To the Democracy of the Nation:
Our thanks are due to the members
of the national committee and to the
executive committee in charge Of the
campaign for most unselhsh, capable
and brilliant party service. All that
it was possible for men to do they
did, but our difficulty was beyond the
reach of party managers.
I am most grateful to them and
wish in this general way to extend
my thanks to the workers, as we'll as
the rank as file, all over the country.
l know how hard they struggled
against overwhelming odds, and I
only wish I could take each one by
the hand and thank him.
Deeply as ! regretted leaving the
bench at the time of it, in the pres
ence of Overwhelming defeat, I do
not lament it. I thought it was my
duty. In the light of my present in
formation I am now even more con-
i;dent that I did right. I shall never
..tk nomination for public Office,
but I shall to the best of my ability
serve the party that has honored me,
and through the party serve my
country
After this word of thanks the Judge
went into a lengthy and mastery dis
cussion of the mission of the demo-
cratic pc ~, of the trust corruption,

LeIshman q Co.'s Cotton Letter.

The cotton market opened easier this
morning in response to the easier feeling
in Liverpool, favorable weather and the
drop In consols. Around the opening tho
old bull crowd bought moderately and this
resulted In moderate recovery but shorts
became aggressive on the bulge with the
result that the advance was lost While
the monthly government report yesterday
made very favorable showing which
caused the remarkable steadiness now in
the market in the face of the large crop
estimate, where a factor which could not
be easily overlooked. 1t is said that the
condition crop. as reported by the gov
eminent, is about the best that can be
expected and as this is the crucial period
for the growing plant, the favorable
weather conditions must be kept up until
the plant natures in order to bring out
the bumper predicted. 1t Is very evident
however, that the favorable condition cam
not be expected to remain as they are.
until the. crop is ready for picking and
that owing to the tenderness of the plant
at this time any unfavorable weather
would do enormous damage to crop and
incidentally cut down the yield. 1t is at
this season that makes short sellers ner-
veus over their position, makes the short
selling of cotton risk dangerous to run
under existing conditions and too danger.
Gus to take to secure moderate profits
We are inclined TO the long side of the
market and advise conservative purchases
at present prices.

CROP PROSPECT
HAS INFLUENCE
Cotton Outlook is Bright and
Wheat Poor
ONE OFFSETS The OTHER
Report of Large Purchase In Pig Iron
Led to Some Realizing In
the Iron and Steel
Stocks.
ONE OFFSETS The OTHER

New York, August 4.-The brilliant
j prospect for the cotton crop as revealed
by yesterdays publication of the gov
eminent estimate was the dominant In
4 fuenee in the stock market today but
this waned somewhat in the course of
the session.
This was partly due to the suggestive
steadlness of the price of cotton Itself
which served to arouse msgivings of
damage to the crop since the date of the
government estimate and partly to the
excitement which developed in the wheat
market. The latter was due to receipts
of alarmist receipts from the northwest
as to the extent of damage to spring
wheat, which served to offset the prom
Uses of the cotton crop.
There was very little pressure to sell
stocks developed, but a marked mas
position to make speculative commit
ments which resulted in running down
OF the rate of activity to near the point
fof idleness. 1t is not likely that con-
fidence in the harvesting of a bumper
cotton crop will be impaired, except py
much more indecisive indications OF de-
terioration than were present To-Day
The present low condition OF supplies
over last years highest prices, aoos 70
the hopefulness of the outlook oy prom
Using an enlarged demand.
But the decline in estimates of the
wheat crop detracts from the prospec-
tive advantage of an unusually good for
Neign demand Belief in poor foreign
crop prospects plays a large part in the
tpresent strength of wheat, but the
amount of the exportab.e surplus
shrinks materially with the later esti-
mates of our wheat crop.
It is very notable also that foreign de-
nand for wheat is not inclined to follow
the market to the higher price levels
! The upward bound in wheat quickly az
fected the stock market, and that and
the disposition to take profits, affected
the cotton stocks as well. The effecs of
the maintenance of the Erie first pre-
Iferred dividend had been discounted yes
terday before its declaration. The ac-
tion is of good effect on speculative sem
timent, however, as an index of conf
dence in the revival which it is felt must
be in sight if the declaration is to be
justified.
A report of a large purchase of pig
iron led to some realizing in the iron
and steel stocks. The fact that the divi-
dend will be deducted from United States
steel preferred on Saturday served to re-
call the heavy selling which followed the
deduction of the last dividend, and gave
an uncertain tone to that influential stock.
Some depression was caused by the APP
parently authorized admission that the eff
forts to arrange for the distribution OF
the amounts of the dividends to which
Northern Securities stockholders are en-
titled has been abandoned.

trades kept attention alive to that branch

POOR RESPONSE
TO LOW CABLES
fluctuations During Day More
or less Irregular
LARGE AMOUNT OFFERING
Is Plain That No Aggressive Attempt
Is Being Made to Advance Cotton
Prices-Sales Were
$4,000 Bales.

New York, August 4-The cotton
market opened steady at a decline of
two to four points which was very
poor response to the lower Liverpool
cables and the generally favorable in
depreciation of the weather map. 1t
sold a point or two lower ON some
months in the early trading, reaching a
net decline of about two to six points,
but was rallied by renewal of bull
support. While fluctuations were more or
less irregular during the balance of the
steady At one time prices were about
four to five points higher on the more
active positions. and the close was very
steady at a net advance or 2Q7 points.
Sales were estimated at 10000 bales.
Considering the bearisnness OF yester-
days report, it was surprising the
amount of cotton Offering, particularly
as the cables indicated heaviness abroad,
and as the days weather map made a
fairly favorable showing. But it looked
almost as though the assertion of the
bulls that every one had sold who would
sell on good crop news, was not far from
the mark, for while the news in this re-
spect was very evident that something
fresh would be required to stimulate Of
ferings. But while there was so little
pressure. 1t was also plain that no agrees
sive attempt was being made to advance
prices.
During the entire session five or six
brokers stood around the ring without
making any show whatever until q
selling order would make its appearance
that threatened decline, when they
take all that WAS
Offering. The bulls, however, seemed
perfectly content to hold prices at the
present level, and were thought to be
selling on very firm spots, evidently with
a view to holcing their lines at about
LIST nights figures.
