stroke At first hand. and this is proved
by the wild and demoniacal outbursts
which greeted it's reception in the dy-
ing hours of the convention, when all
hope of retaHating upon the candidate
had vanished. Judge Parker wisely
communicated his views to the States
men in that convention, and they in
turn delivered it in broken doses to
tn fellows who think they are states
men. Ben Tillman tried to stand on
his head and spit backward when he
heard the news, and when he recovered
his voice, said, what everybody on
earth knows to be true that s~The dem
ocratie party can always be depended

collapsed. The courtIy Senator Dan

cltement of tie moment, and his root
ers conscious that the psychological
moment had arrived proclaimed hin

read: MY dear Danforth.-It was

Mr. Bryan smiled as he replaced the
'etter, and resumed his reading. Then
he turned to the story of Judas, who
betrayed our Lord for thirty pieces of

interrupted him to say that Judge

New York, Sept. 19-PriceS of
stocks lost ground again today and
there was a decided Shrinkage in the
volume Of business. This was partly
attributable to the occurrence of the
important Jewish holiday of Yom Kip
pur, the observance of which kept a
large element away from the session of
the Stack Exchange. The appearance
of weakness was most acute at the
time the corn market was strongest
giving a suggestion of the factor of
greatest influence on sentiment. The
movement in both markets was not
based on immediate news develop
ments but on the appearance of esti-
mates of the volume of the crop by
experts, who have won some following
in the course of the recent active spec
ulation in wheat and in stocks. These
estimates were of a total crop of less
than two billion bushels compared
with a crop indicated by the govern
ments figures of September first of
2491. 1000. 900 bushels. There was in
creasing discussion also of the money
outlook. based on the Sunday bank
statement. The effect of this state
ment was per cent. rate for call
loans and a firmer tone Tor time loans

New York, Sept. 19.-It was a quiet
day i'm the cotton market with fluctua-
tons showing irregularity, but d gener-
ally steady undertone. The market was
steady at unchanged prices to an adj
vance of points or little better than
due on cables, which reached an adj
vance of only L point. The weather
over the belt was generally favorable,
but the trade evidently feared a bull
ish bureau report tomorrow, and fol-
lowing the call prices advanced to a
net gain of about 06 points. There
was selling by prominent floor brokers
or the advance, and when the esti-
mates for receipts at tomorroWS lead
ing points came in and it was found
that the days ports would greatly ex-
ceed estimates, the market sold off to
net loss of 2fb5 points. From this
level it recovered to about the closing
prices of Saturday, and during the
middle session ruled very quiet within
q few points of that level. Later, how
ever, there was support by local bulls,
accompanied by furry of covering by
September shorts and the market in
the last half hour was more active
than at any previous time during the
day. 1t closed very steady with Sep
TENDER IA and other months sos
points higher.
Sales were estimated at 10000
bales.
Exports for the day were fair. but
well behind pert receipts, and stocks
at all United States ports are slowly
accommodating, being now about 243116
bales. against 1914, 430 bales year ago.
The estimates for tomorrow's leading
points are all full, particularly for Gal
weston. The trade are expecting total
port receipts tomorrow of between
65, 900 and 10000 bales.
Owing to the private reports of crop
deterioration and the idea that it was
too wet and cold in the Western belt
during the past week, a bullish weekly
report is expected .t noon tomorrow,
and part of the covering today was
undoubtedly based on this contingency
