DeArmOnd for Speaker.

St Lauis Republic.
Washington, Jan. 14-Indications
are not wanting that there will be
lively contest for the Democratic
nomination for the Speaker of the
next Congress. Much interest
already is felt in this important
question, and the extent of this in
terest shows the general belief that
all signs are pointing to a Demo
cratic majority in the House
Within the last week the asser-
ton has been made by members
from many different States, in CON
versation with their friends, that
Missouri will present a prominent
candidate to succeed Tom Reed.
This is not because of the undue
ambition of any Missouri Democrat,
nor is it due to any effort by any
member of that delegation to create
a sentiment 10 favor of such a can
didate. For some time, however,
many members have been conscious
of the eminent qualifications of
Judge DeArmond for the Speaker.
ship. They believe that he is in
every way fitted to discharge the
exacting duties of the office in
manner creditable to the Democracy,
to the State of Missouri and to him
self. The Judge is too modest a
man to give much heed to these
suggestions, but The Republic cor
respondent has heard them on more |
than one occasion. and knows that |
there is belief in the minds of |
many Democrats that he would /
make model Speaker of the House.
The Judge has treated these sug-
gestions lightly, but they are made
with seriousness by others. The
sentiment has increased, and will |
continue to grow. Mr.. DeArmond |
has shown himself well equipped in
every way. and his aggressive,
prompt and vigiiant work in the
House has not escaped the attention
of members of both sides The Dem.
ocrats of the House will have

New York. July 1.-The course of to-
days stock market was one of excitement
and drifting until near the close when
some appearance of animation and
strength developed throughout the list.
This was doubtless in a large part due to
the covering demand by belated shorts
who did not care to leave their contracts
open over the three-days' holiday. The
buying at the close lifted prices to the
top level. net gains extending TO more
than 2 points in exceptional cases. Dur
ing the earlier part of the day the mar
ket was almost stagnsnt, many active
stocks showing not a single quotation IL
looked very much as though even the
closing up of contracts incident 10 the
eve of a three-days suspension of trading
had all been completed yesterday ana
there was no disposition TO venture upon
fresh commitments on account OF the con-
ficting possibilities in the outlook. On
the part OF the bears there was to be
feared the effect of the probable fan OF
Santiago or the occupation or Manila. Inc
possibility of serious harm TO the crops
at this critical stage deferred many ope-
rators from engagements on the long
side.
There Is still some doubt felt as to how
the money market will come through the
aking up of the government loan. The
announcement from Washington that
subscriptions for small amount already
accepted foot up $40. 10000 indicates that
the future strain on the money market
will be eased by that much. IL Is conh-

subscriptions by savings bank depositors

yearly interest will be largely augmented

Among the special movements to-day
are TO be noted advances in all the local

traffic returns for the approaching hol-
day. The price of Great Northern pre-
