undue freedom. Monday bought them
back today. Decrease in the volume of
the dealings indicates that all of the stock
sold, Monday, was rebought, today. Prices
moved slowly upward and retrieved the
greater part of yesterdays losses. There
was a small setback during the final hour.
but this was apparently due to nothing
more than normal profit taking by room
traders invited by so considerable an adj
vance. The market rallied again and
closed firm but little below the best 1t
was generally understood before the
opening market that concerted measures
had been taken at Pittsburg to protect
was also known that heavy transfers of
currency were being made to Baltimore
to insure protection against sudden de-
mands upon deposit there. The feeling
amongst the bears was that the failures
at Baltimore had uncovered the weak
spots in the situation and the fact that
today brought no extension of the trou-

the strain was over which would demon

of the extra session of Congress with the

The same is true of the meetings now

AS to the creed of Dowie, the So

new in it. In the main it is strictly Or

found in earlier creeds, which protest
against the materialism which has re-

At length it looks as though the Re-
publican party had something to fear
from William ]. Bryan. AS the leader
Of the opposition. he has been good
man for the Republicans, but now that
he praises the President and declares
that free silver is dead as door nail
and not likely to figure in the 1904 con-
vention, he may bear watching by the
Republican managers. In an inter-
view, last week, he declared that NO
other man in the Republican party
equals Roosevelt in the esteem OF the
common people, and especially In the
West. None equals Roosevelt in his
power to command the respect of all
nations and to WELD an influence on the
world at large" This is true. every
swsrd Of IT,, and Mr. bryan well knows
that II Mr. Roosevelt lives he will be
Selected President in 1904. but this praise
IT'S q little embarrassing. from politi-
Zeal point of view. and may cost the
president some votes from people wht
elieve they have good reason to bs
euspicious of anything endorsed anf
recommended by Mr.. Bryan.
