PARKER AND DAVIS.

The net outcome of the National
Democratic Convention. which
was IN session four days in st.
Louis last week, was the adoption
of an excellent platform, minus
assfinanciaI plank, and the nominal
ton Of Judge Alton B. Parker,
of New York, for President, and
Ex-S Senator Henry g. Davis, Of
West Virginia, for vice President.
The platform was unanimously
agreed to by the Committee on
resolutions and unanimously
adopted by the Convention, and
each of the candidates on the tick
ct was nominated on the 6rst bal
lot. a fire brand was thrown in
to the Convention late Saturday
evening by a delayed telegram
from Judge Parker, to VIM. f.
Sheehan, saying:
j regard the gold standard as
firmly and irrevocably establish
ed, and shall act accordingly il
the action of the convention of TO-
day shall be ratified by the people.
As the platform is silent on the
subject, my views should be made
known to the convention, and If
lit is proved to be unsatisfactory
to the majority, / request you to
decline the nomination for me at
once so that another may be nom
mated before adjournment. .
After i great deal of excite
ment and discussion, Mr.. Sheehan
was directed By the Convention
to wile the following reply to
Judge Parker.
The platform adopted by this
convention is silent on the cues
tion of monetary standard because
it is not regarded by as as a pos
sible issue in this campaign, and
only campaign issues were mem
toned in the platform. There
fore there is nothing in the views
expressed by you in the telegram
just received which would pre-
clude q man entertaining them
from accepting a nomination on
said platform.
It was past midnight Saturday
night when the Convention adj
journed sine die.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

NV York, Jan. 29.-Prices OF stocks had
a wavering uncertain movement today that
hardly deserved the name of fluctuations
During the course of the day the mar
ket came almost absolutely to a stand
still. The undertone was heavy, how
ever, and the slight advances at one time
attained were indifferently held. Prob
ably the conviction that some sort OF
crisis was near at hand in tho strained
situation in the Far East, helped to par
alyze speculative activity. Even the COM
modify markets reflected some disposition
to await the definite outcome of the Rus
sian reply to the Japanese proposals. The
extreme ease of call money today did not
indicate any notable weakening OF the
condition of the banks, although consld-
cradle loan expansion is expected In to-
morrows statement. United States Steel

ity was much less today. Trade reviews
continued to add to the weight Of opinion
against improving prospects in the trade.
The Union Pacific favorable net earnings
for December offered a contrast pleasing
to investors with the uniform tendency

which was exemplified in the returns for

Makes Money Hunting Minks.
(Elkin Times.)

Mr. NJ. D. Ashley OF Longtown was in
town last Saturday with a maddox, d
mink and three fine large dogs. We asked
"a few questions and found that he is a
professional mink hunter. Those dogs are
otrained until they will hunt a mink as
a fox dog does a fox. Mink skins once
sold for 80 cents and sometimes $10),
Now they are worth from $3.50 to $3.5
Mr. Ashley takes his dogs out soon in
the morning and hunts along some branch
or creek where minks usually run Soon
they find a trail and there is no let UP
until his mink-ship is tracked to his den
in some clay bank Then it is a small
job to dig him up. Mr.. Ashley says he
hardly ever goes out without finding one.
In the past seven days he said he had
caught seven and their fur would bring
him $500 in hard cash. Now don't every
body try to buy those dogs-they are not
for sale.

Cotton Letter

Raleigh n. c., Jan. 29th, 1904-Cotton
The week has been most eventtul one.
In fact it is doubtful if the SIX days have
had their equal this season or in the
whole history OF cotton speculation Prices
are way up to point where from day
to dav trader does not know whether
the price is sixteen forty, fifteen forty,
or fourteen forty. The fractions are as
easily kept in mind as the cents and both
are difficult Trading has been on large
scale as far as the insiders go; but the
public has generally been getting out OF
the market For this, every commits
sion house returns greatful thanks. No
one but the responsible head of a con
Germ can conceive the wear and tear OF
such market as this. The strain is ser
ious for mans good credit, his CONNER
cial integrity, his very reputation, may
be called upon to bear a burden at any
moment. There never has been but one
end to debauch Of this kind. We be-
lieve there never will be but one The
crash that will mark the elimination Of
the advance may come TOMORROW, or next
week. We don't care to be long off the
market at this time and beg everyone to
get out any price and as soon as pos
sibe No living man knows the value
of cotton Consumption and the indus
try have built up on cotton less than
ten cents What will be the effect OF
fifteen cent, and twenty cent cotton?
Who is ambitious enough to attempt to
answer? When every familiar landmark
has been left behind and there is ship
sailing on unknown seas without com
pass, there must be a very wise and able
captain, or the passengers can expect to
land on the rocks. The cotton situation
is unique, different from any the oldest
trader has ever seen, and there is needed
caution and strength of character on the
part of everyone to keep out of the
meshes. Everyone now talks twenty cents
and at twenty cents they will be talking
twenty-five cents. 1t is time for one of
those sensational breaks where prices run
off a cent in a day.
