sRATTLEaoRo MARKET REPORT

Rumors of Changes in Staple Articles
Nova Scotia HOLSTERS Force Down
the Price-Upward Tendency in
Hay.
Christmas being past the local mar
ket is less active than it was last
week, but the prices are substantially
the same. There are rumors of
changes in some of the staple articles
of food, but the disposition in the larg-
er markets is to keep up prices as
long as possible. Nova Scotia lob
sters appeared in the market this
week, two weeks earlier than usual.
and in consequence Holsters are sell
ing for four cents a pound below last
weeks figure. There is an upward
tendency in hay, and price of $22 a
ton by next spring is predicted. Some
farmers are now demanding $40 a ton
for loose hay.

Fishing and Returned to Politics.
Chicago Platform to be Reamrmsd.
LINCOLN, Neb.. June 25.-W J.
Bryan returned to-day from his Wis
consln fishing trip and will remain here
until after the Democratic national
convention. He said he had been placed
in a wrong position by some one who
had presumed to outline his plan Oe
campaign.
"Any statement made by anybody In
regard to the campaign plans arc
without foundation or authority" he
added mo plans have been made by
me or by any one for me and no plans
viii be made until after the convention
has been held"
Mr. Bryan was asked whether he
could say anything in regard to the
platform to be adopted at Kansas City.
He replied;
VIII ReaHirm Chicago Platform.
mo one, of course. can say what lan-
guage will be used in setting forth the
party principles. But some idea can be
obtained as to the general tenor Of the
platform from the platforms adopted in
the state conventions. As large ma
jorlty of the delegates have been elects
ed by conventions which reaflrm tho
Chicago platform, 1t Is safe to assume
that the Kansas City platform will re-
affirm the Chicago platform and viii
contain nothing which can be construed
as a surrender or modification Of the
platform on the old issues.
ut is equally certain that there win
be a strong and definite plank against
the trusts. There is also no doubt that
the plank against Imperialism will be
clear and explicit. MilitarIam will be
denounced and sympathy expressed
for the Beers. This much is evident
from what has already taken place."
Asked IL there was any truth In the
rumors that vice president win bO
chosen whose views on the s10ney
question viii be attractive 70 thoGe Who
opposed the ticket in 1885, NJ, sryan
replied:
Would Not Discuss Vice Presidency.
'I don't care to discuss the vice pres
idency now, further than to say that
assume that the candidate nominated
for vice president will be in harmony
with the platform. The Vice president
not only presldes over the senate while
the president is alive. but assumes the
office of president in case OF the presI-
dents death. and 1t is hardly probable
that delegates to national convention
would write a national platform and
then select for either place on the ticket
man who would repudiate the plat
form. No man worthy to be considered
for such an office would accept a nomi-
nation on a platform repugnant TO his
views on any important issue. In every
campaign men support u ticket with
out approving all of the platform. but
no one can defend platform unless he
believes in 1t. Many tariff reform gold
Democrats supported the Republican
ticket four years ago, although they
dIssented from the protection plank.
But the Republican convention would
not have nominated a tariff reformer
upon protection platform. There 10
sometimes a joint debate between can
didates on opposing tickets, but not be-
tween candidates on the same ticket"
