A DIFFERENT PROPOSITION.

Gov. Lind will find when he comes
to the making of his campaign that he
is confronted with very different pro-
position from that which confronted
him two years ago. Then there was
more or less dissension in the Repub-
lican ranks, and something of dispo-
sltion on the part of one faction to
''get back at" another, aud on the
whole all conditions we're unfavorable.
This year there is absolute harmony
within the party, only one guberna-
torial candidate in the field and GEN
eral disposition on the part of Repub-
licans to get out and elect the ticket
first and attend to matters of detail
and reorganization afterwards. On
the other hand the present admins
tration will De on the defensive from
the outset, on account of the notori-
ously bad appointments and the mis-
conduct of the various departments of
the State government. It will 4take
more than a mere corruption fund,
extorted from the employees of the
State, to pull Lind through.-St. Paul

the people are going to listen coldly

HEAVEN & sroUTs COTTON LETTE,

Ia Y - L
New York, n. Y, July 2S.--The princl-
nal feature of the cotton market this
week has been its inactivity and the de-
cidcd reduction of both outside and pro-
feesonal interest in it's speculative side.
There have been no material changes
either in the technical position or the
general circumstances surrounding the
new crop 1t would seem that many OPP
orators have evened UP their engagements
in old crop options, there having been
reports that leading bears have effected
private settlements of their outstanding
shorts The weather reports have been
favorable to the progress of the new
crop, and this has of course created more
or less bearishness upon new crop OPP
tons, although there is an indisposition
to put out fresh shorts in the Fall and
Winter deliveries owing to the fear that
the market may be influenced more or
less by renewed clique manipulation in
the August delivery. The recent mani
pulation of the cotton market has in fact
been of a kind which not unnaturally
discourages outside participation and rem
ders the trade at large cautious as to its
ventures of a speculative character
The strength of the statistical position
of the old crop is generally recognized,
and among other reports from Europe was
one which had reference to the alleged
closing down of certain Lancashire cotton
mills owing to the scarcity Of raw mate
rial. On the other hand the spot mar
kets have been exceedingly dull with a
very limited demand, and the Chinese sit

,ent. Small net losses are the rule

ment. Small net losses are the rule
as a consequence. The feature was
a perpendicular drop of three points
in American Sugar, after an opening
advance Of three eighths. The reason
assigned was n rumor of strike in
one of the company's refineries. The
rumor was denied without materially
strengthening the stock. Selling or
ders to stop losses on the long SIDE
were uncovered at the decline ana
the raid on the stock was doubtless
made with the purpose Of dislodglng
these orders. The bears were con-
tent to take their profits and the stock
quieted down. Brooklyn Rapid Iran
sit was bid up on continued runors
of a good annual report and Chlcago,
Burlington and Quincy was bought
on the belief that the oune report
would show net earnings that would
compare favorably with those OF oth-
err roads. The selling after the baniS
statement seemed to be realizing ana
was based on the supposition thHt
shorts would cover on the good bank
statement. But there did not seem to
be anv shorts and the market sagged
The closing was heavy.
AS the additional deposits in the
banks were largely cash, the surplus
benefited to the substantial extent
of $3,454,075. The field of the loan
expansion is not very clear. Ger
tainly new loans did not find their
way into stock market operations.
The increase of over a million in the
outstanding circulation of the banks
is due to the completion of the plates
for printing notes in Washington
work on which has delayed the issu-
ing of notes already applied for by
the banks. A recovery in sterling e<-
change in Paris to the high point
of the week and sharp rise in Ter
lin discounts were features OF the
day bearing on the question Of gold
exports next week.

The market for dry goods retains its
slightly frmer tone though no radi-
cal, increase in business is reported.
The reduction in bleached cottons has
helped to make an increased yardage,
while brown goods are slightly
better, some makers having practical
ly withdrawn from the market. The
curtailment at Fall River has been
a bullish factor, which is likely to be
of increasing Importance. The open
