ONE WEEK Of TRADE

r. G. Dunn and Company's weekly
review CT trade says: 1T is often hard
to read encouraging symptoms OF gen
eral business in declining prices of
commodities, but just now it is reason
able TO look for them. Some raw ma
terials, and some manufactured pro-
ducts one stage removed from the raw,
are selling at lower prices than at any
time since last years advance set in;
but there is confidence among buyers
that the downward swing is nearly
over, while sellers are adopting a eau
tious policy, which until recently char
acteTized the attitude OF buyers.
The business being done is not OF
the kind that at once shows in bank
clearings, which for New York are 25.i
per cent. and for thirteen other leading
cities Al per cent below last year for
the week; and strikes have led to fur
ther shutting down Of factories, while
|others are threatened unless efforts at
wage settlement succeed. Yet business
has now what seems a substantial basis
OF prices to work upon in lines where
that has long been lacking, and many
wage disputes should soon adjust auto
matically."

dltons still favor the buyer, genera

Is snap state convention without
legitimate representation one OF the es-
sentials Of an adjustment Of our state
differences? The Republicans are
ready to meet the Addicksites on any
fair proposition for harmony of action
in the present campaign. but they do
not intend to take any step which will
recognize Addicks as a senatorial pos
sibilIty, or to consent to have any state
or county ticket set up by him forced
upon them. In whatever negotiations
may take place between the Republ-
cans and Union Republicans these two
facts must be borne in mind Addicks

his can be governor -orattorney-ge general
Party interest and public interest pre-

Whether there shall be one or two
state tickets depends entirely upon the
Union Republicans. The Republicans
are striving for one ticket upon which
all opponents Of Democracy can unite
because OF its representative Republi-
can character. If Mr.. Alice is sincere
in his declaration he will abandon his
red-rag course OF the past, declare him
self and his committee free from The
shackles OF Addicks. and demean him
self as a self-thinking man who does
not deal in either thoughts, policies oi
