wasn't anything wonderful in that be-
cause few people know the latter gen
tleman to love him, but unluckily Mr..
Davis didn't stop with MIR. Evans but
went on 70 fight his superior, the sec
rotary Of the interior. And then there
were catsclysms and things In the big
marble hen coop on F street where the
interior department comes to focus.
Naturally the secretary and the com
missioner of pensions simply double
teamed on the assistant secretary and
went for him.
Finally the situs tion became upbear-
able and Mr.. Mckinley with charac-
teristic love of balmy peace, tried to
patch matters up. He suggested that
Mr.. Davis take long vacation for

but for some unknown reason he pick

noyance of our ad administration. AS
matter of fact it wasn't exactly accord
ing to the precepts Of my revered
friend Dame Grundy, to have ore OF
our assistant secre tariee go to coun-
try at war and accept official favors.
Then there was much cabling. but
finally Davis consented to come home,
but once here he proclaimed his inten-
tIon OF starting out on pro- Boer

Wherefore when Dewey announced
him self in the field, both sides simply
gasped He was dark horse that
wasn't expected or wanted, and what
made 1t worse, wedidn't know positive
ly whether he was a republican or a
democrat. Everybody started to go
over the Dewey records with a fine
tooth com b and search warrant but
the in vestigation turned out to be Ike
the famous hunt after Polar bears In
sheol, annoying in detail and dlsap-
pointing ia result. The admiral kind
ly gave US a hint by saying that he was
the candidate of the New York World,
but that didn't help US any because
the World hasn's any platform in
particular except that OF adamantine
dislike TO It's twin, the New YORK
Journal. The two papers thrive on
sort of reversed Kilkenny Cat act,
each living by scrapping with the
other, and both have regulations
which stand 10 need OF disinfection and
a board of heslth visitation. or
course, the admiral is not supposed to
know this though.
Finally we figured it out by light OF
pure science. Dewey is q New Eng
lander of rock-ribbed republican an
tecedents: Mrs. Dswey is one of the
Cincinnati McLeaus, aud therefore on
the other side of the fence and part
way across the field: wherefore 1t was
fair to assume that on joint ballot the
Dewey family would go democratic by
a snail majority. Which IL did. The
admiral came out yesterday with an
announcement that so far as he knew
he was feebly dem ocra.ic. The reason
he alleged for the faith that was
within him was that while he had
never voted or taken interest in pol
tiles. he had once felt like voting for
Cleveland. Which, taken as a symp
tom of democracy, doesn't appeal to
the Bryan crowd little bit.

so that consumers are asking whether in
some directions the decline may have not
been reasonably large. as was the advance,
and whether buying on the present basis
of prices is not fairly sure. There are
further evidences of weakness In raw ma
terials, notably the break in structural
iron, but each one is awaited of to place
heavy contracts. New York is welcoming
buyers from all over the country in larger
numbers than for many years at this sea-
son in dry goods, in groceries, in jewelry
and in hardware. Reports this week from
other important points of distribution show
the same eagerness to buy when the time
seems right.
1t is becoming more apparent hat the
bottom has been reached in prices of iron
and steel. The decline was severe and re-
covery must be slow. but gradual advances
and moderately increasing activity are

For the year shipments of boots and

P~REDOMINANCE OF GOOD.
Bradstreet Sees 1t i'm the General Con-
dftions of Trade


NEW YORK. Aug. 17.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say: Among the favorable
features this week are advices of further
expansion in fall trade distribution at lead
ing Western c%enters, with relatively best
buying proceeding from those sections of
the Southwest which a profted by good
crops; a rather better distribution by dry
goods jobbers at the East; a frmer tone
and a perceptible growth in confidence, ac-
companied by heavy buying In some classes
of steel. and iron, and a disposition TO be-
lieve that an average wheat crop and much
more than average corn and oats crops are
assured. Steady increases in current gross
railway earnings over a year ago and an
exceptionally favorable net earnings re-
port for the first half of the year are adj
ditional encouraging features.
The list of unfavorable elements in the
trade situation is at best a negative one.

though less effective than usual in this re-
spect, the backward demand for spring
woolens and the slow demand for the raw
material. the restriction i'm production of

ton in nearly all lines. and especially in

price changes are noted are mainly because
of this, though weather and crop conditions
have played some part in wheat. corn and
cotton, respectively. The money market as
a whole is still easy, the only increase in
demand being noted at the West, where
trade is expanding. but where moving crops
are still in the future. The staple prices
are perhaps slightly irregular. but changes
are small, and the larger number of staples
are unchanged.
