THE NEXT CONVENTION CITY.

Philadelphia has been chosen as the
place for the meeting of the next Ma
tional Republican Convention. We are
glad of it, The environment there Will
be better than in any other great city
of the Union It could not be worse
than in Chicago, no matter where the
convention assembled. New York Is
not a convention city. Boston Is out
of the question, because it is too far
to one side. Cincinnatis convention
days have passed, probably forever.

her turn has come again.

with all its incompetency to provide

energy, viii always be a candidate ior
National convention favors. Philadel-

tive, Self-pOSSeSSeu duu WeA pAe-
served Of all our great cities.
Her area is greater than that OF
any city of the nation. Her at
fractions are exceedingly strong. She
has facilities for hospitable entertain
ment surpassed by none. Her location
is admirable.
The Philadelphia atmosphere is very
little charged with chicane, trick and
low-down political energy. Philadelphia
will receive the National convention
with dignity, grace and sufficient fer
vor. But her people will stand apart and
leave the domestic policy Of the con-
vention alone, which is precisely what
is desired. Philadelphia will not med
die. Her own political contentious Will
not get tangled up with those Of the
National body. She will put no lobby
into the convention hall In her own in
terest. In short, Philadelphia, accord
ing to our conception of what a con-
vention city should be, is the nearest
possible approach to the ideal.

THE CAUSE.

The trade situation is thus discussed by
Bradstreet's: 1.-THE quieter tone of distrib-
utiye trade is even more marked this week
than last, testifying to the unfavorable
effect upon retail trade and indirectly up
ON j0bbing distribution of the cold, back
ward spring and less favorable wheat crop
advices. Other features of the week are
further quoting down of the excitement
in iron and steel, though here lack of sup
plies and not lack of consumptive demand
is assigned as the chief reason. Lumber
is feeling the influence of expanding
spring demand at many markets, and
prices are very strong. The situation in
textiles is little changed. Cotton is slight
ly lower on fuller crop movement, but
manufactured goods are firm. Wool and
woolens are rather quiet. The situation
as regards prices is still very favorable
one, the list of staples advancing or re-
naming steady, being by far the most
numerous, while bank cleariags, statistics,
railroad earnings and all other obtainable
measures of trade progress point to an
immense business, speculative and other

quarter of the year 1899. Wheat, includ-
ing -four, shipments for the week aggre-

Wanamakers Profits.

A business man OF Philadelphia said
the other day that Mr.. Wanamaker's
profits from his Philadelphia store last
year were over S1,7J0,000, and that
those from his New York establishment
will run close TO that figure The Sat
urday before Christmas the receipts ia
New York were even greater than those
In Philadelphia, and exceeded $500, 600
The New York store has paid profit
from the very day Ii was opened, al
though two firms which occupied the
establishment since A. T. Stewards
death have failed. The reason of Mr..
Wanamaker's great success, both in
New York and Philadelphia. Is his skill
full and extensive advertising. 1t has
been his rule to confine his advertising
to newspapers and magazines, ON which
he has spent annually more than $780,
600 in Philadelphia. The advertising
bills of his New York establishment ex-
ceeded even that sum last year.-New
