committee has decided to hold
but one convention this fall to elect
to the state convention and to
nominate the county ticket. That there
might be no doubt as to the exact pur-
pose of the decision, the committee
adopted the following resolutions intro
duced by Z. H. Cooney:
Resolved. That while this committee
feels that it has no authority to enter
into fusion negotiations. it desires TO
expressly disclaim any purpose of hos
tility to fusion. 1t feels that that sub
iect can best be decided at the regular
nominating convention in September,
and that any prior arrangement or
agreement would only tend to excite
hostility to fusion, and inspire dissatis-
faction and efforts to overthrow such
arrangement.
las a further sufficient cause for re-
fusal to call an intermediate conven
ton, IL may be stated that at the full
committee meeting formerly held IL was.

cided to hold a single convention"
