AS TO THE DEMOCRATIC NoMI-
NEE.

Various newspapers are discussing
the question as to who will be or should
be the next Democratic nominee for
President. Such discussion can do
no harm, but it will probably accom-
plish little good. Unless unforeseen
circumstances arise Roosevelt will be
the next Republican nominee, but no
man can now name the next Demo
cratic nominee. He will doubtless be
an Eastern man, but his name is not
yet revealed. Among those frequent
ly mentioned are German, Cleveland,
Olney, Hill and Parker. 1t will hard
ly be German, though he is an able
man who will be the Democratic lead
er in the next Senate. Olney is an
exceptionally strong man, clean, cour-
ageous, intellectual, man who would
inspire confidence and who IN all es-
sential qualities would make an ideal
Chief Executive. Hill is generally re-
garded as out of the running. The
coal plank in the New York platform
seems to have torn away his swelling
sails, though had the Democrats achiev-
ed victory in New York many of those
who are now denouncing Hill would
be less caustic in their criticisms, il
not his open supporters. Judge Par
ker is without the weaknesses and OBJ
jections which a political record of a
national character is apt to develop,
and this reason, coupled with the fact
that he is a clean, able man and a New
Yorker, may cause him to be accepted
as a satisfactory candidate by all fac
tions, if there be factions.
The Democratic party will have to
fight shy of Bryan and Cleyelandism
if it expects any smooth sailing in the
next Presidential campaign. If these
gentlemen have a spark of patriotism
or love for the principles which they
have stood and fought for they will
not allow their names to go before the
next democratic nominating conven
ton. Great issues are to be presented
in the Presidential campaign mex
year and 1t would be the extreme O.
folly for the Democratic party to en-
ter the battle weighted down with the
feuds of past campaigns.
The Democratic nominee may b,
some man whose name has not beer
mentioned in that connection. It il
not necessary to select a candidat,
two years ahead. The policy of (
united party is more important thar
the candidate. All discussion of tn,
nominee at this juncture is mer,
speculation.

Baxter q CO.'S otton Letter.

New York, June 12.-Cotton opened ex-
cited as a result of a big jump of the
old crop months in Liverpool and the de-
cline of 26 points which took place yes
terday was freely recovered the opening
sales showing as much as As points gain
for July and IA points for January.
Changes thereafter were rapid Spots
were up IS points in Liverpool Shorts
were covering In both markets. The
weather was fair on the whole, but too
cool in the southwest. The main bear
argument now is the high price, but this
has been used for months and with little
effect and as we are now in the middle Of
June with the crop decidedly behind and
the world bare of supplies 1t is hard to
see how prices are to give way, no matter
what the price may be, as drouth, boil
woevil or frost may cut the yield down
to ridiculously low figures. Boiled down,
the situation is simply this: There is
too little cotton available of the old crop
and too little in sight from the new to
prevent prices going to any low figure.
Foreigners bought pretty freely at the
opening and offerings were light. July
sold off with a rush after the early adj
vance due in part to New Orleans SELL
ing. The market was nervous and the
trade was puzzled on account of wide and
rapid changes. Cables were to 10 points
higher today with tone feverish.

EGYPTIAN HOUSES BUYING

New York, June 1.-THE cotton mar
ket opened strong at an advance of IA to
ss points and at first ruled very firm and
excited under the surprisingly strong
Liverpool cables. These on the New York
close of yesterday should have reported
a decline Of from 21a to points. The
English market opened l point lower, but
by the time of the local opening was
about 16 to 20 points higher on the old
and 81 to points higher on the new
crop options.
Private cables attributed the sensational
advance purchases for the account of
Egyptian spectators, while many in the
local trade were inclined to attribute the
gains to the presence on the other side
OF the New England bull leader. who is
also said to have recently sent buying
orders into the local market. But what
ever may have caused the Liverpool
strength, local shorts were again COM
pletely routed. Foreign houses had buy
ing orders, the south was an urgent buy
er and this with covering sent prices up
with rush. July reached 1890, August
11.s4 and September 1887, within the first
few minutes. Almost at once, however,
there was enormous realizing Which
forced July down almost as rapidly as
1t had advanced until 1t touched 12.15 and
August 11.67 with the new crop months
showing a decline from the best of from
to points.
The attainment of this level was fol-
lowed by period of irregularity during
which trading became less active and
midday the market was net 10 TO 80 points
higher. All the afternoon prices see
sawed within comparatively narrow
range and speculation was generally
quiet The into sight statement for the
week while showing decrease in the
movement, as compared with last year,
has been discounted, and the markets for
tomorrow's receipts exerted no apprecia-
BILE influence. Just before the close, the
market was weak under scattered liqui-
dation and reached the lowest point of the
day in the last half hour, July selling at
70 0S and August at II. Sc There was a
slight rally under covering just before
the close but the market was finally bare
ly steady, net 10 to 30 points higher with
July closing at 70. 10, August at II. 6S and
September at 1915. Total sales of futures
were estimated at $4,000 bales.
