CITIZENS UNION PLATFORM.

Besides exercising the important function OF
choosing a committee of seventy TO take III
charge the preparation of a mayoralty ticker, the
convention of the Citizens Union early in April
will be called upon 10 adopt platform declara-
tory of its general aims as well as OF It's IN
tended course during the coming campaign. III
is TO be hoped that the leaders of the union
will approach this matter of platform in the
same conservative spirit which we believe
they are determined to maintain in the matter
of nominations 1t is inevitable, probably, that
an element will wish TO commit the union TO
some of the various schemes for municipal bet
terment classed under the head of forward
proyramma" These are of all sorts and kinds
some of them perhaps good some of them prob
ably bad: all of them subjects of debate and
dispute. upon which no considerable number of
persons are found in final agreement. 1t is not
necessary to go into a detailed discussion of
any of the projects of this nature which are
likely TO be offered TO the convention. What
ever their merits or demerits. they all stand
upon the same footing because they are all in
the moOted stage.
As everybody knows and a $ everybody agrees.
when ii is stated in general terms, the duty of
the hour Is unification. If the Citizens Union.
through its committee of seventy or through
its convention or in any way, can point out the
common ground upon which all the anti-Tam-
many forces can stand in this canvass. the union
will perform its highest possible function. 1t is
true that the choice of n candidate for Mayor
will largely determine this common ground, but
il is most important that the Citizens Union plat
FORM if il is'to be adopted thus early. shall not
prove an obstacle TO the consolidation of forces.

sufficient, Russia, France and the United States
must be building navies for other purposes than
that Russia is apparently best able to increase
her naval expenditures out Of her aggregate
revenue and Japan is least able. though II must
also be borne I'm mind that Russia is working
an her sources of revenue to wellnigh their limit
of productivity, while Japan has scarcely YET
begun 10 raise a revenue. As for the uniteu
States il is spending a very modest share OF It's
revenue for warships, and while its ratio OF
naval expenditures 10 mercantile tonnage is
high. that Is obviously and only because it has
a preposterously and discreditably small COM
mercial marine.

delivery. No alarm is yet expressed regarding
the position Of this industry. because it is evil
dent that the enormous volume of business is
so far above'the average that production may
safely exceed an ordinary quantity without
threatening accumulation of stocks. Neverthe-
less it is wise TO view the situation cOnserva-
lively and not permit enthusiasm 70 over
whelm calm Judgment. or there will he another
unfortunate setback, like the one that began
about a year ago. Economy of operation
through consolidation undoubtedly puts the
manufacture a f1rmer basis than ever pe-
FORE and it is not possible to gauge the market
by former standards.
Strength shown by the cereals. Wheat
exhibiting much firmness when news from the
East indicated the possibility of war There
were also more reports of injury by the Hessan
Ay Later domestic crop news became more
encouraging winter wheat in the Southwest
promising unusually well. Foreign purchases
are still the chief support. exports in three
weeks exceeding those of the same time last
year by 23.S per cent After declining 3.G9
cents pound from the top point of the season.
ii to be expected that cotton would recover
moderately. During the long period OF weak
ness. taking the quotation to the lowest point
since early in February, 1900. a heavy short
interest was developed in the speculative mar
ket and at the first sign of resistance these
traders hastened TO secure profits. Efforts to
cover contracts always increase the momentum
with which a commodity tends upward, and it
is only surprising that the advance was not
more pronounced. The market is partly held
down by the large loss in exports. and also by
the failure of port receipts to show the an
ticipated decrease.
Little support is given the material by
news from manufacturing centres. Southern
mills have curtailed production, particularly as
to yarns and now New England spinners are
reducing their output about one-haf Pur-
chasers show alarm at the prospect of
smaller supplies of goods. and as yet there Is
no improvement in demand, while prices re-
main unchanged al the lowest point Of the sea
son. Slightly better reports come from the
other leading textile industry, though manu-
lacturers as a rule slow to make goods in
excess of orders. At all markets for wool how
ever, there is evidence that the fall in quota
tions has received check. Dealers express re-
lief that bankrupt stocks have ceased to de-
press prices and there is also satisfaction over
brisk competition at the London auction sale.
Shipments from Boston large, and 1t is not
unreasonable to suppose that the long period of
sagging prices has reached end. Silk is also
improving while some of the strikes are in a
fair way TO be settled. Shoe shops are we'll sup
piled with contracts at steady prices. and in
rubber footwear there is activity.
