Chicago, June %. Secretary Shaw
and j. Adam Bede tonight addressed
an immense mass meeting in the Au-
ditorium. Frank o. Louden presided.
Both Mr.. Bede and Secretary Shaw
were accorded an ovation. Secre-
tiary Shaw defended the practice of
American manufacturers VITO sell
abroad cheaper than at home.
Mr.. Bede began by paying a tribute
to Mr.. Mckinley and Mr.. Hanna and
said that their livs should be an in
spiration for men to go ON with the
work they had begun. Applause
greeted his assertion that the people
of the United States sYmpatAized with
Japan in their struggle wit h Russia
because Japan stood for liberty and a
higher civilization Continuing
he said the southern people regarded
the black people of the south as a
great burden to them. In all the his

had not been another example of pro-
gress such as the black men of the
south nave made in the last forty

NO PUBLIC INTEREST SHOWN
National Republican Convention Apa-
thetic Plenty of Seats but No Takers
for Them. Scared by the Situation.

Chicago, June %. Without a dis
turbing element to imuede smooth
operation the first days program of
tie Republican national convention
was carried out like clock work.
Not jarring sound was heard, not
false step taken. 1t was an assemb-
carried into effect, without the thund-
erous demonstration usually attendant
upon political conventions, purpose
that had been clearly defined.
An organization was perfected pre-
paratory to the adoption of platform
and the making of nominations in
tile succeeding days of the convention.
From tine quiet yet unmistakable en-
thusiasm provoked Senator Fairbanks
reception at the Coliseum his nomin-
alton for vice president is but little
less assured than the nomination of
Theodore Roosevelt for president.
The keynote to the campaign of
1904 was sounded by Elihu Root in
his speech as temporary chairman
His address was a review of the ac-
complishments of the present admin
istration and defense of the Repub-
lican policies in general. When that
had been delivered and the various
working committees dispatched to
their labors the business of the first
days session was completed.
Another picture was presented by
the opening day so different from the
customary convention scene as to at
tract marked attention. 1t was the
failure of the delegates and the spec
tators to Warm to the spirit of the oc-
casion. Mention of President Roo-e-
though not prolonged applause. The
lack of contests eliminated the neces-
sity for enthusiasm and the mild
cheering and rather listless hand clap
ping which was the greeting even i'm
partially to national figures of the
party was all. probably. that could be
expected under the circumstances.
The lack of public interest in the
convention was evidenced by the large
number of spectators seats vacant.
Seats at former Republican conven-
tions have usually brought prem
ium. Today spectators offered them.
but there were few takers, and as the
hour approached for the convention
to assemble they sold them for song.
The wilderness of vacant seats was
in the gallery and on the first floor

chairs were occupied. The first floor
was we'll filled.
The picture was one of good order,
where the sergeant -at-arms and police
men were not needed. From decor.
ative Doint Of view the Coliseum was
success. The architecture of the
imposing structure is peculiarly ad
apted to the interior dress given it,
Flags and bunting were used pro
fusely but in good taste. Foliage and
palms softened the general color
scheme and formed a setting for sixty
large engravings of President Roose-
welt used in festooniug the national
colors, above the galleries and rang
ing entirely around the hall
The crowning feature of the decor
ations is painting of the late Senat-
or Hanna which hangs directly over
the platform and occupies the most
conspicuous position in the Coliseum.
Something Of the magnitude of this
painting may be realized when it is
said that its surface is as great in
square feet as the combined surface of
the sixty large pictures of the presi-
dent
President Roosevelt, however, was
as prominently shown TO the delegat-
es in heroic painting spectaoularlv
unveiled on the chai rman's platform
at the conclusion nf Mr.. Roots speech,
climax that brought prolonged
o ltburst of enthusiasm.
The incident which is destined to
live long after the spasmotic demon
strations have been forgotten occurred
during Mr.. Roots tribute to Presid-
ent Mckinley. The temporary chair
man spoke of the late president S
administration of progress, his gentle
ness of character and those qualities
so beloved by the nation, and in that
connection said feelinRlv:
"And with Mr.. Mckinley we re-
member Hanna. "
a hush almost oppressive spread
over the 1000 or more persons pres
ent. The speaker had paused expect
antly AS he started to resume the
full force of the tie between the two
greatest of recent political heroes,
went home to the delegates The ap-
plause started and in a sympathetic
wave was carried to every part of the
great hall. The demonstration was
unlike any that had preceded it or
came after An indefinite dignity
was attached to the demonstration.
which seemed foreign to political
gathering.

cothrsn & Co.'s Stock Letter.

By Ware & Leland.
 New York, April 27.-The stock mar ket has been an irregular affair all day The weak specially steel preferred which declined then recovered on short coY- ering.
 The strong stock, Consolidated Gas, which was bought upon the theory that Odell would not veto the Remsen bill The list generally showed good under tone and a moderate extension of the short covering rally.
 There is no doubt that whenever the market Is over sold it will rally itself upon the shorts. We do not believe that this rally will extend much further un- less something favorable develops, but 1t is not a time to become enthusiastic either on bull or bear side.
 Conditions do not favor It. Those who can afford to buy and hold stocks of worth and purchase upon a scale down in case of slumps will be well rewarded in the next six of eight months.
 In the meantime. we would not be sur prised to see a drive made at the gen. eral market. A fair bond demand Is re- ported. Total sales, 152,100.

