market was generally steady in tone. in
spite of lower prices I'm London and the
Texas disaster, The buying was largely
against previous sales and was, therefore
not of the best. The pause In the coal

encouraging development inasmuch as time

The export movement seems destined to
assume enormous proportions in the near

DENOUNCED BY DUELL
REPORT THAT MCKINLEY IS TO BE
SACRIFICED.
Declares That state and National
Ticket Will Have Big Major
tiles in New York.

Mr.. Duell, commissioner Of patents, who
Is thoroughly posted on political conditions
in the empire state, said to a Star reporter
this morning, when his attention was
called to the charge that the republican
organization of New York intended to
sacrifice the, national for the state ticket:
There Is absolutely no foundation for
the statements ernanating from Chicago
that Senator Plat and the organization
leaders in New York intend to subordinate
the national ticket to the state ticket

ton at Saratoga. Seldom. If ever. have

Ex-Governor Black placed Mr.. Odell in
nomination. Governor Roosevelt and Gov
ernor-to-be OdelI addressed the convention.
while Senator Depew delivered one Of his
clever and mastery addresses.
The tone OF the convention toward
President Mckinley was very different
from that of fourtyears ago. Then his
name was hardly mentioned His friends
and opponents in New Fork viewed each
other with distrust. and there was much

sentiment of all when he said that his chief
duty would be to- re-elect President Nc
Kinley. Thenhdea that the national ticket

is absurd. Republicans of all shades of
opinion will loyalty and earnestly support
both tickets. and they will both have ma
jorities Of at least one hundred thousand.
ITO consider New York state as In any
sense doubtful Is amusing to those famil-
lar with the situation. Not only will the
republican nstiena4r and state tickets have
heavy majorfties, 57but we will gain at
least four representatives and elect a leg
fslaturo republican in both branches.
THE DEMOCRATS In New York are divided
not the, republicans. Senator Plat IS
supreme in sthe state at the present, time,
but his Influence this fab has a good effect,
and illustrates the wisdom of leader who

an admirable one. u 1t deserves, and will
receive the support Of all who believe that
prosperity Is the paramount issue and who
favor policies that will lead to Its con-
tinuance.

stir up strife between the national and
state committees in New York Is only for
