The prospects for a fair price
for cotton this fall are anything
but good. Spot cotton will not
now bring more than ten and Q
half cents a pound, and the mill.
are unable to sell their yarn at any
price. There is absolutely no de
mand. The only mills that are
able to run at profit right now
are those that have made sales
ahead, and they are having trouble
with the commission men who
under conditions like these in>
variably devote themselves to
picking flaws and claiming that
goods are not mp to contract.
About the only reasonable hope
there is for better prices of cotton
is an increased demand for cotton
goods. This may come about but
there is no certainty about it

Judge Parker's gold standard

Senator Daniel, of Virginia, said

ing almost to audacity," adding
that cit was a bold, courageous
stroke, and will do much to dis
pei the popular opinion that the
party's candidate is without firm
convictions upon the issues before
the country" and concluding that
"Judge Parker's bold stand on
this question has made him many
thousand votes stronger than he
could possibly have been had he
accepted the nomination upon a
platform that ignored the money
issue" While the Philadelphia
Record says that "silent when
there was no occasion for speak
ing, Judge Parker has spoken the
decisive word because the occasion
has arri. ed. He has proved HIM
self the man and the patli lot that
his friends knew him to be, and,
rising above personal ambitions,
and what was believed to be party
expediency, he has stated with
absolute clearness his position ON
the currency question where the
silence of the platform invited
misconstruction and was liable to
compromise him.
Indeed it was a brave man who
could renounce presidential nom
ination rather than preserve ST.

sent this telegram to the conven-
