WATTERsON ON POLITICS.
VIII Not Offer an Opinion Just Now
on Bryan's Future.

Chicago, Jan. 15.-Henry Watterson
day on his way to Iowa, where he has
several lecture engagements. When
asked his opinion regarding the report
from New York to the effect that May
or Harrison is being grOomed for the
vice presidency by Croker and Tam
many for 1900 and that a carefully pre-
pared movement is on foot looking to
the knitting of Bryan and the 16 to is
sue a that time, he said:
I have no opinion to offer, because
the time is so remote, and so many
things are likely to happen in the
meantime materially changing the
condition of things, that 1 do not think
one is justified in venturing an opinion
in the matter.
"A new congress is to be elected in
the interval, and so many new ques-
tions are forcing themselves to the
front, the general tendency of which is
to break up old party alignments and
create new ones. that it seems like
guess work to attempt to forecast what
is likely to happen two years hence
It may be that almost entirely new
time and the burning questions of the
present hour be relegated to Obscurity.
A wrong Interpretation seems to have
been placed upon what 1 wrote in the
Courier-Journal regarding Mayor Har-
risOn.
Tt seems to have been construed in
to a presidential boom for him, when it
really had no political significance. 1t
was intended as a pleasant recognition
of his capacity and generally excellent
qualities"

New York Letter.

New York, Jan. 15.-The general appear
ance of the market this week has been
one of great activity and strength. but a
closer inspection will indicate that the
activity has been more distributed than
the strength. Industrial stocks are. on
the whole lower and many important
railroad stocks. including the grangers,
are hardly so well off they were week
ago. The markets appearance of strength
has been due to the large buying on a r1s-
ing market of the Northern Pacific stocks,
Union Pacific and the Vanderbilts-
The strength of Union Pacific has been
communicated to the stocks of the disin-
tegrated portions of the old system, now
operated by separate reOrganized COM
panies. The announcement that Union
Pacific had brought a. controlling interest
in Oregon Short Line explained this move
ment. Much was made also of the pros
poets of a big Klondike business over
these lines and the Northern Pacific.
The Ohio soft coal roads have been
prominent and strong. There has been
unprecedented activity and record prices
in the bond division and large investment
demand for gilt-edged stocks and an in
creased outside interest in the stock mar
ket On the other hand there has been
intermittent realizing on very heavy
scale by large professional opera tors.
which has been drag on the market.
