DRY GOODS.

New York, May 24-Weather condi-
tons are alleged to be the chief factor
in delay in dry goods. Sellers say that
many expected sales have been held
back by the rainy Gays Of this month.
It is pointed out that there lave baen
only two days in the present month
in which it has not rained. The heavy
curtailment in the production of print
cloths has proved a stimulating feature
although no sales at better than 1 15-16c
were reported The export trade is q 50
well sustained. but staple lines of dry
goods in all lines are quiet.

Governments-Firm
States-Dull
RailrOads-Strong.
Stocks-The stock market continued
more or less professional to-day and
there was palpable evidence of manipu-
lation. The success Of the campaign, for
the rise, assisted by one or two factors
of strength, invited an extending in
terest and induced a broadening ten
dency in the speculation. The advance
was primarily due to the rumors, sub
sequetly discredited, that the United
States fleet had won a victory over the
Spaniards in West Indian waters. The
final upward rush of prices was largely
due to covering if shorts who had be-
come alarmed at the easy advance OF
pl ices and the persistent resistance to
decline, especially after the contra
diction of the reports of the successful
naval battle. This covering of shorts
made final prices the best of the day.
Net gains were well over point in the
internal and granger groups of the rail-
way list and ranged UP to nearly six
points for Metropolitan street railway
in the specialties. The widely diffused
effect OF the rumors of naval victory
was shown by the advance in Ameri-
cans before the opening here, in Lon
don and on the continent and the CO.
incident decline in Spanish IS Weak
ness in some of the spacialties unsettled
the market after the opening here, but
the upward movement was in full force
before the end OF the hour on accsnnc
of London buying, especially of st.
Paul, and was only interrupted by
slight reactions during the remainder
of the day. The stocks of iron COM
! panies continued to show strength and
the southwestern railways as a group
showed some strength and activity.
Dealings in odd lots were still large
ly in evidence and were not a small fac
tor in the undertone CT strength of the
market. The money market continued
in a state of extreme ease and sterling
exchange reacted a fraction under the
influence of buying of securities for
London account and a further decline
in the London discount rate. which is
now well below the New York rate.
The weeks exports of merchandise to
New York which were valued at S12,-
1895 the largest total on record, in
dictate that the recent rise in exchange
was in no wise due to lack Of supply
With the continued tendency toward
ease in the London discount rate the
demand for sterling for collateral is
| likely to cease. 1t is evident that this
country can command further supplies

Kingman should incorporate at
once. The benefits to be derived
from Incorporation are many. In
the first place we need water sys-
TEN with a capacity sufficient for
fire and domestic purposes. A
sewer will have to be put in on
Front street and that thoroughfare
graded up. The hundreds Of cur
dogs in town will have to pay a tax
or go to the boneyard. The mayor
and council receive no pay for serv-
ices and the police duty will be at
tended to by one man. No police
court need be maintained as a lust
ice will have jurisdiction over all
criminal as well as ci--ll matters.
kingman has a population of near
ly one thousand people and growing
rapidly. City government will ben.
eft us and we should lose no time
in taking advantage of it.

The hope OF Colorado is in the new
districts that are being discover ed by the
ever restless and enterprising prospector.
There the poor man has chance to be.
come the millionaire and there also the
capitalist getting 10 on the ground floor
can, by jndcious investment, make his
capital earn 800 to 500 per cent. At the
same time every lew discovery stimu
lates anew the interest in mining and a
larger number engage in the business
The older districts ar, apt to settle down
to a steady gait and the best properties
fall into the hands Of large corporations
or aggregations OF capital, and hence 50
far as the poor man is concerned his op.
portunities are practically limited TO his
wages, il employed in one Of these mines.
The stockholders enjoy dividends and
large amount is paid out for lanor, but
the commanding benefits after all, are
the few. In the new camps, on the 9th
er hand, frequent strikes and sales keep
a good deal of money active and main.
tain an interest that directly benefits the
larger number in camp Denver Record

The free and unlimited coinage
of silver will be an issue as long as
the white metal is denied the right
of coinage at the mints of the
United States. The people should
unite on the issue and no man
should be put in position who has
a faint of the traitor in him. If
the democrats are to continue in
the confidence of the people they
should remove the gold bug Cleve-
land men at the head of party af-
fairs.