 New Orleans. April 27.-As Liverpool was better than expected our market opened to 8 points higher, and subse- quently advanced II to 21 additional points on shorts covering. The lack of outside speculation and the predictions of fair and warmer weather throughout the south today and Thursday caused break later of 16 points from the top on old crop months and to on new. The steadlness and fair demand for spots superinduced an improvement near the close. making the net gain IS to % points on near months and 10 on the late; biv- erpool continues to lead the advance and private cables from there say that the Manchester market Is active and firmer. A larger business Is doing and spinners are expected to buy freely for the immediate present The local spot demand is fair, and it is claimed that holders are asking higher prices which checks business otherwise the sales would be consider ably larger. Several thousand notices were issued today and stopped, but 1t looks as if the May interest Is nearly liquidated. The absence of outside spec ulation, the restricted demand for spots in America and predictions for warmer weather throughout the belt prevented activity in deliveries. If spinners increase their talsings values will seek higher level In the meanwhile the action or Liverpool and spinners and the weather conditions will be the governing feature.

COTTON OPENS UP AT SLIGHT ADVANCE New Orleans Bulls Kept the
 Prices Up. CONTINUED THE BIDDING Renewal of Selling By Room Shorts Late In the Day Showed Some
 what Easier Tend
 ency.

New York. April 27.-The cotton market opened steady at an advance of to noints on active covering, promoted by very firm English cables, particularly in reference to spot cotton, sales of which were reported of ten thousand bales at an advance of 20 English points, while tu- lures, refecting the improvement Tn trade conditions were also higher than expected. Some of the home clement however. showed an inclination to con time the selling movement started late yesterday, and their offerings for a time restricted the advancing tendency.
 It was the first May notice day in New Orleans and apprehensions as to the et- feet of notices in that market at hrst seemed to restrict buying, but 1t soon oe- veloped that the southern bulls were taking all tenders with private wires, in- dicating that they were bidding for more This started a more active demand Tn the local market. Spot interests seemed to be buying the summer months ana May. while commission houses adopted buving orders for the late positions, in spite of the fact that the weather map was thought to be generally favorable. Prices before midday had been advanced to 13. 75 for May, 1896 for July and n.bo for October, net gains of II to @ points
 This level attracted more liquidation by smaller longs. however, and a renewal of selling by the room shorts who had covered early and during the afternoon the market while very irregular showed a somewhat easier tendency in spite Of light estimates for tomorrow's receipts at leading points, and predictions for an- other bullsh showing by Liverpool to- morrow as a result of the pullish deVel- opments in New Orleans. Spot interets that had been buying in the forenoon were selling in the late market, and there ap- pears to be more bear pressure.
 The market was finally steady and a net advance of to 20 points. Sales were reported of 100000 bales. Receipts of cot ton at the ports were Si95 bales, against 6SO3 last week. and 9664 last year. For the week, 50000, against 56,5O1 last week. and 66. 561 last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans were 3162, against 1894 last year, and at Houston, 1884, against 37oS last year.

cothran 6 Co.'s Cotton Letter.

By Gilbert X Clay.
 New York April 27-The market recov- cred sharply today when July sold 1395. This only shows how serious 1t Is to be short of the market on any decline. The situation from the standpoint of hgures Is so strong that short sellers may wake up any morning with the market In the air The only thing that would induce a man to sell short is the prospect or a surplus 1t locks like a famine rather than a surplus and while trade conditions and lot of surroundings operate against the bull side, it Is a very different thing to be short of the market. There Is so little cotton available that shorts may have to pay fancy prices for their cotton when they come to cover.
 When the market gets sold out 1t does not take much buying to start things np again. It Is a very difficult market 10 make money in. This is likely to be the case for some time to come The new crop planting drags prices down, and a little later every cold wind or hot wind or no wind at all will cause shorts to scramble.
 This Is the case when the supply Of old cotton Is short. It would be more than ever the case this year. For time we would like to see October work back to about 11c.

 New York April 27.-Today's stock market was even less active than on yes terday but the tone continued strong on covering of shorts induced by the ab- senee of liquidation. There was no change in the character of the dealings. how ever, and London was only moderate buyer on balance. The announcement of further gold exports was without in 1uence and crop and other news was not sufficiently significant to stimulate ven lures In either direction. As a rule, the gains in the railroad list were only fractional. United States Steel preferred continues under attack but recovered it's loss at the end Pressed Steel Car advanced 1h per cent on more favorable dividend rumors, but did not hold the full gain. Copper developed more firm ness on trade outlook and A. N c. sold up 3 points. Sugar was little more than steady notwithstanding an advance in price of the refined product.
