CONFESSIONS OF a eoLDBUe.

Something is spreading alarm among
the goldbugs. Whether it is the en-
thusiastc welcome Bryan is. receiving
everywhere in the east, or some other
evidence Of popular disapproval Of the
rule of the money trust, the champions
of financial legislation now pending are
beginning to weaken.
To be sure, the New York sun or
posed the caucus plan to legalize the
existing gold standard and destroy
greenbacks before the Introduction Of
the currency bill, fearful that such ag-
gressiveness might reveal the power q
Wau street behind the throne of the
administration. But no attention was
paid 10 the admonitions of the sun IN
til quite recently.
Among the newspapers which ere
slowly swinging into line with the sun
is the New York Tribune, which gives
considerable space to communications
from Professor J. Rice Winchen of
New Haven, a well. known advocate Of
the single monetary standard Besides
the argument presented by the pro-
fessOr. a synopsis and review appears
on the editorial page of the Tribune,
showing the importance attached to the
opinions advanced.
The bin under discussion is treated as
"a bill to elect Bryan" which justifies
the charge that the Republican party
has conspired to overthrow the money
of the people and replace it with the
money of the miIlionaires and sPecu-
lators"
The professor begins by describing
the measure as follows:

Now, if Democrats of a missionary
bent of mind are ready to quit preach
ing and get down to politics. the COM
ing convention will be able to do a lot
of necessary work and to lay an excel
lent foundation for the coming presi-
Dental campaign. There are political
evils which threaten the very structure
of our government far more than any
Obsolete and vanishing social system
which threatens the American home.
II is high time that Democrats were
beginning TO take cognizance of the
robber policies that lay a hand on
every Americans pocket book. take
from his children that which is his and
theirs, and expose them to tempta-
tons which cause more misery, shame
ard heartaches than can any condition
into which they may voluntarily enter.
Let us not make the mistake of strain
ing at gnats and swallowing camels.

These Are Closing Sales
Each Day.

New York, June 20.-The stock mar
ket made some Roadway during the
early part OF the session against de-
preston. and an average level of prices
materially above last night was estab-
IShed. Room traders were inclined to
take the long side for n turn, under
the impression that the market had
been oversold and u rally was due. But
before the end of the session large
onerings Of stocks were thrown on the
market embracing all the principal
groups of securities dealt in. Earlier
gains We're more than wiped out, the
decline from the best in the active
rnllroad stocks running from l 10 Ia,
the net losses We're mostly fractional,
but some of the specalties show wide
declines and the same is true of some
Oh the dormant stocks which have not
been dealt in during the late period
OF weakness. The chief influence in
turning the tide of sentiment towards
the bear side was the acute weakness
developed in Sugar and Brooklyn
Rapid Transit, and in other specialties
by sympathy. The bears attacked the
Brooklyn stocks with great confidence
and encountered n little opposition in
forcing the price down. The drop in
Sugar extended to over points and
was without special explanation. All
of the gas stocks were acutely depress-
ed, the declines extending from tx in
Peoples Gas to 5& In Brooklyn Union
Gas. Other notable declines were Cot
ton Oil preferred s, Chicago Great
Western preferred 2. on disappoint-
meTt over the failure to declare div
idend. The Tobacco stocks, General
Electric and New York Air Brake from
IA to 4. These violent declines had
sympathetic effect on the whole list
The money market hardened appre-
ciably, and the possibility of quick
inroads on the small surplus reserves
of the banks receive increasing atten-
tion To-day's engagement of S1100,-
600 of gold for shipment to France was
expected and sterling exchange eased
off under the offerings of bills against
the shipment. Discount rates harden
ed both in London and Berlin and
sterling fell a fraction in Paris, so
that it is considered probable that the
demand for gold is not yet satisfied
and gold is expected to go out on Sat
urday.

were lower. Total sales, par value,

CHICAGO MARKET.
Wheat, Corn, Oats, Provisions
Lard, Short Ribs, &C.

Chicago, June 20-Wheat had an
other sensational advance in price to-
day, July selling up to Sl9s-3M cents
higher than the close yesterday, and
closed at the top. There was an enor-
nous trade. An estimate puts the
amount which changed hands at 80
900, 900 bushels. Many who had bought
at a lower price took out fortunes in
profits. The extremely grave situation
in the Northwest was the influence in
the advance. Reports from that sec
tion to-day were that the crop had
been practically ruined by the lack of
rain.
To-day's closing prices are the high
est for wheat since the collapse of the
Letter deals.
The leading futures ranged as follows:
