London, Jan. 9.-The ease of the mon
ey market was accumulated during the
past week. Money and discount rates
have fallen. and it is expected terms for
deposits will be lower shortly. One
cause for the relapse has been the disap-
pearance of the continental gold demand
which has resulted in fall in the price
for bars. On the stock exchange bust
ness increased substantially. Consols
were lower and dull on the belief that
England was preparing for the direct loan
to China by the sale of consols. Colonials

railroad securities, after dropping ut the
beginning of the week, took sudden
bound upward on Wednesday, the En-
glish demand being very moderate. The
result of the American lines showed
minor increases. There was a big buy
ing of Canadian railroad shares. The
rise in Grand Trunks ranged from / IL
to 5 IL points, and Canadian Pacific
went up 3 3D. points.

BUSINESS GOOD.
Prices Firm, With Demand for Goods
Very Fair,

Manchester, Jan. "a good business
is progressing throughout, fully cqualling
productions. Many manufacturers, espe
ciallly in Indian goods, are fully engaged
on long time contracts, and further or
ders are difficult to arrange owing to the
long delivery asked. China makes also
are well sold The demand is continu-
ing for Egypt. and Turkish buying is
fair. South America is doing little. The
home trade feels the strike more keenly
each week. Prices are firm everywhere,
but there is no material advance as vet.
Yarns are firm and well sold out. but
there is little stock. English exports of
cotton goods to the United States last
year were 62.512,OO0 pounds sterling, as
against 55,9120W in 1906. ~
Reports from the French markets show
big business for several weeks past, and
Germany is heavily sold.
Last year ninety-one mills in Oldham,
Lancashire, averaged in net profits 1884,
600 pounds better than during any year
since 1892. The capital engaged was
6,100, 900 pounds.

officers and Americans, and have some
definite idea of what is going on in that
terribly devastated island. know posi-

AS Mr.. King saw Gen. Lee yesterday,
he evidently speaks with authority.

The policy of the democratic party in
the state was outlined last night ut the
celebration of Jackson day in Birming
ham by the Democratic Bimetallic club.
Col. John w. Tomlinson, member of the
National Bimetallic league, and who is
in close touch with Governor Johnson and
supposed to represent the opinions of the
governor, spoke and in the course of his
remarks he said:
Alabama will stand by the Chicago
platform; there can be no compromise,
and by the eternal there will be none"
State Senator Cunningham, speaking in
the same tenor, said that the silver dem
ocrats are in favor of allowing the Palmer
and Buckner democrats to come back to
the party, but that they must keep ut the
rear of the procession and that none of
them must offer for office. He stated
that all the populists had practically
come back to the democratic party and
that some of them would be sent to the
legislature and others given other Offices.
But" he said, mo Palmer and Buckner
men need apply" His remarks were
wildly applauded

New Bedford, Mass, Jan. 9.-Yester-

strike is prob" bic. After the operatives
lr money they proceeded to
evuu stock of provisions. Many
Weavers had barrels of -four rolled into
their kitchens. The majority of the OPP
eratives think a strike is sure to be
begun and all that could be heard talked
or at the north and south ends of the
city was the probable strike In making
their rounds today the collectors of the
Viewers association found many French
Canadian weavers making preparations
to leave for Canada just as soon as a
strike is on. 1t was found that over 200
French weayers would leave after Il
strike was inaugurated. Besides, many
other weavers declare their intention of
leaving the city if a strike goes into eff
feet. In the first week after the strike
it is said over 100 persons will leave the
city. Secretary Waldron of the Card and
Picker Room association has called gen
eral meeting for Tuesday night to take
ballot as to whether to strike or not.
The meeting was attended by every
member of the board, and delegates rep
resenting every mill centering in New
England were present. Several dele
saws HIiuc uppllCdJlOI LOT PERMISSION TO
strike, but the board denied permission
to all places except Lowell and New
Bedford, it being thought advisable to
have the strength of the organization CEN
tered in these places. In the event of
Lowell declining to strike, the assess
ment, which will amount to $3.50 or $500
a week, will be devoted to the New Bed
ford strike. 1t was voted where reduc-
tons in wages occur which bring them

to decide as to the ACCESSIBILITY of
strike. 1t was decided that in cases of
strikes the back boys and doffers would
receive 50 a week during the strike.
In Dover N H., notice of reduction
has not yet been posted. The men claim
they are working for per cent less than
the Fall River operatives were, and will
oppose any reduction. In case a reduc-
ton is threatened at Dover the matter
will be brought to the attention of the
national board for immediate action.

Senator Hanna. That the existence Of
these pledges thus become matter of
temporary embarrassment to the men
who had made them without the knowl-
edge that the conventions would declare
for any individual goes without saying,
but that their first duty after accepting
a nomination and election under these cir
cumstances was to withdraw their
pledges made before these new conditions
arose is equally apparent. These pledges
were made upon the superstition that the
election of senator would follow the usual
course and that each member would be
entirely free to vote for such individual
candidate as his judgment might dictate.
When it developed later, however, that
both the state and county conventions
declared unequivocally for single indi-
under those conditions were pledged in an
entirely new position. Their first duty as
republicans was to obey the mandate of
the party or decline to be its representa-
tive. 1t is not surprising then, in view
of these facts, that many men who made
these pledges prior to the action of the
state and county conventions have vol
UNFAIRLY and with frankness which
marks them as men of high sense of
honor, asked to be released from these
promises. Indeed, honorable men could
not consistently do otherwise and the
only surprise is that either of the men to
whom these pledges were made should
now expect or demand that they be kept
Every individual who thus pledged him
self has since doing so been informed by
state and county conventions that his
people desire and demand that he sup
port Senator Hanna and no other and
thus every one of them is not only justi-
fed in withdrawing that pledge, but is
in duty bound to do So"
1t is learned that eight affidavits re-
quested of Mr.. Kurtz are wanted for the
purpose of holding sixty-fve democrats in
line. There are some opposed to voting
for any republican for senator and about
a dozen democratic members have sig
nihed their desire to vote for Congress-
man John j. Lentz. Representative
Cramer of Paulding county, one of the
sixty-five democratic members, is very
sick at his rooms and his physicians say
he may not be able to be out for week
or more. His vote will be needed to de-
feat Hanna on the claims of the opposi-
ton tonight. 1t is understood Governor
Bushnell has declined to stand for sena-
tor for either or both terms and that the
present program is for Kurtz for both
the long and short terms for senator
against Hanna. While the gold standard
democrats have all along been opposing
this coalition, the ultra silver democrats
are the ones who are now giving "the
combine" the most trouble.
In connection with the bribery stories,
it is known that the stenographers notes
are in the possession of Hon. r.. G. Bath
bone, formerly assistant postmaster gen.
eral under Harrison and one of the Hanna
managers in the present contest.
